Looking east from Arashiyama in Kyoto, Japan, the Togetsukyo Bridge, the icon of Arashiyama, is framed here by the mountains on the opposite side of the city and the Hozugawa River in the foreground.

Both this and my previous Togetsukyo Bridge photo do not show the most famous postcard view angle from the east side with the closest western peak directly behind the bridge.

I’ll be sure to get that view during a nighttime shoot later this year when the hill behind Togetsukyo will be lit up with colored lights for a special event.
