Part 2 of exploring Japan is HERE!
After inspiring Tokyo city life we decided to go to Kyoto and also to Arashiyama which is famous with its Bamboo Grove.
We are the type of people who find nature the most beautiful and impressive thing on earth, no skyscrapers can compare, that is why it was on our 'bucket list'.
Arriving from Tokyo to Kyoto took us about 2 hours by train. We really enjoyed the train (Shinkansen) rides, they are really fast, comfortable and with the highest level of service. So Kyoto us welcomed with a hot and sunny weather and it lighted us up. Then we took another train to go to the Bamboo Grove.
Battery life for the camera, phone, and GoPro - check! We are ready to explore!
Tenryu-ji Temple
Before exploring the Bamboo Grove, we enjoyed the garden which is similar to paradise, colors were very heartwarming and we didn’t want to leave this wonderful place. :)
They say the autumn is the best season for this garden, because of the colors in nature (green, red, yellow, orange) such a great combination :) So if you are planning to go to Arashiyama, you definitely need to see this place!
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
We have heard of this place a long time ago and always wanted to see this beauty in real life, so you can imagine how excited we were.
The tickets are bought and the historical moment has arrived...we are coming in! "WOW, Oh my God, I can't believe this", was the first reaction. Eyes fell in love with everything. We took a moment and looked up and there our hearts just melted away, seeing the sun playing with bamboo leaves and in that second we realized, that life is made of small moments like these.
Did you know that bamboo is able to grow as fast as 35 inches in a single day? Well, that's true!
After exploring the grove, we had a small bowl of powdered Green Matcha Tea with a nice view. Mmm, delicious!
Hope it was interesting to read!

Thank you very much, we appreciate it allot! It is amazing place indeed, but if you want to enjoy it in peace and quite, than you need to be there with the sunrise. Otherwise it's pretty crowed there.
Have a great too!

We totally advise you to go to Kyoto and see it for yourself. And if you will be lucky enough to visit it in the early morning, you will feel like in magical fairytale.
BTW, we really would like to visit Korea too.

I really love Japan for being one of the clean country in the world. Despite of the industrial progress Japan did maintain its natural beauty. If I am.given a chance to live and migrate in Japan I will go without a second

It's is a clean country indeed. You can barely see any trash outside, usually none. Definitely the cleanest country that we've been to so far. We really hope that one day you will get there. Despite everyone saying that Japan is expensive country, we can say the opposite.

Beautiful images of the bamboo forest it reminds me of that film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Asia has a beautiful culture & traditions which get passed from generation to generation.

Thanks for comment and you are absolutely right about their culture and traditions. Even in cities like Tokyo you may find an old temple in-between modern skyscrapers.
