#MarchGoodPlaces2025 In Kyoto, the most memorable attraction must be the Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama. Togetsukyo Bridge is a very famous attraction in Arashiyama, Kyoto. This bridge has a long history. Whether it is the cherry blossoms in spring 🌸 or the red leaves in autumn 🍁, it attracts countless tourists. It also connects Saga Arashiyama and is definitely one of the representative tourist attractions in Kyoto. The purpose of this trip to Togetsukyo Bridge is to experience wearing a kimono 👘 strolling along Togetsukyo Bridge 😍. It was my first time wearing a kimono, and I was a little nervous at first. There are many kimono rental shops on the most prosperous street of Togetsukyo Bridge. The shops are separated by men and women. Each of you chooses the kimono style you like and puts it on. The clerk will help you put it on, and then help you to put your hair up and choose a headdress. (Because I am not very good at it, I asked the clerk to put it on casually. 🙈) When everything is ready, you can gather the men to stroll around the romantic Togetsukyo Bridge. Wearing a kimono, you need to change your usual free and unrestrained steps into ladylike small steps. 🙈, it was a little uncomfortable at first, but walking in small steps allows you to enjoy the scenery for a longer time. Fortunately, there were still beautiful cherry trees when we came 🌸. 🌟🌟 After strolling across the Togetsukyo Bridge, you can also walk to the famous "Arashiyama Bamboo Forest". The bamboo forest is densely packed with towering bamboos, as if out of the real world, making people feel relaxed and happy.💚 Although there were many tourists and it was difficult to take a photo of myself with the bamboo forest, this beautiful scenery remained in my mind and could not be forgotten. If you go to Kyoto, don't miss it to feel the tranquility here, away from the bustling city. (Anyway, I like it very much 💕) 🕰️Opening hours: Togetsukyo Bridge is a public bridge, open 24 hours a day 🚄Transportation: 1- Take the Hankyu Arashiyama Line to Arashiyama Station and walk 10 minutes to Togetsukyo Bridge 🚄Transportation: 2-JR Sagano Line to Saga Arashiyama Station, walk 10 minutes to Togetsukyo Bridge (🌟This is the route I took at Kyoto Station) 🚄Transportation: 3-Keifu Arashiyama Main Line (Arashiden) to Arashiyama Station, get off at Togetsukyo Bridge. 🌟🌟 There is a Sagano sightseeing train next to the Sagano Arashiyama station, you can also choose to take it. (I will introduce the train in the next article 😊) #Kyoto #Arashiyama Togetsukyo Bridge #Arashiyama Bamboo Forest #Japan #Kimono Experience

Visiting Arashiyama is an incredibly fun experience that satisfies your cravings for beautiful scenery, history, and delicious food all at once! First, the Arashiyama Scenic Railway is a must-ride! As the train moves along, the view outside the window is exceptionally unique, with lush greenery on both sides and a serene scene of boaters on the river. Riding this train leisurely through the mountains is the best way to relax. 📍Tenryu-ji Temple: A Perfect Blend of History and Nature After getting off the train, the first stop is Tenryu-ji Temple. The garden in this temple is incredibly beautiful, and the scenery and air make you feel very peaceful. Standing in the garden, you can see the surrounding mountains and lakes, making you feel like you've stepped into a painting. Moreover, Tenryu-ji itself has many historical stories, so if you are interested in Japanese culture and history, this place is worth taking your time to appreciate. 📍Bamboo Grove: Entering a Dreamy Green Tunnel Moving forward, you will reach the famous Bamboo Grove. The bamboo here grows tall and dense, making you feel like you are entering a green tunnel, which is both mysterious and romantic. Just walking inside and listening to the sound of bamboo swaying in the wind will make you feel relaxed, as if time has slowed down. 📍Arashiyama Station (Togetsukyo Bridge): A Paradise for Food Lovers After enjoying these beautiful sights, it's time to replenish your energy! There are many delicious eateries near Arashiyama Station, offering everything from Japanese cuisine to snacks. Among them, the fried tofu skin is highly recommended—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of aroma. One bite and you won't be able to stop! There's also matcha ice cream, which is so rich and delicious! In summary, whether it's riding the scenic train to enjoy the views, walking through the Bamboo Grove to feel nature, finding peace in Tenryu-ji, or enjoying the food near the station, Arashiyama is a perfect place for a day trip! However, remember to come early, as popular spots can get quite crowded. But no matter what, the beautiful scenery and delicious food here will make you very happy!

Let me share my experience from 2024 as a guideline. 🌸🍡 Travel period: 2/4/2024-9/4/2024 The average temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius. There is rain on some days. The morning is cold. The late morning is cool and not too cold. ✈️ Airline: Japan Airlines, a full-service airline. Good flight times, direct flights, 23 kg luggage weight, 2 bags / person, and 7 kg carry-on. Shoppers don't have to worry about weight. Book through Trip.com.

