Arashiyama (a traditional part of Kyoto)

On the 16/04/2006 Aunty Noriko took us to Arashiyama a part of Kyoto in the outer suburbs which still looks very traditional. The main purpose of the visit was to go a famous restaurant which has been in the same family for 70 generations!

While we were there we also spend some time taking in the traditional scenery and visiting Tenryu-ji (A Zen Temple).
