He looked up the bridge and felt that the moon seemed to be crossing the bridge as his boat was moving forward. After that this bridge has been called the moon crossing bridge, Togetsukyo.

3. The "Bamboo Grove" in Arashiyama is one place to make sure you visit when travelling in Kyoto. The grove starts in Arashiyama, goes through the north side of the heritage-listed temple Tenryū-ji and continues on to Nonomiya Shrine. The bamboo grove is a recommended Kyoto tourist site - just walking along the path is a great experience.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, meer dan duizend jaar de keizerlijke hoofdstad van Japan, is een stad van tempels, tuinen, houten stadshuizen en verfijnde tradities.

De stad herbergt veel van de meest gekoesterde plekken van Japan. Duizenden vermiljoenrode torii-poorten van Fushimi Inari Taisha klimmen een beboste berg op, het Gouden Paviljoen van Kinkaku-ji schittert boven zijn vijver, en het houten podium van Kiyomizu-dera steekt uit de heuvel boven de stad. De rotstuin van Ryoan-ji en het met mos begroeide terrein van Ginkaku-ji nodigen uit tot stille overpeinzing.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
