Started our full day exploring Kyoto by visiting, all with JR Pass:
- Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
- Fushimi Inari Shrine
- Nara Deer Park
 |
| View from Kyoto Station |
We decided to do the journey in reverse direction, first taking the JR train from Kyoto station to JR Umahori station (which is covered with JR Rail Pass), and from there a short 5 minutes walk to Kameoka Torokko station..

| "Romantic Train".. how is it romantic? |
 |
| Finally reach the Bamboo Forest |
Moving on to Fushimi Inari with JR train to JR Inari station, again, it's covered with JR Rail Pass.. Back here after 2 years..
 |
| This is called pattern duo duo - act one kind |
If you have hiked up far enough, the view gets bizarrely amazing.
In after that, we continue on with JR train to Nara, settled down for some dessert to cool the hot day off.
