Arashiyama

Arashiyama lies on the western edge of Kyoto along the Hozu River.  Like Uji and really so much of Kyoto, it is an incredible natural escape just 20 minutes from the city center.  I suppose it is like the Catskills or the San Gabriel Mountains if you could reach them by train and be back for dinner the same day.
