While based in Kyoto, I took a couple of excursions. The first was to the whispering bamboo forest of Arashiyama. The second was to the Fushimi Inari shrine, with its pathways lined by vermilion torii gates. The final was out to the countryside village of Miyama, with its traditional thatched roof homes. (Location for Miyama village is Kayabuki-no-Sato)
