▲Kifune Shrine is an ancient shrine located in a quaint village in the mountains north of Kyoto. It is the head shrine of Kifune Shrine and the origin of Ema. Kifune Shrine is divided into three areas: the main shrine, the association, and the inner shrine. The stone steps leading to the main shrine are lined with red night lights on both sides, which is a famous photo spot in the shrine. ▲The Arashiyama area consists of two areas, Arashiyama and Sagano. This area is not only rich in cultural attractions, but also has natural scenery that changes with the seasons and retro trains. There are many ancient temples and shrines here. Tenryuji Temple is a world heritage-level monument. There is a famous bamboo forest trail between Nonomiya Shrine and Okochi Sanso. As a holy place for cherry blossoms and maple leaves, Arashiyama attracts a large number of tourists every spring and autumn. Tickets for the Sagano train are often hard to come by, while it is very quiet in winter and summer, suitable for travelers who like quietness. There are many old Food and Beverages, Japanese confectionery shops and cute grocery stores in the Arashiyama area. You can also rent kimonos and rickshaws. It is a very suitable place to slow down. ▲If you want to experience the Arashiyama train, it is recommended to purchase the following corresponding departure time in advance departure time(Round-trip): departure 15:02/return 15:30 ▲The Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama. The bamboo forest trail is about 500 meters long. You can walk through Nonomiya Shrine to Okochi Sanso to reach the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Walking through the bamboo forest, you can hear the natural sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves. This sound has also been rated as one of the 100 sounds worth preserving in Japan. This is also where Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The Tenryuji Temple in the trail has a very wonderful Japanese garden scenery. ▲Tenryuji Temple was built in 1339. It was once a large-scale temple complex consisting of more than 100 sub-gardens. Today, only part of the structure remains. The garden here is one of the best examples of traditional Japanese garden design and is also a major reason for attracting tourists. ▲ Sanzen-in Temple is located in Ohara, Rakuhoku, Kyoto, and is one of the three temples of the Tendai sect. The vast temple grounds of Sanzen-in Temple are full of towering ancient trees, moss everywhere, and gurgling streams. The cherry blossoms in April, azaleas in May, hydrangeas in July, and red leaves in autumn make the natural scenery pleasing to the eye all year round. The two pond-style gardens designed by Kanamori Sokazu - "Jubi-en" and "Yusei-en" - can enjoy the scenery of Sanzen-in Temple in all four seasons. The main wooden statue of Amitabha Nyorai and the statues on both sides of the temple are important cultural properties.
