There's a reason that Sagano Bamboo Forest ranks as one of Bored Panda's favorite places in the world. What we can say, we love bamboo! We are pandas after all. But even we wouldn't dream of munching on this beautiful forest situated in Arashiyama, the second-most popular tourist district in Kyoto. Walking through the towering bamboo groves is like being transported to another world, and even though it can get pretty crowded, especially during high season, there's no denying that Sagano Bamboo Forest is a must for anybody visiting the region.
