Bamboo Forest in heated Kyoto

35C or 97F weather hit Kyoto today.  It is the hottest day so far in this season.  We still managed to go to Arashiyama area where we stopped by Nonomiya Shrine (famous Shrine in Tale of Genji) and walked along Tenryu-ji temple to get to the top of the hill.

We could see very nice view from there and walked down to Oi River to walk across the famouse Togetsu Kyo Bridge and enter the Arashiyama Park.

We tried to go back to the center of the city by Hankyu Railways but we could end up going back to Arashiyama due to the train accident and detoured to Nishioji Shijo by Randen train.

It was a long hot day!
