Traveler Notes
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.
