Our favourite quiet Kyoto temple, and a UNESCO site most visitors skip in favour of the bigger names. Home to one of Japan's oldest pagodas and a stunning Japanese garden, this ended up meaning the most to us out of every temple in Japan.

We missed out on Nintendo Museum tickets ourselves, so we spent hours figuring out exactly how the lottery works and what we'd do differently, based on our own (failed) attempt.

Our one-day Arashiyama itinerary includes the famous bamboo forest, Iwatayama Monkey Park, and Tenryu-ji Temple, plus practical tips based on our own visit.
