This bamboo-lined path, selected as one of the best footpaths in Japan, features eight different types of bamboo fencing extending over a total of 1.8 kilometers. They include Takeho-gaki, made with thin bamboo branches; Kofun-gaki, round shaped fences that symbolize the shape of the nearby Terado Otsuka Kofun tumulus; and Kaguya-gaki, designed with the kimono collars of Princess Kaguya (main character in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter) in mind.

Bamboo shoots in Muko City are produced through a special cultivating method involving a huge amount of loving care. They are well known for their top quality, exhibiting a firm and crisp texture. Visitors can take part in a bamboo shoot digging experience held in spring (March to late April) with the assistance of local farmers. Another fun program is bamboo craft making, such as flower baskets, as the city is well known for its beautiful bamboo crafts.
