Day 18 - Arashiyama & Rokuonji Temple and The Golden Pavilion (May 1st)

 This morning we caught a train and tram to Arashiyama where the famous bamboo forest is located, enjoying the beautiful scenery near the mountains and nearby river.









Then we caught a bus to northern Kyoto to visit the Rokunji Temple and The Golden Pavilion.  This week is the start of "Golden Week" in Japan where the last three days of the work week are public holidays so many take the whole week off work, meaning there are plenty of people visiting all these amazing sites.


We spent the evening exploring more of the shopping arcades in the area, Kyoto has a great vibe to it and plenty of interesting areas to explore.
