go to a bamboo forest

I rode a bicycle through the bamboo forest on pathways in west Kyoto – Arashiyama – to see some of the temples there. It is so beautiful and easy to do. If you go to Kyoto, it’s on the west side of the city around two of the most famous temples – the Golden Pavilion – Kinkaku-ji and Ryoan-ji, with the Zen rock garden. You can ride the subway to get out there, then there’s a little bicycle rental place right outside the station.
