嵐山での一日 – 紅葉を追いかけて🇯🇵🍁
If you’re chasing the fiery reds and goats of Japanese maple season in Arashyama, here’s your perfect one-day route and a secret to beating the crowds. Don’t start your morning at the bamboo forest like everyone else. Instead, catch an early bus to Otagin Butsuji Temple where hundreds of most covered stone statues smile quietly beneath a canopy of autumn leaves. From there, walk down the scenic path toward Adashino Nbutsuji Temple. And don’t miss the bamboo line stairs at the back. They’re every bit as magical as the famous bamboo grove, just without the crowds. Continue down to Nissonian Temple, where maple trees frame sweeping views of Kyoto in full color. Then make your way to Joja Koji Temple, glowing in layers of red and orange. If you still have energy, end your day at Shinshiku Garden. Then grab a coffee by the Katsura River, watching the boats drift by under golden trees. That’s your Arashiyama Autumn day one. Stay tuned for day
