Day 4 - Japan Trip 2008 - Arashiyama (1)

Arrived at Arashiyama, 岚山 around 9.30 am, this is one of my most memorable places, nice and lovely scenery.

Arashiyama (嵐山) is a district on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It also refers to the mountain across the Hozu (保津川) River, which forms a backdrop to the district.

The Hozu River (保津川 Hozugawa) is a part of Katsura River in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The river begins in the mountains near Kameoka, a town northwest of Kyoto City. It snakes into the Arashiyama section of western Kyoto before changing its name to Kastura River
