⛩️ Kyoto · Fri, Apr 17
West side in the morning (bamboo forest), south side in the evening (thousand torii gates). Two of Kyoto’s most iconic sites in one day.
Get here EARLY — by 10 AM it’s packed. The towering bamboo creates a cathedral-like canopy. Walk to the top for views.
The surrounding area has the Togetsukyo Bridge, monkey park, and riverside cafes. Good for a slow morning with the group.
Plenty of soba and udon spots. Take your time — this is a chill afternoon.
Head back to hotel for a break. Recharge before the evening.
BOOKED. Confirmation # SZEQVH. 3 people, table seating. Booked under Asif Chowdhury.
The famous thousand red torii gates. Going late afternoon/sunset means fewer crowds and magical light through the gates. The full hike is 2–3 hours, but the first 30 min gives you the best photos. Open 24 hours.
Fushimi Inari is near Kyoto Station, so grab dinner in that area before heading back.
