Bamboo Groves

When you think of Japan, bamboo groves might be one of the first things that come to mind. Bamboo is found all over Japan, year-round, in all kinds of places and forms: it could be a carefully tended grove at a temple, a small patch by the roadside on your way to the train station, or a vast forest in the countryside. Because bamboo is evergreen, you'll see it no matter what season you visit Japan.
