Eating Through Kyoto and Arashiyama in 2 Days | Golden Route Episode 3

For our second two days in Kyoto, we attempted the ambitious sunrise at Yasaka Pagoda and the lesser-known Sanjusangendo Temple, and eating tons of food. Before taking the train to Tokyo, we managed to squeeze in a very early morning at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest with the walk out to Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple and Adashino Nenbutsuji which are totally worth it.

This is Part 3 of 5 from our 10 day Japan itinerary that follows a modern version of the Golden Route.
