Kyoto's Emerald City:
A Sanctuary of Natural Wonder
By: Shawanda James
Waves of wonder, serenity and awe wash over you as you move throughout the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. It’s almost inexplicable. Above any global or cultural esteem, the towering stalks of this natural sanctuary create an immersive experience that can only be understood by visiting it yourself. Highlighting Kyoto’s rich culture, history, and connection with nature, this forest draws visitors by the thousands, like an emerald city aglow in sunlight.
Exploring...
Textured with historical relevance and glowing in its organic beauty, the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest isn’t just another bucket-list site to check on your list. This remarkable site is an unforgettable escape to another world.
It’s an experience you must see and hear for yourself.
