The Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is pure magic!

Walking through the towering bamboo stalks feels like stepping into another world.

It’s such a peaceful experience early in the morning, but by midday, it does get pretty busy.

If you’re up for something unique, hop in a rickshaw. Your guide will take you to all the best photo spots.

We spent a couple of hours here.

Pro Tip: Pair your visit with nearby spots like Tenryu-ji Temple to make the most of your time in Arashiyama.
