The location of Japanese nobles’ villas – Kyoto Arashiyama (Bamboo Forest and Kameyama Park)

If you want to experience the beauty of Kyoto's mountains and rivers, Arashiyama, located in Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto, is the first choice. Therefore, since the Heian period, many nobles have chosen to build villas in Arashiyama. Its beauty has also attracted many literary masters to use it as the background of their literary works. Arashiyama was originally located in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, but was later moved to the new Nishikyo Ward. However, nowadays, many people visit Arashiyama together with Saga in Ukyo Ward, so they are collectively referred to as Arashiyama. Arashiyama is the area with the most World Heritage Sites in Kyoto, including Tenryuji Temple, Ninnaji Temple, Ryoanji Temple and Kozanji Temple. If you are heading there from Randen, Tenryuji Temple is right in front of the station. There are also famous places such as the Bamboo Forest Trail, Togetsukyo Bridge, and Hozugawa River. If you really want to visit them, you can't finish them in one day, not to mention taking a train to see the red leaves, so you can only choose a few of them. The most recommended one is the bamboo forest path in Arashiyama. This "road" is just behind Tenryuji Temple. There is a large bamboo forest. As soon as you walk in, you will smell the fresh bamboo fragrance. Walking here is like being in another world. You will also pass Kameyama Park along the way. There is also an observation deck in the park. During the red leaf season, you can look down at the Hozu River from a high altitude. The mountains on both sides are covered with maple trees of different colors. It is really beautiful! There are also many maple trees in the park, and the red leaves on the trees and scattered on the ground are another beautiful sight. #日本景点 #国外 #日本 #乡下 #京都 #岚山 #红叶 #japan #kyoto #arashiyama
