Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

一條約四百公尺長的步道,穿行於高聳的竹林之間,竹梢在風中搖曳作響,緊鄰京都西部的天龍寺。是日本拍照率最高的自然景觀之一,且全天候免費開放通行。

The grove is open 24 hours with free entry. Arrive at or before sunrise to have the path close to yourself; it gets very crowded by mid-morning. It's about a 10-minute walk from Saga-Arashiyama Station (JR Sagano Line) or a 30-minute Hankyu train ride from central Kyoto. Combine it with neighbouring Tenryu-ji's garden and, further on, the Togetsukyo Bridge.
