I travel the world #309: Bamboo Forest Kyoto

Bamboo Forest Kyoto

The Bamboo Forest in Kyoto is world famous. Every tourist will visit this place and if you ever see articles about Japan and see a beautiful Bamboo forest it is very likely shot in Kyoto. Last time when I visited the Bamboo Forest there were only a few people there but this time it was so full tourists that you could not take a proper picture. We walked passed some parked Riki-shas and these looked really cool.

Funny thing we SPOTTED were the carvings many couples left in the Bamboo. H+K, M+B etc. etc. there were a lot tourist carving their names and a heart into the Bamboo. I really liked the bamboo artists selling their handcrafted toys made of bamboo. At least these guys will never run out of bamboo that's for sure.

Funny Fact about Bamboo: Did you know that Bamboo will grow 1m per day? That's so fast, if you ever were thinking about putting Bamboo in your Garden think twice, Bamboo spreads faster than you can look and getting it out completly is a super messy work.

Do you like Bamboo ???

I am planning to go to Osaka and Kyoto and I will love to surround by a forest of Bamboo

I love your pictures of the bamboo forest. If I go to Kyoto, I will be sure to visit it. Bamboo has always been a part of my life as it is cherished as a symbol of prosperity and strength. I was told by my Grandmother that bamboo may look weak but is very strong and that it can bend but not break. I look toward bamboo as a good human characteristic. Thank-you for your article.

yes. bamboo is really incredible ;)

Great post as always! When I lived in Japan we were told that in the event of an earthquake to run to the bamboo forests since the roots of the bamboo tended to hold the earth together to a degree. Thank goodness, we never had occasion to test that.

wow....scary....

yeah 9.0 would be insane...

It is really nice place, cemetery near is also great! I wish I could go there when it's empty!
Check my Mexico trip report ;)

I have been doing a lot a of research and experimentation on bamboo recently!
Funny how many uses bamboo has!

I would really love to travel to Japan. I've only ever seen a bamboo forest on TV or in films. Love your posts. 😀

Das ist aber echt mal ein Wald! Mein letzter Vote heute, Resteemed - gute Nacht Meister der Reisen und des guten Essens!

竹林は自宅から徒歩30~40分と、微妙な距離にあります。バスもあるのですがお客さんでいっぱいです。ちなみに 乗客の一人が"Where is the bamboo?" と尋ねるとバスの運転手が「バンブーここ、バンブーここ」と教えていたのは面白かったです。これから京都を訪れたいという方、暑いので熱中症の対策をしてくださいね!

昔はそんなに人がいなかったのですがねー。。。。今は写真もとれませんね

This is awesome, happy traveling!

Have fun travelling buddy, awesome update!

thank you ;) kyoto is so terrific !

That looks surreal amongst all that bamboo. That's a nice side trip to check out.

Dream place for every panda, and all human tourists. :)
