Arashiyama

When it comes to viewing the autumn leaves and cherry blossoms in Kyoto, we have to mention Arashiyama! The "Togetsu Bridge" that spans Katsura River is the landmark building here. In addition, the bamboo forest tunnel in Sagano and the 100-meter-long bamboo forest trail make you feel like you are in a fairyland on Earth!  The Tsukuru Nonomiya Shrine is also hidden here. There is a "turtle stone" full of fairy spirits in the shrine. It is said that when you touch the stone and make a wish, it will come true within a year!

Kinkakuji Temple (World Cultural Heritage)

In the relic hall dedicated to Sakyamuni, the outer wall is covered with gold foil, and it shimmers in the sun, hence its name (Golden Hall Temple). In fact, the official name is Rokuonji (Deer Garden Temple). It is a Zen Temple of the Rinzai School The courtyard and buildings centered on the Golden Pavilion are regarded as the Pure Land of Bliss.

Nara Park

The ancient city of Nara is famous for the historic "Great Buddha of Nara". Among its many temples, Todai-ji Temple, a World Cultural Heritage site, is especially notable. Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Kofuku-ji Temple are also located here. It is a historical park that combines natural scenery and covers a vast area. In the Nara region, deer are regarded as messengers of the gods and are also recognized as national treasures. At present, there are about 1,200 wild deer in Nara Park. They usually walk freely in the park. When they see tourists with deer senbei in their hands, they even take the initiative to get close to them! They are very popular with tourists from all over the world!
