Go to Kyoto Part 2
Took early morning train from Kyoto station to Saga Arashiyama station.
 |
| JR Saga Arashiyama station |
Before we left the station for the nearby bamboo groves, we walked to the Scenic train ticketing counter (located in the building next to the JR Saga Arashiyama station) to purchase our Scenic train tickets for the departure that's 1hr later. That should give us enough time to walk to Bamboo groves and walk back here to board the train.
