Arashiyama Hanatouro is another Hanatouro in Kyoto. In late autumn, huge numbers of lanterns and lights illuminate Arashiyama area. Some temples and shrines hold illumination as well.<Web: http://www.hanatouro.jp/e/arashiyama/index.html>

Bamboo Forest Walkways are lit up as well. You can feel good atmosphere even with so many people.

Those pillars are called Kimono Forest. It is a collection of gorgeous cylinder-shaped pillars framing the lane way to Randen tram station on Kyoto’s Keifuku Arashiyama line. The illumination is not only hanatouro's time though, I recommend you to stop over.
