Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Togetsukyo bridge (or Moon Crossing Bridge) in Arashiyama- I did not walk to the other side as the attractions on the other side would be similar to what I see on this side, barring a monkey park on the top of a mountain which would have meant more strenuous climbing, which I was not inclined to do- I had seen a similar monkey park in some detail in Bali, Indonesia anyway. The Togetsu-kyo Bridge has been a landmark in Western Kyoto's Arashiyama District for over four hundred years. The wooden bridge spans the Katsura River in front of Arashiyama Mountain, offering incredible views. The spring cherry blossoms and fall colors draws large crowds, as the scenery is spectacular. The bridge has often been used in historical films. It is also a popular place for feeding koi (carp) which live in the river, or watching cormorant fishing in the late summer. It is also the site of an important initiation for local children. Young boys and girls (the latter clad in kimono) first receive a blessing from a local temple and then make their way across the bridge under orders to do so without looking back. If one ignores this instruction, it is said to bring bad luck. (Kyoto, Japan, Apr/ May 2019) |
