I tried to take this picture with a wide-angle lens, looking up from below. The roar of the bamboo was wonderful. Wakatake no Mori, Wakayama Farm, located in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a tourist spot known for its beautiful scenery of magnificent bamboo groves. Stepping into this farm, one can feel a sense of tranquility and healing greenery, as if one has wandered into another world. Especially in spring, many visitors come to enjoy the youthful bamboo grove and bamboo shoot picking. The bamboo grove at Wakayama Farm looks different in each of the four seasons, but spring is a particularly good time to visit. The lush green bamboo sprouting new shoots and soft light shining through the gaps between the bamboos is truly an art created by nature. Walking through this bamboo grove, the sound of the bamboo rustling in the wind is soothing and calming, and the hustle and bustle of the city is forgotten. For photography enthusiasts, this is also an ideal spot to take pictures. The sense of depth and the shades of green in the bamboo grove make it possible to take fantastic photographs.
