Perhaps the best day we had in Japan was the day we road the train to Arashiyama. Near the station we rented bikes and then spent the day exploring north-eastern Kyoto on bicycles. I’ll show you some more pictures from this part of town and Sagano in future entries.
The above photograph is what things looked like during the first week of April. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Unfortunately, we had overcast skies so the picture isn’t that spectacular. The sakura tree was so large that I couldn’t get it all in the frame. Notice the posts that hold up the tree.