Fushimi jikkokubune Boat 3. Osaka Castle 4. Kamo River Kyoto 5. Uji Kyoto 6. Arashiyama 🌸🍒⛅️Precautions for traveling during the cherry blossom season 🍡🇯🇵📍 ❌🚫 Don't touch, don't climb ❌🚫 There was a moment of shock when someone climbed the cherry tree!!! While taking a video, the cherry blossoms were beautiful. The mood of the picture changed. Sob. I want to campaign. Just take pictures. Don't touch the flowers or climb the tree. The cherry blossoms will fall in a short while. The more you touch it, the faster it falls off. People who come later instead of seeing its beauty, don't get to see it. Or really, no matter what kind of tree or flower it is, we shouldn't touch or destroy it. You can take beautiful pictures without touching it. This is the first time I went during the cherry blossom season and I saw it right away. I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to see it this beautiful. It's beyond expectations. Anyway, I hope everyone gets to see cherry blossoms. My heart is so full. 🩷🌸 #OsakaTravelPlan #OsakaTrip #OsakaAttractions #sakura #OsakaTravel #osaka #kyoto #JapanTravel #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelPlanShare

Taking the Sagano Scenic Railway from Arashiyama, you will soon arrive at the famous 'Kameoka Station' terminal. Kameoka City is located in the heart of Kyoto, nestled in the beautiful environment known as 'Forest Kyoto.' The natural beauty, spiritual heritage, and adventurous activities here are intertwined, making it a place you will never want to leave. In Kameoka, you have the opportunity to visit the historical headquarters built by Akechi Mitsuhide, who assassinated Oda Nobunaga, and experience that exciting history firsthand, feeling the changes of the past. Additionally, you can experience rich traditional culture at the Forest Station, learn about local customs and art forms, and gain a deeper understanding of this land. For adventure lovers, Kameoka also offers a variety of outdoor activities. Especially the Hozu River boat ride, where you can experience the thrill of rapids. This journey takes about two hours, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery while feeling the excitement of a racing heart. Additionally, you can take a horse-drawn carriage to tour the scenery along the Hozu River. When leaving, you can choose to take the JR Sanin Main Line from Umahori Station. On the way, I recommend enjoying green tea or chestnut-flavored ice cream at a dessert shop. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or an adventure sports lover, Kameoka is a perfect destination waiting for you to discover its endless charm.

Kyoto is one of my favorite cities in Japan, and it is also one of the most representative cities in Japanese history. Arashiyama is like the backyard of Kyoto, as beautiful as a painting. 🌟Travel guide: 1. Togetsukyo Bridge: Standing on the bridge, you can take a beautiful picture with a casual snap. 2. Bamboo Forest: Surrounded by nature, the air is refreshing, and walking on the path in the bamboo forest feels like walking in a painting. 3. Kinkaku-ji: The two attractions above are not very big, so after visiting them, you can go to Kinkaku-ji, which is also one of the places I recommend in Kyoto. The first floor, Hosui-in, is a Japanese aristocratic residence. The second floor, Choon-do, is mainly focused on Buddha statues. The third floor, Kukyo-cho, is mainly focused on relics. The garden inside is particularly beautiful, with the building reflected in the lake, like a poem or painting. The ticket is also in the shape of the character "fu", and the whole place is worth visiting. 🚗Transportation: Take the JR to Arashiyama Station for the Bamboo Forest. 🍗Food: You can enjoy matcha-flavored food at a nearby cafe with a terrace. Kyoto's matcha is a must-try!

#travelvlog Kyoto, Japan, is a city steeped in history and cultural charm, making it a paradise for travel vloggers and culture lovers alike. Known for its breathtaking temples, serene gardens, and centuries-old shrines, Kyoto offers a journey back in time. Key attractions include the Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), the sprawling Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and the Fushimi Inari Shrine, famous for its thousands of vermilion torii gates. Travelers are drawn to the city’s enchanting cherry blossoms in spring, while autumn brings a vibrant display of red and orange leaves. The local cuisine, from traditional kaiseki to street foods like matcha-flavored treats, also adds to the immersive experience. A stroll through the Gion district might even lead to a rare sighting of a geisha. Kyoto blends the ancient and the modern, providing a range of photo and video opportunities to document an unforgettable adventure.

