What We Loved

I visited the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest expecting only to see the famous bamboo grove, but I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of the entire area. The town itself is full of delightful stores, many featuring handmade products crafted by locals, and delicious food stands with unique flavours. The trek to Monkey Park was unforgettable, winding through lush, green forests that were simply breathtaking. An incredible experience all around!

What Could Be Better

The only downside is the crowds
