Overview
A free bamboo forest park with over 100 bamboo varieties. Arashiyama's serenity without the selfie sticks.
Rakusai Bamboo Park showcases over 100 species of bamboo from Japan and around the world in a beautifully maintained park in southwestern Kyoto. The winding paths through towering groves offer the atmospheric bamboo experience most visitors seek at Arashiyama, but with a fraction of the foot traffic. Free admission makes it an accessible alternative.
Local tips
Visit after rain when droplets on bamboo leaves create a natural percussion concert and the air smells intensely green.
