Enjoying the Refreshing Early Summer in Arashiyama

I had the pleasure of spending a night in Arashiyama, Kyoto, and leisurely enjoying the early summer atmosphere. While the Togetsukyo Bridge is famous, the bamboo forest is particularly recommended during this season. Surrounded by the fresh green bamboo, the summer heat is alleviated, and as you venture deeper, you can feel the coolness. As expected, there were many tourists (especially inbound international visitors), which only proves how attractive this spot is. If you have time, I also recommend taking a rickshaw ride through the bamboo forest.
