This forest is the perfect place for all those who want to escape the city noise. Also this place is a wonderful destination for those who want to stray deep in a forest and forget everyday worries.
Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, a district on the west outskirts of Kyoto,  Japan.Sagano Bamboo Forest is one of the most amazing natural sites in Japan.
Sagano bamboo forest is one of the most visited and most photographed places in the whole of Japan. There tourists can enjoy the beautiful bamboo trees in pure and fresh air, the beautiful sound coming from the wind passing through the bamboo trees. 

                                                                                   Look up!  You'll see them towering impossibly high above, swaying in the breeze..

Interesting fact –  the railing on the sides of the road is composed out of old, dry and fallen parts of bamboo.The bamboo forest goes on for about half a mile and is quite the sight to behold.

                                               Before you Go: Trail Tips

Tip: Do wear mosquito repellant. This is a mostly shady trail through damp jungle and the mosquitoes love it in here!  Don't be a meal for a mosquito!

Protect your feet from stinging centipedes! I recommend a pair of closed-toed runners or hiking shoes. Maui's jungles are home to some larger centipedes that can sting you - the closed toes shoes will protect your toes if you happen to kick one up while walking.  

Stay cool by dressing light! Most of the trail is shaded, so you won't have to worry about sunburn overly much - leave your long-sleeves and pants at home.  However, despite the shade, it tends to be very warm and humid on the trail - keep cool in light clothing that breathes - my favourite choice is a tank top and shorts.

Food and Water: Stock up on whatever supplies you want for the hike in Hana since you won't find anything near the trail itself.
