What to do while in Kyoto
A truly amazing sight to see in this area is Arashiyama that is just a short drive to the western side of town. This is a bamboo forest that contains several different monkey species. Another popular destination that is just a short drive to the north is Nijō Castle, which is not only an incredible structure to visit but the abundant cherry blossom trees that surround the castle are a sight to behold on their own when they’re in bloom.
