This tour covers every part of the bamboo forest. By rickshaw and on foot!
The first stop after cruising through the bustling main street is the bamboo forest. Enjoy the vivid green bamboo as your guide pulls you along the path reserved for rickshaws only, away from other visitors. Have your camera or mobile phone ready to take pictures. You don’t want to miss this.
After passing by the Nonomiya Shrine you will enter the second part of the bamboo forest, which is designed like a little park. Here we can take great group pictures with the stunning green bamboo in the background. On the way to the third and last section of the bamboo forest, you will pass by a well-kept scene from the Edo period
The third part of the bamboo forest can only be accessed on foot, so our guide will park the rickshaw within walking distance and then guide you to the most famous and impressive part of the bamboo forest. (To avoid the crowds here, we recommend starting the tour before noon)

We enjoyed a fantastic afternoon riding on a rickshaw through the Arashimaya bamboo forest. Our guides were friendly and caring, making sure everything was right plus they had some crazy good photography skills (see nearly professional pics), and they took some of the best pictures we have of our Japan trip. The scenery was magical as we went on breeze sunny spring afternoon.
