Just spent the most AMAZING day in Arashiyama, and oh my gosh, you HAVE to add this spot to your autumn adventures bucket list! 🍂📝 Here’s how to capture all those enchanting vibes in just one day! 🧡✨ * Get the vintage looking Keifuku Randen Tram from Shijo-Omiya station to Arashiyama Station. The earlier you can get the better. * Start with an early morning walk in the Bamboo Groove - this should be fist on your list as the crowds later will definitely make the experience less romantic. 🎋 * Move to the iconic Togetsu-kyo Bridge! The Katsura River looks absolutely STUNNING with fall colors reflecting off its surface. Talk about #NatureTherapy! * Stroll along the river for breathtaking views. Get some coffee to go and enjoy the morning by the river. * 🍵 Refuel in the afternoon with some food, matcha and traditional Japanese sweets at a local tea house! Because, what’s an adventure without treats, right? 😋💚 * Then explore the cute souvenir shops and get some presents for your loved ones. * Visit some of the temples, sprinkled around Arashiyama, so many to choose from * Before going back at night, visit the amazing kimono patterns display at the train station. * Seriously, everyone, Arashiyama in the fall is something else. 🥺🍂 Have you been here? Or is it on your list? DM me with your fav fall travel spots! 💌🧳 #arashiyama #bamboogrove #kyoto #japan
