Kyoto Ramen Street, Nishiki Market and Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

If there's one place guaranteed to instil instant calm, it's the bamboo forest at Arashiyama in Kyoto. The dense forest of bamboo soars so far up it almost obscures your view of the sky. Each bamboo stalk can surge to a height of up to 35 metres high making even the tallest person feel small and awe-struck. Our next leg on our Japan trip would be Kyoto, a 3-hour shinkansen ride from Kanazawa
