Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

When talking about Kyoto, many people think of the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. It is conveniently accessible by taking the JR train from Kyoto Station to Saga Arashiyama Station, which doesn't take long. It is recommended to go early in the morning. The distance from the station to the bamboo grove is about 700 meters. The atmosphere is shady. After walking past the bamboo grove and turning right, you will find Jojakkoji Temple, which is famous for its beautiful autumn leaves. The entrance fee is 500 yen, which is quite reasonable. There are many maple trees, making it worth the visit.
