竹林の小径 (Kitasaga Bamboo Grove)
In the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan, is the jaw-dropping Sagano Bamboo Grove. The forest was the setting of Japanese novelist and poet Lady Murasaki Shikibu's acclaimed novel, “The Tale of Genji.” There is a walking path that cuts through the bamboo grove and makes for a photogenic trek as light filters through the stalks. The bamboo in the grove is still used to manufacture cups, boxes, baskets and mats in the area. To view more photos and videos of the bamboo forest, be sure to tap the blue location text above.
