Ohara 大原 is a small village nestled between the mountains north of Kyoto 京都. Administratively it belongs to Kyotos Sakyo-ku 左京区but it cleary is no part of the capital. There is no train connection so you have to take a bus from Kyoto, which takes no longer then one hour from the city center. The villages main attractions are it’s natural beauty consisting of charming farm houses and diverese fields and rice paddies. There are two big temples that attract tourists, Sanzen-in 三千院 and Jakko-in 寂光院, a waterfall that is supposed to be “without sound” 音無し滝 but in reality is quite noisy, and a few smaller buddhist establishments. Additionally I am pretty sure that I saw Venetia from one of those NHK shows (猫のしっぽ カエルの手)who supposedly lives in Ohara, but I prefer not to annoy people during their daily-live activities in their hometown. -- source link
