Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
嵐山竹林Kyoto · Kansai
The bamboo path is a free public route with no ticket gates and no closing time, which is why arriving at first light is the only reliable way to see it without crowds. It runs a few hundred metres between Tenryu-ji's north gate and the Okochi Sanso approach, with the culms closing overhead so the light on the path stays green and low.
