Kyoto – Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

Kyoto is the former imperial capital of Japan and accordingly has many historical pavillions temples, shrines and gardens to offer. And of course the obligatory observation tower, one can find in every big city all over the world.

For western visitors the bamboo forest at Arashiyama is definitely another highlight and most likely the best, but at least an very exotic attraction. It’s one of the most pleasant nature spots in the city of Kyoto.
