Arashiyama Day!

Over 30 minutes city bus ride took us to Daikakuji temple at the northwest corner of the city (Kimon: Damon Gate).  At the temple we did Shakyo (Copying the one of the Sutra, Han'nyashingyo) Calligraphy and walked around Osawa Pond garden where cherry blossoms were beautifully blooming)

After having a lunch in the Arashiyama Station area, we walked through Bamboo trail whiule over looking Nonomiya Shrine and Tenryuji temple.  From the top of the mountain, we could view the cherry blossoms in the mountain across the river.

Cherry blossoms in the Arashiyama Park in the Oi river bank were also in full bloom!

Two more days!
