The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"For a relaxing break in Kyoto, I head to Arashiyama where dense, towering bamboo stands envelop you near Tenryu-ji temple; it’s not that big but has hidden areas to explore and fills up fast after sunrise so arrive early if you want it without the crowds." - Matthew Kepnes
