Rakusai Park, Bamboo garden park in Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan.

The ecological garden at Rakusai Park contains 110 species of bamboo and bamboo grass, with pathways winding through dense groves.

The Nishinooka Bamboo Forest Road, part of the Kyoto Nature 200 selection, represents a long-standing tradition of bamboo cultivation in this region.

The park includes a specialized Bamboo Museum that presents traditional handicrafts and explains the importance of bamboo in Japanese society.
