Bamboo Grove
A short distance past the main hall is a stone stairway lined on both sides by a thick grove of moso bamboo. This species of bamboo can exceed 20 meters in height and is considered very ornamental with its elegant canes and dense foliage. The quiet pathway curves upwards and to the right, concealing what lies at the end and making it seem as if the stairs continue infinitely through the bamboo. This scenic part of the Adashino Nenbutsuji temple grounds is smaller and slightly more remote than the popular Sagano Bamboo Forest nearby in Arashiyama, but is no less beautiful.
