Extreme Romance in Japan. The country of contrasts #2
Part 2 of exploring Japan is HERE!
After inspiring Tokyo city life we decided to go to Kyoto and also to Arashiyama which is famous with its Bamboo Grove.
We are the type of people who find nature the most beautiful and impressive thing on earth, no skyscrapers can compare, that is why it was on our 'bucket list'.
Arriving from Tokyo to Kyoto took us about 2 hours by train. We really enjoyed the train (Shinkansen) rides, they are really fast, comfortable and with the highest level of service. So Kyoto us welcomed with a hot and sunny weather and it lighted us up. Then we took another train to go to the Bamboo Grove.
Battery life for the camera, phone, and GoPro - check! We are ready to explore!
Tenryu-ji Temple
Before exploring the Bamboo Grove, we enjoyed the garden which is similar to paradise, colors were very heartwarming and we didn’t want to leave this wonderful place. :)
They say the autumn is the best season for this garden, because of the colors in nature (green, red, yellow, orange) such a great combination :) So if you are planning to go to Arashiyama, you definitely need to see this place!
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
We have heard of this place a long time ago and always wanted to see this beauty in real life, so you can imagine how excited we were.
The tickets are bought and the historical moment has arrived...we are coming in! "WOW, Oh my God, I can't believe this", was the first reaction. Eyes fell in love with everything. We took a moment and looked up and there our hearts just melted away, seeing the sun playing with bamboo leaves and in that second we realized, that life is made of small moments like these.
Did you know that bamboo is able to grow as fast as 35 inches in a single day? Well, that's true!
After exploring the grove, we had a small bowl of powdered Green Matcha Tea with a nice view. Mmm, delicious!
Hope it was interesting to read!
