Arashiyama. Fantastic. But go early, by noon it’s swarming with people.

I had heard that it was spectacularly beautiful in the fall, so I got up early and made it there by about 8am.

I then went to Tenryu-ji, an UNESCO site because of its garden. It’s quite obvious why if you visit. My pictures don’t do it justice.

I walked around the area as well, snapping a few photos as I went along.

When my family visited in the spring, I didn’t hesitate to take them to this beautiful place. And as is pointed out, visiting the same place in a different season, brings a whole new breath-taking view.
