At a Glance

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is a walking path through tall bamboo in western Kyoto. It lies in Sagano, close to Tenryu-ji, and makes a natural stop on a day exploring the Arashiyama area. The short path lets you look up at the bamboo canopy and watch sunlight filter between the stems.

Pair the grove with nearby gardens or a riverside walk instead of treating it as a full-day visit. Choose how far to explore around your walking comfort and leave room for a break. Keep to the paths and never carve or write on the bamboo; damage harms the plants and the landscape.
