Katsuo-ji Temple and Miyama Town's Heison Village are both relatively difficult places to get to, so I chose to join a day tour to visit two places I hadn't been to before in one go. Katsuo-ji Temple is beautiful, and walking around to collect stamps took just the right amount of time. It was snowing when I arrived at Miyama Town's Heison Village, and the scenery was very beautiful. By the time I got to Arashiyama, it was already 2 o'clock, and I had two hours to eat lunch and sightsee, which was enough to walk to the bamboo forest.
