Kyoto Bamboo Fence Team-Building Project

Kyoto Bamboo Fence Team-Building Project

Bring your team together through a hands-on cultural project with Kyoto bamboo artisans. Participants work side by side to build a section of traditional bamboo fencing for a temple or cultural site, learning how bamboo is selected, prepared, tied, and shaped to harmonize with the surrounding landscape.

The completed fence is installed on site and may remain part of the grounds for ten to twenty years, turning a corporate visit into a lasting contribution to Kyoto’s cultural landscape. Projects are tailored to the venue, group size, and objectives. The listed group price is a starting price; please contact us for a proposal.
