Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

#summervacay Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto is one of the most magical and photographed places in Japan — a surreal pathway surrounded by towering green bamboo stalks that sway and whisper in the wind. Why Arashiyama Bamboo Grove Is So Popular 1. Otherworldly Atmosphere The moment you step into the grove, you’re surrounded by tall, densely packed bamboo that stretch up to 30+ feet. When the wind blows, the bamboo creaks and sways, creating a soft, hauntingly beautiful soundscape — so iconic that it’s designated as part of Japan’s “100 Soundscapes”. 2. Free & Easy to Access The bamboo path is free of charge and open 24/7. Located in western Kyoto, a short walk from Arashiyama Station or Saga-Arashiyama Station. #bamboo #attraction #citydaytours #thingstodo
