Walking at Arashiyama

Arashiyama

It was a sunny day! I walked around Arashiyama with my guests. In these days we have a problem about new coronavirus. Many travelers canceled their tour to Japan, so there are not so much travelers in Kyoto. Arashiyama is the one of the popular areas, we cannot walk straight on the main street. But today we could walk easy.

We visited to Monkey Park. This monkey park is on the top of a hill, so we had to clime up about 20 minutes. There was a awesome city view. Monkey park is not only good place to enjoy monkeys but also good place to see a good view.

After the monkey park we walk to Bamboo forest, and The garden of an old movie star. That garden is so big and quiet. The entrance fee is little bit expensive, so not many people going inside. I know Bamboo forest is free, almost all travelers enjoy enough at Bamboo forest. But if you visit there, I recommend you to visit this movie star’s garden Okouchi Sansou.

We walked more after the garden, visited Giouji temple. This temple is quite calm place, one of the best places in Kyoto for me. My guests really enjoyed my guide tour. It was my pleasure!
