Darin and I headed straight to Arashiyama as soon as we got
in Kyoto. I had read that the bamboo
grove can be pretty tricky to find. We
roamed and roamed, but couldn’t find it.
Then, we found a man that pulled a rickshaw that said he would give us a
ride there (for a price I still cannot believe we paid—but also so worth
it). I felt like we were
celebrities. Everyone kept taking our
picture as we rode past. The streets
were super crazy busy, but he just yelled in Japanese and everyone moved out of
our way.
We left the busy streets and headed down a little ally way
that was far less crowded. At the end of the ally, it led RIGHT to the bamboo
grove! Obviously no one else could find
it either because there was NO ONE in there! It was crazy, and so beautiful!!
We rode the Shinkansen from Nagoya down to Kyoto and the views were beautiful! It looked so mystical and beautiful!!
