The Experience
Visit the bamboo forest by rickshaw!
Start your trip at the Togetsukyo, the best spot to view the autumn foliage or the cherry blossoms on the mountain in the spring. Continue along the bustling main street and feel the change of atmosphere when you enter the bamboo forest, in which the popular Nonomiya Shrine is nestled. By passing on the rickshaw-only path of the bamboo forest, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the year-round green bamboo. Before returning to the starting location, you will see the rural scenery preserved from the Edo period: fields and a cottage with thatched roof.
