There is a trail starting from Rokusho Shrine in Yamashina that leads up into the Higashiyama Hills. On a snowy winter morning it offered an easy and beautiful nature walk with views over Yamashina, and lovely scenes of bamboo in the snow. The path was so pretty I couldn't stop taking photos!

The bamboo beside the path looked so beautiful
View over Yamashina in Kyoto with the curve of the JR Line in the center
A trail into the hills begins at these steps near Rokusho Shrine
The path looked both mysterious and inviting
Small amounts of snow piled on the joints of the bamboo stems
Snow turns this path into a beautiful winter scene
Footprints in the snow
These footprints are half filled in
Snow on pine needles
There's something magical about snow!
