Lunch at a local restaurant. We will continue to the Golden Temple of Kinkaku-ji, whose golden tones are reflected on the waters of a pond, surrounded by exquisite vegetation, and the Tenryu-ji Temple, the first of Kyoto's five great Zen temples, which burned down several times and was rebuilt using traditional techniques. We will enjoy a walk through the Arashiyama bamboo forest, where a lit path will lead us among towering bamboo, and we will focus not only on the incredible scenery but also on the sounds of the forest, as the wind sways the bamboo in a mantra that invites meditation.
