Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, or as it’s more commonly known, Bamboo Forest, is one of the most beautiful sights in all of Japan, a verdant, haven of tranquility that embodies the deep bond which exists between the people of the country and the natural world.

Situated on the outskirts of Kyoto - Japan’s former capital, renowned for its wealth of stunning, historic sights - the forest dates back nearly a thousand years, and is shrouded in myth and legend, a symbol of strength and prosperity that is said to protect the nearby temples from the threat of evil spirits.
