Where to go in Kyoto? | To-ji Temple + Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 🌿 | Japan Travel 2025 🇯🇵

A soft and peaceful day in Kyoto 🤍 Join us as we visit To-ji Temple and walk through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 🌿

Welcome back besties 🤍 Today we’re visiting two of the most peaceful and beautiful spots in Kyoto. We started our morning at To-ji Temple, taking in the quiet surroundings and the iconic five-storied pagoda. There was something so grounding about being there — a moment to slow down, breathe, and just thank Papa God for calm days like this.

Then we headed to Arashiyama to wander through the Bamboo Forest 🌿 Before entering the grove, we stopped for a few little street food bites — just simple, happy moments that made the day feel extra warm and cozy. I hope this vlog brings you that same gentle, peaceful feeling too 🫶

📍 Places in this vlog:
• To-ji Temple (東寺)
• Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
• Street food stop near the Bamboo Forest 🍡
