The bamboo grove path in Arashiyama 嵐山

North of the central area, there are bamboo groves and a residential district with several small temples, scattered along the base of the wooded mountains. The area with its rural feel is best explored on foot, by rental bicycle (around 700 Yen per day) or on a rickshaw (around 8000 Yen for 30 minutes and 2 persons). http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3912.html http://www.gayot.com /travel/citytrips/kyoto/day2.html http ://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/ Japan/Kyoto_fu/Kyoto-973793/Things_To_ Do-Kyoto-Arashiyama-BR-1.html
