Arashiyama Bamboo Grove & Tenryu-ji Garden

A morning through the towering bamboo and the Zen gardens of Arashiyama.

About this experience

Walk the famous Sagano bamboo path early, when the light filters green through stalks that creak and rustle high overhead.

Your guide leads you into the UNESCO-listed Tenryu-ji temple to its borrowed-scenery garden — designed in the 14th century and unchanged since — then on to the moss and the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river beneath the western hills.
