Kyoto City Rakusai Bamboo Park

"A botanical garden visible from the south side entrance a five-minute walk from the ""Minamifukunishi-cho (Chikurinkoen-mae)"" bus stop. Oe and Oharano were once known for their abundant production of bamboo, but when these areas were developed, much of the bamboo was lost, and thus this park was opened in 1981 to preserve a portion of natural bamboo forest. An ecological garden modeled after a traditional Japanese garden, some 110 varieties of bamboo grow on the park's 5,000 square meter grounds. Visitors can walk the grounds and take in the forest, koi swimming in ponds, and waterfalls. There's also a bamboo museum and the Dodobashi Bridge, the site of a battle during the Onin War."
