😍 Arashiyama Hike + Viewpoint COMBO 🇯🇵

#mountainhike If you think all you do is temple hopping in Kyoto, then you are wrong! There are great hikes in the area where you can feel the serenity of japanese nature! The Arashiyama hike is a truly breathtaking trip of nature! As it was the beginning of the day, I made my way into the the lake next to the bamboo forest, where a soft rustle of bamboo leaves was welcoming me in. Each step I took was pure magic due to the calm atmosphere combined with the fresh air. Along with the fresh air, I was welcomed into unique viewpoints that acted as a balcony to the stunning valleys below. Their beauty was simply ASTONISHING. To further make my experience even better, I slowed down and got myself some japanese food along the way! If you have a whole day, make sure you check out the lovely Monkey Park around. Simply put, this hike + viewpoint is a combination of tranquil spots and marvelous adventure all in one for hikers like me and you!
