There are many beautiful bamboo forests in Japan. For example, if you go to Arashiyama in Kyoto or Kamakura in Kanagawa prefecture, you can take a walk through the bamboo forest. You can see that bamboo is used everywhere in temples and tea rooms in Japanese gardens. Recently, there are bamboo forest roads illuminated at night, so please visit such tourist spots.
