Bamboos that cover the sky are neatly lined up
The road from Nonomiya Shrine to Okochi Sanso Villa through the north gate of Tenryuji Temple is about 400 meters long. The well-maintained bamboo forest continues on both sides of the road, making it a tourist attraction that represents Kyoto. It is said that it was a villa district for aristocrats during the Heian period, and on sunny days, the sunlight filtering through the trees is pleasant, and on days without sun, it becomes dark even during the day.

The Bamboo Forest, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove or Sagano Bamboo Forest is a natural grove of bamboo in Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan. It is mostly composed of Mōsō bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and features several paths for tourists and visitors. The Ministry of the Environment considers them part of Japan's soundscape.
The grove is located not far from the Tenryū-ji Temple, the headquarters of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, as well as the Nonomiya Shrine.
