Highlights

Saga-Arashiyama Station - We’ll meet up at Saga-Arashiyama Station at 6:30 PM, right outside the ticket gates. You won’t have to go down any stairs to find us. From there, we’ll swing by a convenience store to grab some drinks. Then we’ll take a walk towards the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. But keep in mind, the bamboo forest will be pitch dark at this time of night, making for a unique and scary experience.
Arashiyama Bamboo Grove - We are embarking on an adventure to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest at nightfall. As the veil of darkness unfurls over the forest, the area will be enveloped in an intense pitch-black, transforming it into an enigmatic world of towering, whispering bamboo stalks. Brace yourself for an exhilarating experience, as the eeriness of the darkness could send delightful shivers down your spine.
Saga-Arashiyama Station - As our journey reaches its finale, we’ll make our way back to the Saga-Arashiyama Station. Enriched by the memorable sights and experiences, we will end our tour under the soft glow of the station lights. It’s a time to reflect on our nocturnal adventure through the bamboo groves, across the Moon Crossing Bridge, and amidst the illuminated Kimono Forest. Thank you for joining me on this unique journey through the breathtaking beauty of Arashiyama at night.

Kyoto by night with a difference. - Such a unique way to see the bamboo forest. If you are wanting to do something very different whilst in Kyoto then highly recommend.
