Mid-morning we caught a local train from Kyoto station - great roof - to the Saga and Arashiyama areas.
We walked through centuries-old lanes, then continued through amazing bamboo groves (passing an elderly Japanese man dressed for war) to the beautiful Okochi-sanso Villa Garden and the Tenryu-ji Temple.
We then continued walking to the Togetsu-kyo Bridge, passing some girls in tradtional dress, then onto the quaint Arashiyama station, with a relieving foot spa and the Pond for Dragon.
After a local lunch, we caught another local train, then subway to the amazing Teramachi-dori Street and Nishiki-Ichiba Market.
We returned to our hotel, first for Bill to go to the hotel's public bath in an undersized jinbei, followed by dinner.
