Also located in Arashiyama is the famous Bamboo Grove. A delightful activity in Kyoto is a walking tour of Gion, one of the main Geisha districts, where wooden buildings and lanterns create the perfect ambiance. Kyoto is one of the world's greatest historical cities, filled with temples, shrines, teahouses, and imperial residences.
