| Maple Leaves on Bamboo |
Today, we decided to go to Arashiyama, which is about an hour and a half northeast of us, just outside of Kyoto. The kids and I went in late May last year, but we knew we wanted to head back in fall with John to see the leaves. It's a great place to visit, it has a good amount of things for the kids to do, that also interest us.
We went to the Bamboo Garden, the Monkey Park and John and Maximo took a canoe up the river. It was a nice fall day, but we wish it was a bit cooler. Arashiyama was packed with people (but not too bad by Japanese standards). There was a huge parade snaking through town too which jammed the roads a bit. In a few weeks, when all the Japanese maple trees turn red, it'll be even busier!
