"Dense bamboo forests—with their rows upon rows of long, ringed, smooth stems—provide a feeling of composure and tranquility. The sound of wind blowing through bamboo, of stems knocking against one another and leaves rustling, is revered in Japan. Nowadays, bamboo forests are few and far between. This one, on the way to Okoeni Sanso from Tenryu-ji, is a delight. The forest is a short walk from the Saga-Arashiyama train station." -Fodor
"It is a beautiful forest with a path through its heart." -Spacious Planet
