Beautiful but not a must see in my opinion. It is packed and the bamboo forest was not as magical as others claim or maybe they never been around bamboo. A lot of tourists and expensive shops. If you go, you will see beautiful temples and nature. We were able to visit the area using a stroller.

A must visit for tourists. But it’s indeed very MYSTICAL! it feels like we entered into another dimension, just appreciating the scenery. Lots of beautiful photo spots. crowded for sure, depending on what time you visit the forest. Free, no admission fee! … もっと見る

I came here early, shortly after sunrise. Too many photographers were taking photos. The light was not enough. Tripod required. It is better not to go too early, but earlier enough before the crowd come in, but after photographers have done their tasks. もっと見る

You can forget about taking a nice peaceful stroll through the bamboo forest as it is extremely crowded with hordes of tourists from all over the world. I am not sure why this place is so popular. The nearby Monkey Park is more fun and less crowded.

The bamboo forest is beautiful and worth seeing, but as many people recommend, it's best to go as early as possible (or before sunset). I arrived at 7:40am and there were already a fair few people there, mostly focused on taking photos. The … もっと見る

Don't trust the pictures showing nobody in the area as those are usually taken during the wee hours of the morning like 5-7am. It will get very busy and packed. Probably good to visit during meal times to get fewer people in your picture. … もっと見る

The bamboo forest is nice. However, it has been grossly sensationalised by social media. The walk through takes five minutes, and if you arrive too late, will be overflowing with tourists. Thankfully, we went early, and were able to take … もっと見る

Very nice bamboo forest. You can take a direct bus that is just outside kyoto train station. (See Google maps). There are many shops outside this bamboo forest. These shops and the bus loads of tourist make this a very vibrant area. Also … もっと見る

Amazing place. I would highly recommend coming earlier in the morning before the tour groups get here as it can get quite claustrophobic in the late morning to early afternoon. If you get there before 10, you shouldn’t have any issues … もっと見る

Embraced the early hours at Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, taking advantage of our early riser status to wander through nature's beauty before sunrise, capturing moments of tranquility. The short walk from beginning to end revealed majestic … もっと見る

Iconic tourist location in Kyoto! Most who visit Arashiyama will have a walk around the Bamboo Forest. I was definitely expecting crowds as it was difficult for us to arrive by 7am with two kids in tow since we were coming from Osaka. … もっと見る

It just started snowing and the breeze had picked up but we were protected on the paths. The rustling on the leaves way above were soothing and very reminiscent of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. … もっと見る

雷電で嵐山に来て、渡月橋を渡り竹林の小径を散策。いや〜雷電はとても素敵な駅で大好きですが、そこから歩いて渡月橋に来るまで道が混んでる 人ばっかりです。でも景観は素敵✨そこから狭い道に入って竹林っぽい道を歩いてそしてたどり着いた眼の前竹林が覆いかぶさる圧巻な景観。よくここまで育ったね〜歴史を感じます！ほとんど周りは外国の方でしたが。万国共通皆凄いと思うのは同じですね …

I had the pleasure of being able to visit this gorgeous place with my wife in November 2023. It was just the beginning of fall season and the weather was starting to cool down. … もっと見る

人が写らない竹林の写真を撮りたくて渡月橋近くに宿をとり、朝5時台に行きました。その時間帯だと嵐山は歩いている人は少なく、沢山撮れました。京都にくると必ず来ますが、朝早くてもある程度の時間になると人がどんどん増えてきます。やはり人がいない風景の写真でなければ竹林のあの風情の良さは感じられませんね。何度きても心が穏やかになるステキな場所です。

京都嵐山の名所のひとつ。 竹林の光景は風情があり、静かにゆっくりと歩いていきたい場所です。多くの人が訪れる場所であるため、なかなか静かに巡るとはいきませんが、それでも小径の両脇に無数とある竹の中を歩くのはとても良いひとときになります。

京都と言えばの名所の一つ嵐山の竹林。 インバウンドで外国人観光客も多く賑わっておりました。 雨上がりだったので竹林のいい香りが一層香ってきて歩いてるだけで癒しの時間でした。 … もっと見る
