I went to Arashiyama Hanatouro last thursday.
I took Randen the only tram train (in certain area only) remains in Kyoto.

It is flat fee 200 YEN on one way so if you are planning to goto Arashiyama from
our Ryokan. I reccomend to take Subway Tosai line to Uzumasa Tenjin station
then get this train.
It was really cold night however many people were there to see the light-ups.
I only went to Horinji-temple and Bamboo footpath.
It had different outlook from during the day.
Horinji has a terrace where you can have good view of Kyoto.
Unfortunatelly theres no picture of that but it is worth going.
Bamboo Footpath. There were few other colours lighted up, but I thought blue was the best.
There are Hanatouro at Higashiyama area this coming March as well.
If you are in Japan this time, please go and see roads and temples lighted up beatutifully.
