In the cool air of the early morning in late autumn. Can you find the beauty of the natural garden and how you should be? It's not bad to look for something 'lovely', but let's stretch your back at a simple place once in a while.◎A famous picture of Daruma and a ceiling picture of Dragon are also interesting. Visiting in early morning, you can see them without congestion.

I could take pictures of Japanese traditional outfits kimono and bamboo grove without the crowd. Here's the best place in Arashiyama, to take pictures with beautiful bamboo grove. ◎You will need to walk for a long distance from all stations, Araden, Hankyu and JR, so it's better to use taxi.
