Arashimaya
We can get to Arashiyama from Kyoto station in 20 mins. At Arashiyama, we will rent a bicycle to go around, and we will go to the beautiful bamboo groves, and walk around the stretch of shopping street.
That's the Sagano train for sightseeing
Start cycling
We arrived at the stretch of bamboo trees.. it was super crowded.
And we saw lots of bamboo trees
Trying our hands at the famous pose
And more and more trees

We passed by Tenryuji temple but did not enter
Petals from sakura trees

And saw little kids out on their school outing

We arrived at Katsura river
That's Togetsukyo
