Kyoto Day Trip

3/5 Optional to go | Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is a unique and tranquil natural attraction in Kyoto, offering a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle. To fully enjoy the experience and avoid the crowds of tourists, it's best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon, preferably on a weekday. Visiting during the off-season, such as during the winter months, can also help avoid the peak tourist crowds. The forest's towering bamboo groves, soothing atmosphere, and stunning scenery make it a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers alike. I have still never went inside the bamboo forest because of how busy it gets.

3/5 Optional to go | Kinkaku-ji, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is a stunning temple in Kyoto with a majestic golden facade that reflects beautifully on the surrounding pond. I prioritize this lower than the other 2 temples, simply because this is less interactive
