Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
嵐山竹林の小径
Arashiyama, Kyoto · 京都
A walled path through dense moso bamboo behind Tenryū-ji, the stems tall enough that the light goes green and the wind is audible above you.
Why it’s worth it
The government has recorded the sound of this grove as one of Japan’s hundred soundscapes to preserve — which you will only hear if you arrive before seven.
