The magical Bamboo Groove of Saga-Arashiyama

I was so lucky that there was this special winter campaign for Saga-Arashiyama - for the period in which i was travelling in kyoto, a significant portion of Saga-Arashiyama would be illuminated during the nightfall. now most people go to Saga-Arashiyama - which is just a little out of kyoto by JR train - for the famous temples and of course the famed bamboo grove which is supposedly a dead ringer for the one in crouching tiger hidden dragon...

The bamboo grove became resplendid with sheer BRILLIANCE of colours..
