Arashiama District in Kyoto


The day before we left Kyoto, we walked through the Arashiama District. It was extremely beautiful. The trees, the water, the mountains. All of it had us ooo-ing and awe-ing every thirty seconds.












We made our way over to Iwatayama Monkey Park. We had to take a little hike to make it to the park, but we all agreed that it was well worth it.


This sign cracks me up. I miss all the English translations fails!

Once we got a little higher up the mountain, the monkeys started coming out left and right. It was a little freaky at first.





And oh the view!!
My little world travelers.
















After the monkeys, we played on the slide for a while and made our way to the Arashiama Bamboo Grove. It was getting dark, so the pictures are kind of poor quality, but you get the idea. Apparently this bamboo forest is one of the top tourist sites in Kyoto, and for good reason. It was amazing! I love the United States and the comfort of being home, but looking back on these pictures makes me miss the adventure.
