October Picture of the Month



October's photo shows Arashiyama, in the western part of Kyoto. It is famous for its shrines and temples,
connections with poets and bamboo woods. Normally crowded, particularly in the spring cherry blossom
and autumn maple leaf seasons, it has been much less crowded, with a huge drop in tourists from overseas
and less domestic travel until recently due to Covid-19 (corona). Evenings are always quieter anyway and it
was particularly quiet on this early evening at the beginning of September.
