Would You Like To Visit The Bamboo Forest?

The walking paths that cut through the bamboo groves make for a nice walk or bicycle ride. You can also take a rickshaw ride from the young Japanese men and go through the bamboo forest path and around Arashiyama if you want.

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Kyoto's top sights and for good reason. After leaving Okochi Sanso, follow the bamboo forest path back in the direction to find Takemura, an old Japanese restaurant that specializes in yu-dofu.
