The Bamboo Forest

Located in Arashiyama, outskirts of Kyoto, Japan, this Bamboo Forest is a fascinating place for walks and people seeking peace of mind. This place enchants not only for its natural beauty, but also by the sounds produced by the wind blowing through the bamboo trees. The walks among the bamboos provide an unusual and picturesque view. The tree has been used by Japanese craftsmen for centuries to make cups, hashi (the famous chopsticks used in food as cutlery) and many everyday items.
