Kyoto day tour from Osaka: Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji, Nijo Castle / Family Travelogue March 2014

We started the day tour in Arashiyama, located in the western outskirt of Kyoto.  We visited a few of the many this small neighborhood has to offer: The Togetsukyo Bridge, Tenryuji Temple and the Bamboo groves.  There are many small shops and restaurants nearby.

Arashiyama is one the most important sightseeing district in Kyoto.  It  is a mountain with an altitude  of 375 meters, filled with temples and shrines.  It is  full of cherry blossoms in spring, covered by red leaves in autumn and cupped with snow in winter
