Location : Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Sagatenryuji Susukinobabacho, Ukyō-ku, Kyoto
14 min walk from Saga-Arashiyama Station or next to Arashiyama Torokko Station (Sagano Scenic-Seeing Tram, see Sagano Scenic Railway)
The walking paths that cut through the bamboo groves make for a nice walk or bicycle ride. The groves are particularly attractive when there is a light wind and the tall bamboo stalks sway gently back and forth. The bamboo has been used to manufacture various products, such as baskets, cups, boxes and mats at local workshops for centuries.
You can access it directly from the main street of Arashiyama, a little to the north of the entrance to Tenryu-ji Temple, but it’s best paired with a visit to that temple (exit the north gate, take a left and you’ll be in the grove in no time). There’s just one main path through the grove, which leads slowly uphill. Once you get to the top of the hill, the entrance to the sublime Okochi-Sanso Villa is right in front of you (go in, you won’t regret it). Source : https://www.insidekyoto.com/arashiyama-bamboo-grove
