81. Walk The Bamboo Forest In Japan

This exotic grass soars high into the sky creating the ultimate grove of peacefulness and tranquility. The Arashiyama bamboo forest has been inspiring artists for centuries, plus been an integral part of iconic Japanese workshop products. It’s been used in everything from teahouses to baskets, and chopsticks among a hundred other things for a good reason.

Bamboo itself has been reported to have a stronger tensile strength than steel alloys, not to mention a better compression strength than concrete. To put that in perspective, homes built from bamboo have lasted through 9.0 magnitude earthquakes without suffering any damage.

Another interesting note about Bamboo is that it can grow four feet within just under 24 hours. In comparison, the average tree will take around 30-50 years to re-grow fully after being cut.
