    • Experience the culture of Kyoto bamboo shoots on this bamboo-focused tour in Oharano, Nishikyo Ward, a renowned bamboo shoot growing region. A bamboo shoot farmer who manages the bamboo forest will provide a clear explanation of bamboo shoots, from their ecology to their culture. Participants will also have the opportunity to harvest using a unique hoe unique to this region, and enjoy a meal made with the fresh bamboo shoots they harvested themselves (four dishes typically eaten by farmers will be served, along with drinks such as sake). While the bamboo shoots are boiling, participants will have the opportunity to make bamboo chopsticks (matcha green tea and sweets included) at the Chikuseien Shop & Gallery. During meals, participants will enjoy the scenery in the bamboo forest using the bamboo chopsticks they made and the bamboo bowls and cups freshly made by the growers. The tour is conducted by a team of growers who cultivate the highest quality bamboo shoots with a spirit of inquiry, teamed up with an interpreter guide with deep roots and a deep understanding of the region.
