It rained throughout the night and the day, a part from a short break around 1600h, it was a wet one today.
We jumped on the train to Arashiyama district of Kyoto, known for its bamboo forests and the last operating tram line in the city.
First stop was the Yusai-Tei gallery. A traditional Japanese style house tucked away within a forest that had rooms that gave different perspectives of the surrounding woods using reflections off surfaces.
From there we visited the bamboo forest that was packed – it had been made popular on instagram. I still managed to get some pictures though.
After some Japanese curry we got the last operating tram in Kyoto back towards the market and shopping area.
We had a couple of drinks and a snack then made our way back to the hotel to dump our stuff and go to a nearby restaurant.
The rain had picked up and the restaurants were closed, not wanting to venture too far with the rain, we had a 7Eleven dinner and ate back at the hotel.
Hopefully the rain will stop tomorrow.
