Second day in Kyoto! Today we cuddle with monkeys at Arashiyama monkey park. It’s quite a hike to the top of the hill but it’s absolutely worth it. First, you get an amazing view of Kyoto. Second, you get to meet these cute little guys. Running everywhere, hiding in the trees, lazying in the sun… they’re just fascinating.
We then go back down the hill and make our way through the bamboo forest. Really beautiful place.
We keep walking around West Kyoto and visit the Kinkaku-ji Buddhist temple, aka Gold temple. We make it just before closing time at the end of the day, which is just perfect because the template shines like a diamond as the sun sets.
We travel to East Kyoto and get lost again in the narrow back streets of Gion, where we end up having dinner in the park. Warm spring night sitting in the park and enjoying delicious foods ♥
