Jay P's breadcrumb trail foray into Japan - It's culture, language, and everything else.
Kyoto - Arashiyama
Kyoto is culture capital of Japan. Even Japanese come here to learn their history. I've got a week here so I just check out one major area of the old capital each day. Nice and leisurely gotta love it. This time I went to Arashiyama, the area with a few temples & the beautiful bamboo groves.
