Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
Category
Attraction
Location
Sagaogurayama Tabuchiyamacho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 616-8394, Japan
A stunning pathway lined with towering bamboo groves in western Kyoto. The swaying bamboo creates an otherworldly atmosphere, and the trail connects to other Arashiyama landmarks including the Togetsukyo Bridge and Tenryu-ji Temple.
- Visit early morning (before 8 AM) to avoid crowds and capture the best photos.
- The path is short — about 500 meters — so combine it with nearby Tenryu-ji Temple.
- Free to walk at any time; the bamboo is especially atmospheric on cloudy or misty days.
