Japanese Garden

Arashiyama has a LOT more than a bamboo grove [Japan 2022]



So many firsts in this vlog! First bamboo grove, Japanese gardens, matcha tea, boxed lunches! We start SUPER early because we heard the Arashiyama bamboo grove gets really crowded, but maybe we arrived TOO early.

We also visit the town of Arashiyama itself, enjoy views from the bridge, and eat some delicious lunch before heading to Sogochi Garden, which is beautiful! From there, we take a little talked about entrance that drops us into maybe the most famous section of the bamboo grove. After that, we visit the Okochi Sanso Villa and Gardens – which again are beautiful! While there, we try matcha tea for the first time (it’s included in the cost of admission!). After the tea, we take the Sagano Romantic train, which follows a river through a valley and the scenery is stunning!

  2. 朝から癒されました😊
    共有してくれてありがとう🍁

    抹茶についていたお菓子は
    たぶん「落雁(rakugan)」かな?
    もち米の粉をはじめとする穀粉(こくふん)と砂糖、水飴で作られた和菓子です。

    もし餡子(sweet bean)が好きならば、上生菓子(jounamagasi)も美味しいですよ。お茶や抹茶とよく合います🍵

  3. My biggest regret is not visiting the memorial to Zhou Enlai in Arashiyama. I went to London Books and bought a book bag but it is not the same thing …

  4. 朝早くの嵐山は静かですね。
    素晴らしい映像ありがとうございます。日本を楽しんでくださいね!
    次の動画も楽しみにしています。

  5. 抹茶と一緒に提供された菓子は落雁(らくがん)と一般的に言われているものです。日持ちのする和菓子ですよ。
    良い旅を。

  6. トーマスエジソンが白熱電球を点灯させたのも数千種類の素材を試した結果、たどり着いたのが京都の竹だった

  7. ” 嵐 山 ”👍👍 ”あ・ら・し・や・ま” " A・RA・SHI・YA・MA " Please once more slowly🤣🤣
    Matcha is good for health!! I recommend that you drink matcha. I drink 1liter of home made matcha every day. So I don't get sick. I'm healthy and I have plenty of time . But I have no money🤣🤣

  8. お二人の旅する笑顔がとても素敵です😊
    次回は冬の厳かな京都をぜひ楽しんで頂きたいですね🍀

  9. ⭐⭐ ❤ I am watching your video from India. I love your videos. I hope that you will also visit India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🥰 soon. There are many places in India which are full of natural beauty.India is known in the world for its hospitality. 🙏😍

  10. You should also try matcha ice cream or latte! There's a good dessert chain called Nana's Green Tea where you could get it and other stuff. It's a lot of caffeine tho. Also if you happen to encounter it in Kyoto, you should try the baked sweet potatoes. People usually sell them on the street or you'll hear a cart shouting "yaaaakimoooo"

  11. Welcome to Japan.
    My home is a temple, so I am happy to introduce you to traditional Japanese buildings and places.
    Thank you for coming to Kyoto, where I live.
