Bamboo groves have formed the beautiful landscape as the essential element for the Japanese scenery since long ago, and have been maintained and managed as the landscape resources. Especially in Kyoto, the green given by bamboo groves have played an important part in making a lovely effect on the landscape of temples and shrines. They have been the landscape resources, and have been the resources of tourism as well. The authors intend to clarify how the maintained and managed bamboo groves affect the landscape in Arashiyama-Sagano district, the famous tourist area in Kyoto. They are approaching the landscape of bamboo groves with analysis from both the broad and detailed point of view by using the geo-information technology.
