Hello. I started doing research 6 months ago for a first time trip to Japan. What started as must-visit sites has turn into gi would rather look into off the beaten path.h I am going during cherry blossom season, but I am rather anxious about the crowd levels. Granted that I am also a visitor contributing to the crowd, at least I am not placing a selfie stick over anybody. I just want to enjoy the moment, However, i do want to see a bamboo grove and my daughter is all hyped about it. Has anybody visited Take-no-michi ? Would you recommend as an alternative to Arashiyama? I i really wanted to visit Togetsukyo bridge and kimono forest, but I would be unable to fit both the latter plus Take-no-michi on the same day.

The closest train station to Take-no-Michi is Higashimuko Station. From the train station it's either a 30 minute walk or roughly 6 minutes by taxi. As for whether you can fit in Take-no-Michi and Arashiyama in the same day, I don't see why not. From Higashimuko Station to Arashiyama Station (Hankyu Railway), the train journey is 16 minutes. And from Arashiyama Station (Hankyu) to Togetsukyo bridge it's about a 5 minute walk. And my advice is to get there as early as possible. I've visited Arashiyama Bamboo Forest at 7am before and people were starting to turn up.

Take no Michi (or Rakusai Chikurin Park) are good alternatives to Sagano - still nearly unknown to the guidebook "experts", and hence far fewer people. Take no Michi is also a bit less than 2 km long. It's more time consuming and troublesome to get to though. Another alternative is at the Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple (the bamboo is at the very back).

Thanks for the replies. I will visit Adashino. I even found a bus to go there and come back next to the bridge. I will not even stop at the crowded version.
I would also do Take-no-michi if I was by myself, but I have to consider all family members. But thanks for the advice.
