I visited here on 15th May 2019 to see ‘Aoi Matsuri’ parade. When entering the forest, young green leaves wrapped me. Fresh air, shade of trees and a small stream downward made it easier to sit and wait for the parade for one and a half-hours. Pay seats were at the other side of the street but this free space was very enough for me. Around 11:40, the parade arrived at the forest and continued for about 30min. It was good opportunity to witness traditional Japanese rituals. Besides, I noticed that tender green of this season is very adorable and refreshing while it’s not so featured comparing with spring cherry blossoms and autumn colored leaves.

Tadasu no Mori, which literally means "Forest of Correction," is a sacred grove associated with an important Shinto sanctuary complex known in Japanese as the Kamo-jinja, situated near the banks of the Kamo River just north of where the Takano River joins the Kamo River in northeast Kyoto. The deep green of this forest provides a great sense of tranquility. This long stretch of path in the forest is much favored by the locals of this area. You may want to stroll around the nature with stram running through all the way. Especially early in the morning when the sun light leaking through the shade of leaves called " komorebi " is something spectacular. one of the greatest spots to stay cool in the heat of summer season. You might also be able to see hotaru ( fireflies ) in early June. ( Trans-word+ : TGM Kyoto )

This is a wonderful place attached to the UNESCO world heritage site of Shimogamo shrine. It's a shame that some of the land was used to build apartments

Nice forest with a few shrines nearby. We went there early December and the maple trees were turning red and it was gorgeous.

Splendid walk. Recommend in every season. You’ll be surrounded by tons of huge tree. The path way is easy to walk if you want to absorb some nature with out being challenge. Along the way there’ll be some tree with goddess sign and the gate to lead you to various shrines. I really enjoy my moment here. Its not crowded and peaceful. Would love to be back again

It's unbelievable how beautiful this part of Kyoto is. We stay in a small luxury hotel nearby and this forest is just magical during our sunny mornings. Highly recommend this area as it is the truly best part of Authentic Kyoto away from the tourist masses.

Beautiful green space and park with lots for trees. A hidden gem as it’s not as packed with tourists especially in the fall foliage season.

Gorgeous row of trees steeped in history. Lovely streams and you see the care taken to weed, groom and also leaf blowers were activated, all to maintain the lovely space.

Very nice place for watching sakura along the river. Good place to walk and spend leisure time. I enjoyed. There aren't any facilities, but close to main street with shops.

Nice place to visit, but needs more maintenance work.

It's a beautiful wild forest that you wouldn't expect to find just near the center of the city

It's a forest in the middle of city. Pretty cool and great place to stroll on hot summer days

This place is so pretty and chill
