What to Do

Well, Kyoto is one of my favorite city in Japan and I've been plannned to visit this bamboo forest. Arashiyama is famous for its Sagano Romantic Train ride, whether during for its cherry blossoms or autumn for the brilliant colors of its maple leaves. This place is the bamboo forest paths which are over 500 meters long, set between Tenryuji temple and Nonomiya Shrine. The Japanese have a long history with bamboo, in myths and legends, metaphorically linking a man's strength with this plant.
