Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Japan

Located in western Kyoto near the entrance to the city’s Tenryu-ji Temple, this grove of bamboo is distinctive for its otherworldly quality as you walk down the path that meanders through it. The bamboo stalks tower up to the heavens, creating a whisper-quiet setting amongst the city noise. If you visit the bamboo forest in wintertime, the sparkling snow adds an ethereal, dream-like element to this already magical place.
