Shuzenji Bamboo Grove

Shuzenji Bamboo Grove

SCENIC WALK

Want to visit a bamboo grove but Arashiyama is too far then look no further! Shuzenji in the Izu Peninsula has its own mini bamboo grove running through the centre of the hot spring town.

There is a free gallery nearby which is free of charge and features photographs of Shuzenji within the different seasons. You can also enjoy the bamboo grove illuminated from between sunset and 23:00.

There is no set parking for the bamboo grove, however you are able to use one of the many car parks in the area for a fee.

Review

The bamboo grove is a must-see if you’re in the area. Although not as big as Arashiyama, it is a small bamboo grove close to Tokyo so it’s easy to come here for a day, or even a few days to explore. The grove is situated between the two main bridges in this part of the town so make sure to cross off two of the five bridges.

The grove is very famous so it can get very crowded during the day.
