Latest Arashiyama model itinerary for 2025:Bamboo forest, Moss carpet , Kimono Forest , Monkey Park
Today’s tour is Arashiyama! Let’s go! We will introduce you to the beautiful bamboo forest of Arashiyama, Arashiyama Monkey Park where you can experience feeding the monkeys, Togetsukyo Bridge, Sagano Torocco, and Kimono Forest. There are 3,000 bamboo trees growing along a 400-meter path. It was relatively quiet before 8:00 a.m., but the number of people increased after 8:00 a.m. This shrine has a moss garden. Japanese gardens are characterized by their imitation of natural scenery. A fresh carpet of moss in the garden represents the scenery of Arashiyama, with the white sand representing the Katsura River and the small bridge above it representing Togetsukyo Bridge. Every October, this shrine holds a historic parade to the Togetsukyo Bridge. More details in the description, so don’t forget to like and subscribe! Kimono Forest, located near Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Station, is a traditional Kyoto dyed textile that is one of Japan’s three major Yuzen styles, characterized by gorgeous designs using gold and silver threads. The illuminated poles are very beautiful. We arrived at Togetsukyo Bridge. The Katsura River is swollen due to yesterday’s heavy rain. This bridge is used in a famous traditional event in Kyoto. A 13-year-old child must perform a ritual called Jusan Mairi at Horin-ji Temple and cross the Togetsukyo Bridge without looking back. Today’s tour has been cancelled due to bad weather, but you can still charter a private sightseeing boat from here. The plums are falling. During this season, Japanese people have a tradition of making umeboshi (pickled plums) and umeshu (plum wine) at home. Arashiyama Monkey Park is located at the top of the mountain, about a 20-minute climb through the torii gate. If you eat food while hiking, you may be attacked by monkeys, so never eat anything. I once had a monkey attack me through the gap in the window while eating snacks in my car at another monkey mountain. To enjoy sightseeing safely, there are rules such as not making eye contact with the monkeys and not crouching down to take pictures at the monkeys’ point of view. The monkeys take turns drinking water. In this hut, humans can enter the cage and feed the monkeys. One bag costs 100 yen. I was able to choose between peanuts and apples. Oh, the baby monkey is making noise. I chose apples. Feed the baby monkeys. It is said that it is a good idea to put the food on the table so that the monkeys don’t scratch your hands. The monkey eating the apple is very cute. What thin and small fingers! Ah, I touched the monkey’s paw. It was squishy and soft and felt really nice. The experienced monkeys hold out their hands, palms up, waiting for food, just like humans. It’s a fight over food. The baby monkey bite the bigger monkeys to win his turn to get food. How adorable is it to see a baby monkey sitting on a chair ? Monkeys don’t just fight. The sight of them grooming each other together is heartwarming. How many tourist attractions, such as Kyoto Tower and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, can you spot from this spectacular view? I found Kyoto Tower. Taking photos of the banana chair and the spectacular view is popular. This monkey is using pebbles to clean the dirt off his paws. A fierce three-way battle begins. So, who will win? This monkey scratches himself to make it look like he’s having an easy time. Don’t miss this exciting moment! They hang from the air by their feet and throw punches. That’s some awesome stuff! It will be a ground battle. They seem tired of fighting. Haha, After the fight, it’s binge eating. After all that laughing and hung out we’re hungry, so we walk through the streets lined with souvenir shops to get lunch. Hydrangeas are beautiful in Japan in June. Those who want to experience a boat ride down the Hozu River, famous for its rapids, board a trolley train from this station to the boat dock. Car No. 5 , the ” Rich Car ” ,has no windows, so you can enjoy the spectacular view while feeling the breeze. The key chains are made from real candy coated with a marble pattern. There are several types of local Kyoto sake available. This is a Miffy store that is popular among women. It sells miscellaneous goods and bread. Lots of Miffy bread so cute you’ll want to make a fuss This restaurant is famous for its flaming “lava burger.” ” Sorry, I said the same thing twice. ” I ordered the simple cheeseburger plate, which came with mizuna, tomato, bacon, cheddar cheese, and minced beef. The warm, home-style hamburger steak and rich, Italian cheese are irresistible. I hope many good things happen to you today.See you on the next trip.

thanks! Smart idea feeding the monkeys at one location with a fence only to be safe for all animals. The view from the top was very nice and the bunny bread…I want to try. thumbsup
