• ✨We will go to 3 attractions today, pass through the Thousand Daruma Fuzhen of Katsuoji Temple, stroll through the moss Thousand Buddha Forest of Atago Nenbutsu Temple, immerse in the thousand-year elegance of Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and Togetsukyo Bridge, and tour the secrets of Kansai in one day. The fulfilling itinerary starts now! ✨
• First stop: Katsuoji Temple "Temple of Shoyun" is famous in Japan for its thousands of bright red Daruma statues. The Daruma statues all over the mountains are either standing on mossy rocks or hiding in maple forests. The autumn red leaves and the vermilion Daruma are interwoven into a shocking visual picture. In the "Darma Hall", there hangs a giant Daruma for believers to fulfill their vows. The "Daruma Waterfall" is hidden in the back mountain of the temple, and the trails along the way are full of miniature Daruma, as if stepping into the world of elves.
• Second stop: Atago Nenbutsu Temple Moss Buddha Kingdom, the temple has 1,200 stone Jizo statues with different expressions, standing quietly in the century-old cedar and moss forest, with moss covering the body and tree roots entwined, forming an ethereal and mysterious "Jizo Forest". Each Jizo has a unique look, like a Buddhist version of the "Easter Island Stone Statue".
• Third stop: Arashiyama The elegant stage of the dynasty and aristocracy, a world-class cultural landscape. With the Hozu River Gorge as the center, it integrates the secrets of the bamboo forest, the thousand-year-old temple, the geisha culture and the natural wonders, and is dotted with spring cherry blossoms and autumn maples. It can be called a "Japanese aesthetics textbook". Tenryuji Temple-Caoyuan Pond Courtyard uses Arashiyama as a canvas to present the pinnacle of Zen "borrowed scenery garden". Bamboo Forest Path—The 500-meter bamboo path is so tall that it blocks out the sun, and the wind blows like the sound of nature. It was once rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Paths in the World". Togetsukyo Bridge—The wooden red bridge spans the Hozu River. Its name comes from Emperor Kameyama's poem "Togetsukyo Bridge". It has become a ukiyoe painting in all four seasons.
