Sagano Bamboo Grove Path

Overview

The Sagano Bamboo Grove Path, located in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a must-see spot for any visitor to Arashiyama. Said to have been the site of aristocratic villas during the Heian period, it retains its historical charm. Towering bamboo stalks, exceeding 10 meters in height, densely line the path, creating a lush green tunnel that feels like a movie scene. Immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere, a soothing escape from daily life. Sunlight filtering through the bamboo creates magical shadows, perfect for photography. As you walk, you'll be surrounded by the sounds of nature – birdsong and the gentle murmur of the river – offering complete relaxation and rejuvenation. The Sagano Bamboo Grove Path is also captivating throughout the year. Spring brings vibrant new leaves glistening in the sunlight; summer offers cool shade from the dense bamboo; autumn paints the grove with autumnal colors; and winter blankets the bamboo in a magical snowscape. Beautiful in every season, it's a place you could visit time and again without ever tiring of its beauty. The Sagano Bamboo Grove Path is a must-visit destination during your Arashiyama trip. Experience this tranquil oasis and allow yourself to be refreshed and rejuvenated.
