Anime Tour Kyoto: ONE PIECE & Arashiyama Bamboo

Daikakuji Temple is an essential stop on the ONE PIECE pilgrimage, as a rare signed drawing of Luffy by ONE PIECE author Eiichiro Oda is proudly exhibited here! This valuable temple was founded on the site of the detached palace of Emperor Saga, making it a highly prestigious institution with deep Imperial ties. It is also the head temple of ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement).

Walk through the enchanting Bamboo Forest Path. Step into a magical world where soaring green bamboo stalks reach for the sky. As the sunlight filters through the leaves, it creates a serene atmosphere perfect for photography. Listen to the rustling of the bamboo in the wind—a sound that defines the beauty of Japanese nature.

Kurumazaki Shrine is a significant stop for ONE PIECE fans, famous for being the place where the Straw Hat Pirates are officially listed on the shrine, thanks to their generous donation! The shrine is also widely revered as the deity of performing arts (Geinō), attracting numerous celebrities, actors, singers, and artists who pray for success and fame in their careers. Visit this shrine to see the beloved pirates' names listed amongst Japan's entertainers, and to pray for good fortune and artistic success!
