The delightful scenery attracted noble families and poets who built their homes in Sagano. Sagano bamboo trail spans about 400m (437 yards) from Nonomiya Shrine, via Tenryuji Temple’s north gate to Okochi Sanso cottage.

Green bamboos shoot up to the sky. The beautiful scene is often in travel magazines, TV shows, and ads, known as Kyoto’s famous landscape. The trees grow straight up and the tops bend over, creating a bamboo tunnel.

Take your time in the dancing sunbeams and the sound of rustling leaves on the tranquil path and leave your hustle-bustle behind. From Tenryuji Temple’s north gate to Okawachi Sanso cottage, a slight slope goes up. You can gaze down at the bamboo grove from the top of the slope, which is a popular photo spot.

There is a rickshaw path without a fence. Stop a rickshaw and try a ride.
Every December, during the Kyoto Arashiyama Hanatouro, the bamboo grove and the surrounding area are lighted up into a dreamy world. Temples in the neighborhood are open for your visit as well during this festival.

    往天龍寺的方向走,小徑都是要去渡月橋的遊客,經過這茂密的竹林非常壯觀

    滿滿的竹林,很懷念這個地方!

  • 江雪

    兩邊竹林茂密到只剩下一線天,有人力車出沒,還有人是搭乘出租車來的。

  • 范雯

    出了火車站跟著人群走就是京都有名的竹林步道。
