Bamboo grove
Originally uploaded by kdt

Arashiyama is a beautiful location, with a number of temples, shrines, and bamboo groves.

As well as the other 100 plus tourists… the main street really is like harndorf. Lots of shops with food, or trickets of some description.

After our walk around the town and the groves, we had a great lunch in a department store at another end of the tram line. The meal was really good… octopus balls in a soup that was continually being cooked. Yummo.
