This dense growth of trees in Arashiyama is well-liked by many travelers, so make a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are loads more places waiting for you to explore after Bamboo Forest Street. Nijō Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and Kyoto Tower are not far away.