We found a tempura restaurant that is so delicious that we want to go back again and again. It also has a great feeling. It gives a Japanese atmosphere!! 🇯🇵 A true Arashiyama view. ⛰️🏞️ We accidentally found this restaurant through Google Maps. At that time, we didn't know what to eat. So we used the method of looking at the map. Whichever restaurant looked good, we would go and choose. And we found this restaurant, Maikohan. At first, we didn't have any expectations because we didn't do our homework. We were just hungry!!! When we arrived, we were disappointed because the restaurant opens at 11 a.m. We went at 10:30 a.m. But it's okay. The view there heals our hearts. We can sit and wait and take cool pictures. The cherry blossoms are blooming all along the walkway 🌸 We got tons of pictures! Our luck was that we went before the restaurant opened. Actually, you have to make a reservation at this restaurant in advance. But since there happened to be an empty seat!! So we went!! 🍤 The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cute in a Japanese style. Plus, our hunger was exploding, so we ordered a huge tempura set!! 😋 16 skewers, full, and 2 bowls of rice. 🍚🍢 And it was so much happiness. It's so delicious that I don't want to finish it. And you can ask for more rice. The soup is excellent. 🫖 And I can't stop eating. It's delicious. It's really well-made. I want to recommend everyone. Go, try it. It's really delicious. And the view is amazing. It's so complete. Finish with jelly. 🍮 The dessert in the set is also well-made. Oh, Google Maps is real. I have to say that I endured being hungry and waiting for the shop to open. I'm so proud of myself. ⭐️ Satisfaction: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💰 ¥3,000-4,000 per person ⏰ 11: 00-15: 00 (not sure about holidays) 📍Maikohan #maikohan #arashiyama #kyoto #Japan #tempura #japan #trending #tagwithlemon8 #food

Another must-visit check-in spot in Kyoto is the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. This tourist attraction is unique and has a long history. The highlight is the towering bamboo forest lining both sides of the path, creating a long walkway for tourists to stroll through. Just a bit further, you'll come across Arashiyama Park. The atmosphere here is pleasant and visually appealing. The area preserves its ancient charm, and you can even take a rickshaw ride to enjoy the bamboo forest.

After visiting Kiyomizu-dera during the off-peak season, I took a break at the highly popular Yun Cha nearby. They say that if you don't have matcha in Kyoto, you might as well not have come. This matcha cloud cake is all over Instagram. It's as fluffy as a cloud ☁️ and as smooth as ice cream. The other matcha tiramisu 🍰 is a perfect blend of the slight bitterness of matcha and the milky aroma of tiramisu. It's soft and fluffy, and a spoonful of it is a mouthful of happiness! Matcha lovers will definitely fall in love with it! 🍵 I also ordered the recommended ice cream yuzu soda 🍧. It's refreshing and not greasy, and it's the perfect match for matcha desserts! 📍Yun Cha Cafe (Arashiyama branch)

The main hall of Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the autumn leaves complement each other beautifully, and both the bright colors during the day and the lights at night are unforgettable. For families with children, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is not only a place to enjoy maple leaf viewing, but also a place to stroll along the paths within the temple or purchase Kyoto specialty snacks in the nearby shopping streets, allowing children to experience more culture and fun. #### 4. Kurama Temple Located in northern Kyoto, Kurama Temple is a maple viewing spot that combines nature and history. The maple leaves at Kurama Temple are magnificent and layered, especially on the trail leading to the top of the mountain, where you and your children can enjoy the red leaves along the way. After reaching the top, you can also overlook the panoramic view of Kyoto city, which is undoubtedly a challenging and exploratory journey for children. In addition, the natural environment of Kurama Temple is very suitable for children to observe plants and animals up close and learn more about nature. #### 5.

#100 Ways to Travel Food Guide Address: 20-13 Saga Tenryuji-zoro-cho, Shimo-u-kyo-ku, Kyoto City, on the left side when exiting Arashiyama Station on the Keifuku Electric Railway (Arashiyama). Atmosphere/Facilities: There are bar seats and general seats, and single people can also be accommodated. Features: Located on the main street of Arashiyama, between the Keifuku Electric Railway (Arashiyama Station) and Togetsukyo Bridge, this is a famous store that Japanese Instagram fans are crazy about. It has counter seats and general seats, and can accommodate single people. I ordered the standard Matcha Cloud Set (云ノセット) for ￥1,280, which includes iced matcha latte and cloud matcha mousse. Drinks can be chosen iced or hot, but the cloud matcha mousse is not sold separately. The store is filled with images of bamboo or bamboo joints, which is very comfortable to look at. The outer layer of the cloud mousse is very thin chocolate, the middle is matcha mousse with red bean filling, and the bottom layer is cake. Matcha Latte is made with carefully selected Uji Matcha, with bittersweet ginseng and Matcha on top and special milk on the bottom. Eating it with mousse cake can neutralize the sweetness of the cloud mousse and the slight bitterness of matcha latte. This is the taste of Kyoto adults. I am so grateful that I can find a seat in Arashiyama on such a hot day~ Price per person: ￥1280 Rating: 3.5 (out of 5) #Arashiyama #Arashiyama Food #Cloud Tea #Togetsukyo Bridge #Kyoto #Kyoto Food #Japan #Japanese Food
