The bamboo forest (Arashiyama, Kyoto)

Back in Kyoto once again. Today we came back to Kyoto, because we like it a lot here.
Since Joost had yet to see a bamboo forrest, we decided to go to Arashiyama for a good hike through the bamboo forrest on the Arashi mountain (yama translates as mountain).






It was a really nice and scenic walk that ended up in a gorge where, as it turned out, it was possible to go up the river with a type of house boat (not quite like the ones we have in The Netherlands). Another highlight of the trip for me, but I'm sure Joost will agree. Since "A picture is worth a thousand words" (and I don't really feel like typing a thousand words right now), I will let the pictures do the talking.
