Kyoto Winter Special 2008
Come next year, is another beautiful Winter Festival organized by Kyoto that runs from Dec 2007 to March 2008. Array of activities from New Year events to Setsubun’s can be expected providing of you know the dates. Japan-Guide has put together a calender of events for your references and one of their activities look extremely pleasant to me: Arashiyama Hanatoro. :)
Arashiyama is a district off Kyoto - not exactly very far away - and during this festival, the streets are lighted up with beautiful lanterns. It is a sight to behold. And probably a good idea to bring your gf/bf for a little romantic walk while enjoying the festivities around. So here are the list of events to lookout for from Dec 2007 to March 2008:
December 8-17
Arashiyama Hanatoro
December 31 - January 3
