Overview

Everyone who comes to Kyoto must visit this cool and fantastic bamboo forest to take pictures.
It is said to have been a vacation home for aristocrats in the Heian period (794-1185). On sunny days, the sun shining through the trees is pleasant, and on sunless days, it is dim even during the daytime.

Tenryu-ji, a Zen temple, is a quieter place to visit than other temples, allowing you to calmly enjoy the lovely gardens and decorations of the temple grounds.
Also, this temple is recognized as a World Heritage Site. This is an important experience that will add color to your trip, as you will be able to see up close the garden, a nationally designated historic site and special place of scenic beauty.

Enjoy the area's history, shopping, and photo opportunities at various locations to color your day unforgettable.
