ARASHIYAMA KOEN (PARK) - PART TWO

[CONTINUATION OF PART ONE]

Here are some interesting facts gathered from the internet about Arashiyama Koen:

(1) This place is one of the most popular spots for cherry blossoms/sakura viewing in Spring.

(2) Arashiyama Koen also offers spectacular view during Autumn when all the leaves turn red.

I could not find much information about this park actually as it focuses on the picturesque scenery most of the time. :)

There are other tourist attractions in Arashiyama but we had only till afternoon to stay there. I guess I would need to stay longer when I visit Kyoto next time.

ARASHIYAMA KOEN (PARK) - PART ONE

20th March 2017 ~ The exit connected the Arasghiyama Bamboo Groove to Arashiyama Koen. First we saw trees without leaves but the weather was pleasant so we could still sit under one and ate our food comfortably.

Then there was this one section which was filled with Sakura (cherry blossom) trees with their budding flowers in early spring. Just imagine how this place would turn out when all the flowers were in full bloom.

There were actually other foreigners/tourists busy taking photographs at this area too.

After that we were led to this walkway along a river. Surprisingly there not many people at this area, if compared to the Bamboo Groove.
