Visit One of The Greatest Touristy Places
We took photos and talked about gold foil in front of the reliquary hall of Kinkakuji Temple. After that we also talked about carp pennant seeing a fall.
Move to Arashiyama by The Local Trains
We got on the train of Kyohuku Railway. We saw the landscapes through the windows from the local railway. It was as if we glanced at the daily life of Japan.
Bamboo Forest; Main Purpose of The Trip
We went to the alley in the bamboo forest in Arashiyama. It was the most important purpose. The guests were attracted the view and said "full of bamboos and the sky seen through them were beautiful!"
Feel Japan from Shrine in Bamboo Forest
We went to Nonomiya Shrine in the bamboo forest. Its Trii (shrine's gateway) has a really rare shape and there is Chinowa (cogon grass ring) as it was Summer. We could take great photos with those!

I was impressed that one of the guests told me about Zen in detail when we were in Ryoanji Temple. I had fun with discussion over Zen.
Guest
I suggested the plan to let the guests experience a travel you can get to know a general daily life from. I think Ryoanji Temple is the best place to feel Zen the Kyoto people have. The guests were pleased to visit there.
