Japan's MOST FAMOUS Bamboo Forest | Arashiyama Kyoto Travel Vlog 2022

[@risingsunjapanguideinfo8405]

The bamboo forest in Arashiyama, Kyoto is my favorite place. Please come to Kyoto again someday. 👍

[@WanderlustWellman]

It really is a beautiful place, I would love to come back again one day!

[@snaVyD]

Probably one of the places with genuine fresh air. 🍃🍃🍃

[@WanderlustWellman]

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you so much, hope you are having success planning your trip!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

That strawberry dessert looks tasty! We HAVE to visit that bamboo forest one day. Cool matcha class. Tell that monkey to put some pants on! We like eating all of the potatoes.

[@WanderlustWellman]

It was very tasty! I definitely recommend visiting one day. Potatoes are our favorite!

Great vlog like your other ones on the Gold Pavilion. This was very informative and you have a nice easy-going flow, which makes it very interesting and easy to follow. I was wondering approximately how long you'd say you spent walking along the Bamboo Forest path and also in the Monkey Park....just trying to make sure I leave enough time to see the sights. Since my first trip to Japan is coming up, I also had a question on how to get to Arashiyama from Kyoto since i got different directions. You mention getting on a "Tram"? Is this a local train. I was told to get on a JR Train (the Sangano Line) on Track 32 or 33, and then get off at JR Saga-Arashiyama instead of the Randen Arashiyama Station. Based on this, it seems like I'd need to walk several minutes through some local streets. Did I misunderstand amd this is the same route that you recommended or is this a different route? Any pros/cons for either route? Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks, Ron

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you again ron! I think we spent maybe 1 hour in the Bamboo forest, but we definitely took our time and tried to explore as much as possible. We probably spent 1.5 - 2 hours in the monkey park (including walking up/down the path). To get to Arashiyama, we took a local metro from Gion and then had to connect to take the Randen Tram to Arashiyama. The tram did seem to be a local train, as many locals were using it and there were many stops along the way. I would recommend the tram personally, and I really like the Randen Arashiyama Station that we arrived at. Based on my own experience and looking at the map, either the JR Saga-Arashiyama or Randen Arashiyama Station would work great. I would just use Google Maps to see the suggested route when going from Kyoto to Arashiyama. Hope you have a great trip Ron!

@@WanderlustWellman, really appreciate your quick reply. Thanks for clarifying things. Have a great day!

[@savana0801]

thank you for sharing your experience, i will visit next month, may i ask is the foot onsen warm water and how many minutes can stay?

[@WanderlustWellman]

The onsen is warm water, and you can stay as long as you like - but if it's relatively busy, it's probably best to not stay too long so others can use the space too. Have a great visit!

[@jjjhw]

May I know how long do you recommend to spend there?

[@WanderlustWellman]

How long to spend where - the bamboo forest, Arashiyama, or Kyoto?

[@jjjhw]

Bamboo forest, tenryuji, the bridge and food street

[@kanrekipapa]

Hello! Arisa and Papa enjoyed your videos. As a Japanese, it was a happy video. Thank you very much. We hope you have a happy new year!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Hello! Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked my video. Have a wonderful New Year, I hope to return to your wonderful country again soon :)

[@geraldofabianoartes3074]

Lindo demais parabens. Grande abraço Brasil

[@WanderlustWellman]

muito obrigado!

[@Ren-bb9fb]

hi thank you for making such an amazing video *。ヾ(｡>ｖ

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thank you so much for watching! We started around 10 or 10:30 back in November of 2022. It was definitely more busy later, but I think it wasn't very busy because this was very soon after Japan re-opened for international tourism.

[@syafiqreduan7398]

is there any ticket to buy to enter the bamboo forest? or any payment not including the trains

[@WanderlustWellman]

No ticket at all, it is free to enter!

[@rekasimbar8237]

How long you spend time to walk around there ?

[@WanderlustWellman]

The bamboo forest? Maybe an hour while stopping to take in the beauty. We spent the whole day in Arashiyama

[@tanjem]

that is a lot of walking ....

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha that is true, it made the foot bath all the more worth it 😊

[@Omni0404]

7:37 Not so different from us? They live in JAPAN!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Haha that's true, but I meant that monkeys are genetically very similar to humans!

[@MissDevilmanLady]

can you tell us where on a map is the matcha tea house ???

[@WanderlustWellman]

Check out my top things to do in Arashiyama video, I specifically show the matcha tea house’s location on Google 👍

[@emmiii-ir3qe]

Debating whether it was worth going since I hate crowded areas..might be

[@WanderlustWellman]

If you hate crowded areas, then I recommend going before 8am if possible.

[@emmiii-ir3qe]

@@WanderlustWellman thank you!

[@johnnymars9782]

Thanks for the video. To be honest, the bamboo forest doesn't look like anything special. Now I can decide to skip Arashiyama and use my time on other shrines LOL.

[@WanderlustWellman]

Thanks for checking out my video! Are there any other bamboo forests in Japan that you prefer? Hope you enjoy Arashiyama

[@johnnymars9782]

@@WanderlustWellman The video is nice ... but bamboo forests are very common in Asia. I saw lots of those in China. But if someone hasn't seen it before, then Arashiyama is a worthwhile visit.

[@seanlouieoinal3557]

What month is this?

[@WanderlustWellman]

It was November in 2022

[@debraeverhart14]

Do you think there are any animals in the bamboo forest?

[@WanderlustWellman]

Probably, but with all the people nearby they might go deeper into the forest

[@OffTheStrip]

Happy New Year! Glad you’re doing well with your vid’s and channel…wish I could say the same for my own channel “OffTheStrip”….help? 😂 great vid btw!!

[@WanderlustWellman]

Happy new year! Trust me, I wish my channel was doing better as well haha. But let's keep working hard together, hope 2023 is a good one
