With our one day bus pass on hand, we were ready for our day in Kyoto.
Kinkaku-ji Temple
Map: 1 Kinkakujicho, Kita Ward, Kyoto, 603-8361, Japan
I was really excited about the Arashiyama bamboo forest, so we headed towards Arashiyama right after, but before that, it was lunch break!
Oku-no-niwa （奥の庭）

My dad by then was already quite tired out so he was hanging around the station while I rushed around with excitement, but...
Sometimes, things don't go quite as expected...
So turns out, I mistook the Bamboo Forest (on the map) for the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove... 😭
I suppose this is just a very small replica of the actual bamboo grove.. SOB
It was already late in the day, and the actual grove was quite a distance away from the station, so.. that's for exploration in the near future if I get to go back again. 😔
