There are many kinds of bamboo growing here, including bright green bamboo, golden yellow bamboo, and mysterious bamboo with a tortoiseshell pattern🕊🌱🌿🍃 It has also been used as a location for live-action movies such as Rurouni Kenshin and Kingdom, and commercials for Oi Ocha☺️🫶 As you walk through the bamboo forest, you will find swings, athletic facilities, and tea shops🎶 The matcha and chestnut sweets served in real bamboo containers are elegant, and eating them in a space surrounded by bamboo was extremely relaxing🤭🍵💓 The bamboo containers are OK to take home, so I took them home and used them as a small item holder🎶 In addition to the bamboo forest, chestnuts and blueberries were also grown🥰🌰🫐 There is a cafe, souvenir shop, and exhibition space at the entrance, so you can enjoy them all together🫶 By the way, the bamboo forest is lit up at night, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere from the daytime🫣🌃🌙 What did you think?
