Traveler Notes

Okochi Sanso was an interesting place to visit ... this old Japanese movie star basically picked a gorgeous site and built himself a zen sanctuary. You get a beautiful view of Kyoto city center too. Near the end of the garden route, don't miss this little calligraphy/meditation space called 妙音庵...many people missed it and we had the whole space to ourselves for a good 10 minutes to meditate and soak in the tranquillity.

It was a beautiful day in terms of weather and Arashiyama was truly worth a visit despite our bad luck of delayed cherry blossoms season. We could only imagine how much more beautiful this area would look like when cherry trees are in full blossom. Tenryuji is probably one of the prettiest parks, if not the prettiest, that we visited in Japan.

Took the Sagano Romantic train up Arashiyama and then journeyed down the Hozu river. The crew were especially funny and shared interesting anecdotes throughout the ride :)

The kimono illumination at Randen’s Arashiyama station is so gorgeous and breathtaking.
