Located in western Kyoto, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is a popular nature spot to visit. The main path is lined with full-grown bamboo stalks filtering the sunlight glistening through them and illuminating the area with a mystical glow.
Bamboo groves exist all over Japan but Arashiyama is amongst the most popular ones. It might get very crowded during the day, so it is advised to visit before the sun rises and visitors start to flood the area.
While the forest is located outside the center, it is easily accessed from Kyoto Station.
