Memories of Japan: Arashiyama

A very quick panorama taken from the bridge in Arashiyama during our visit there last October. I found the file as I was tidying up my Dropox!

It was such a lovely diversion from Kyoto – calm, green, warm and fantastic scenery. We wandered from one scenic spot to another and soaked up the atmosphere. We both have such lovely memories of our visit there, we’ll definitely be back some day.

Right now, we’re planning our return visit to Japan for later this year, but Kyoto is unlikely to feature. Tokyo for sure, but we’re also thinking about traveling to Kanazawa. So much easier to reach now that there’s a new Shinkansen line linking it to Tokyo.

If you’ve ever visited Kanazawa, I’d love to hear your thoughts and recommendations!
