Chikurin-no-Komichi (Bamboo Forest Path)
Along Katsura River, which runs through the center of the onsen town, is a path through a bamboo forest full of Japanese mood.
Lying down on one of the circle benches at the center of the path and looking up, one can enjoy the fresh contrast of blue sky and green bamboo leaves.
At night, the bamboo forest path and its surrounding onsen town are lit up, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
For a limited time every evening, the circle benches become screens upon which paper cuttings are projected, adding a little extra artistic enjoyment for those who prefer the night-stroll over daytime walks.
