Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanada's business endeavours as a young entrepreneur need no introduction. Besides harbouring a passion for her profession, the 26-year-old also has a penchant for travel. Her latest destination of visit offered us a glimpse into the beauty of Japan. Her recent visit to the Japanese city of Kyoto was worth bookmarking. Sharing a carousel of “Postcards” from the location on Instagram, Navya offered her followers a glimpse into her holiday diaries. She dropped by the quaint Byodo-in Hoodo temple, also known as the Phoenix Hall. Constructed on a small island, the picturesque place was encircled with lush greenery, pink blossoms, and a greenish-hued pond. The deft architectural brilliance was a bonus. Navya engaged in admiring the pristine views and making tea in a traditional Japanese process.
Felt the urge to pack your bags and jet off to Kyoto like Nabta Naveli Nanda? Then take a look at some of the top things to do in the cultural capital of Japan.
1. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine
This one is a must-visit place in Kyoto with a special attraction of 1000 orange torii or gates. The cobbled pathway winds through a long stretch that will take you a few hours to reach the shrine. On your way, soak in the beauty of the emerald-green forests, fox statues and miniature torii.
2. Tetsugaku No Michi/Philosopher's Path
For a relaxing stroll, the Philosopher's Path must be included in your bucket list. This canal-side walkway attracts tourists during the spring and fall season when the trees shed cherry blossoms and the paths are filled with pink flowers.
3. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
Experience a surreal phenomenon in this thickly-clustered bamboo forest where the wind passes through the bamboo, making a whistling sound. There's also a Zen temple for those wishing to indulge in spirituality.
