The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto has no entrance fee—it is completely free to visit and stroll through the main bamboo forest paths at any time[1][2][3][4][5][7].
You do not need to pay to enter the grove itself, as it is a public area, open 24 hours a day and accessible from several entry points near Arashiyama’s main street or through side paths[3][4]. Any costs are only for nearby attractions like Tenryu-ji Temple or the Okochi Sanso villa, not for the bamboo grove itself[1][2][6]. Transport to the area (by train or bus) is not included and is paid separately[2][5].
