Arashiyama (means storm mountain) with its striking mountains, ancient temples / shrines and UNESCO world heritage sites is a perennial attraction for visitors to Japan. It is located in the western part of the Kyoto city; it takes about 45 minutes by train from Osaka downtown area (Hankyu line). Enlightenment for the day hikers can be found throughout the year. Several locations on the route offer a scenic view of the temples and gardens throughout the bamboo-woods. Among many other attractions, Tenry-ji Temple is a must see. The famous bamboo grove, which starts just the outside the north gate of Tenry-ji Temple, is undoubtedly one of the must-do experiences to be had in Japan.
