Repeat After Me…Instagram Can Be Reality…For A Price! I took these photos at 12:30 in the afternoon at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. No edits, no cropping, I just did the most rational thing. I paid a guide to curate an experience for me that would make me feel like no one else was there despite there being hundreds or perhaps thousands of other people. Touristy places are great at 6:00 am but a nightmare to navigate the rest of the time, especially in Japan. . . . . #solotraveller #bambooforest #japantravel #japantraveltips
