sagano arashiyama bamboo forest

Sagano Bamboo Forest

Kyoto

Only a few footsteps away to the north from Togetsukyo bridge, the Sagano Bamboo Forest (or Arashiyama Bamboo Forest) is one of the most famous photo-shooting places in Japan and offers a particular atmosphere to visitors… even though the bamboo-forest-crossing narrow path, which is very popular, attracts more and more tourists. The rising of the sun is, with no doubt, one of the quietest moments.
