KyotoUkyo Ward, Arashiyama
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
A 400–500m forest path lined with towering bamboo on both sides. The morning light filtering through the stalks offers an experience impossible to replicate in afternoon crowds.
Tips
- ·Arrive before 8am—after 9am tour groups completely fill the path
- ·10-minute walk from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, 3 minutes from Arashiyama Station (Randen)
- ·Pair with Tenryu-ji Temple (¥1,000, 2026 rate) and Togetsukyo Bridge for a half-day outing
