Arashiyama Review

Beautiful landscapes west of Kyoto with a few landmarks to visit such as the Togetsukyo bridge and the bamboo groves and the restaurants and shops selling traditiona Japanesel snacks and motcha sweets. A lovely half day promenade to enjoy the area. Stop by a coffee shop or an outlet to taste traditional milk flavoured and motcha flavoured ice creams! A lot of nice souvenir pictures to take!

to be honest, it is rather cold to go there (@arashiyama) in winter, nevertheless, we have fun to walk along the area for sightseeing, if you like to understand the culture or visit temples, it is highly recommended to travel to there,btw, we stayed at the Hyatt place Kyoto hotel, we may not recommend this hotel to others as the room is tiny and the breakfast is not so impressive,also the customer service is poor …

Located in the northwestern area of Kyoto, Arashiyama draws many visitors for its world-renowned bamboo grove but I actually love more the cafes and the walks among the river. There are a lunch and hot springs hut in the middle between two train lines. Another spot I really enjoyed was Ex-cafe where offers a self-grilled ‘odango’ set comes with Macha ❤️

樱花季和枫叶季日本岚山值得看。岚山小火车票一定要提前预定，当场买票有时会买不到，且间隔1小时一班少火车。4月9日去这一天当天3点前票都是满座。还好我在携程提前预定。不用换票电子二维码直接扫进站方便

购买门票很方便，提前购买值得，到现场购买的话，只有二小时以后的火车票了。

The scenery is very good. The atmosphere of the whole scenic spot is quiet and has a feeling of isolation. It is best to come here in the cherry blossom season or the red leaf season. The scenery will be more beautiful, of course, there will be more tourists. We went in winter, but unfortunately there was no snow full of brown eyes, there were not many people, the experience was average.

可能是3月去的关系，景色很一般，也可能期待比较高，所以看到后有点失望，真的很一般，还有劝大家3月头别去，真的很冷，一点想逛景点的欲望都没有。
