TBBAT – The beautiful and amazing Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and surrounding areas – Kyoto Japan
All right. So, it’s 600 yen a person. So, it’s 1,200 total. And with that, you get to go to the forest, the museum, and wander around. So, we will we will see. Hopefully, it’s easily marked so we can find a way around. Oh, wow. And hopefully it doesn’t rain very much because you can feel it starting again. The wind is picking up too. So this is the bamboo forest over there. Look at that. Wow. I think we go around it and then through it. We might be fortunate in that there’s doesn’t look like it’s overly crowded. We’ll see when we get to the bamboo forest part. You want to go in there or up there? The forest is up there. This is so Beautiful. Nice and peaceful. An exact contrast to where we’re staying in Kyoto. Let’s get Ouch. Ouch. All right, get ready for the bamboo. Wow, there it is. Look at that. Wow, it’s very peaceful and beautiful even with the people around here. Yeah, I really feel we got lucky and uh the rain might have held off some people because it’s not too bad here at all. Definitely worth coming to. What do you think you like? Yeah. Very pretty. Think about bamboo. They plan to make um no spoon. What we call that eat not Oh yeah. Um the chopsticks. Yeah. Chopsticks. And don’t have uh it’s easy to wear. Yeah. You can actually hear this. Oh, you’re looking at me. That’s not good. All right. Ready? You hear how hollow it is inside? Oh, beautiful. So, that was it. The only other part was a there’s a temple you could go into, but um we decided not to. And also, you can take videos in there anyway. So, oh, check this out. Look at this. How cool is that? Wow. Yeah. So, live from the bamboo forest, we’re going to wander around Kyoto a little bit more. This area is very nice and see what we can see. Um, there’s a lot of temples and shrines and stuff like that, too. We’ll probably check out. But again, they usually don’t allow video inside. So, maybe we’ll just check out the area. But once again, 100% definitely worth it for $600 a person, even though it’s uh just walking around for stuff. Worth it. Yeah. All right. We’ll see you guys in a little bit. Sorry. It’s a nice area, huh? Pretty. So, outside the bamboo forest area, there are a bunch of temples, but there’s also like all kinds of pathways and structures and streets and just beautiful scenery. So, I mean, you can’t miss it. It’s part of the whole thing. So, when you’re done, 100% walk around and check out some of the sites because again, you’re you’re going to you’re going to see them on the way out anyway. But it’s just so beautiful and so peaceful here. Um especially, you know, if you’re staying in Kyoto with the hustle and bustle of the city, it’s just such a beautiful contrast. And I don’t care if I repeat myself a thousand times that. It’s just, you know, this is why you’re coming to Kyoto is is to see this stuff. So get it while you’re here. Of course, with all attractions, there’s all kinds of food vendors and everything, but it comes with the territory. Oh, tree. Oh, he’s feeding the fish with bread. Smart. He’s trying to hit him. And then now it’s a hunting dog. Hi. So, I believe Now, I don’t know if it’s supposed to look like This I imagine they take care of the area and it probably it is some kind of a weird yellow algae. That makes for an interesting picture. Look at this. Whoa. We’re going to leave the area, but on the way out, there’s a giant shrine. Oh my god, the scale of it is just Sure, why not? More stairs. Yay. We go up. Yeah. Okay. The journey of a thousand stairs always starts with, “Oh, 1,000 stairs. If I don’t make it, it’s her fault. That’s all I’m saying. This wasn’t so bad. Oh, to get to the same place we were just at. We were just here. We were just here. Maybe we learned got way turned around. Thank
