Bamboo Forest

The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is a popular spot in Kyoto, Japan. You've probably seen lots of photos of this forest - but as most people say, a photo doesn't really capture the otherworldliness of this place when you are actually there.

 

On my first day I got here at 9am thinking that it would be relatively empty but boy was I wrong. This was taken on my second visit when I got there at 7:00am which was a much quieter time and much more tranquil - I still had to wait around for 20 minutes though to get a completely empty path.
