A beautiful winter garden

Roads filled with flowers and light...This is the meaning of the term Hanatouro. The festival, which is held for ten days in December, plunges the Arashiyama district into a dreamlike atmosphere.

Illuminations sur le pont d'Arashiyama.

Exhibitions of ikebana, the art of Japanese flower arrangement, and numerous street concerts line the route. The melodies of the shakuhachi, the traditional bamboo flutes, accompany the footsteps of the visitors. The white light of the lanterns transfigures the bamboo forest into a soft green cathedral. Many stalls offer delicious foods to evening walkers. You can't resist mitarashi dango, those round rice cake skewers topped with sweet soy sauce when handed to you with a beaming smile!
