Katsura River Floodplain Park (桂川河川敷公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Katsura River's floodplain unfolds along the path from Arashiyama toward the JSDF Camp. A well-maintained riverside promenade allows leisurely walking while feeling the river's presence nearby. In summer afternoons, the breeze crossing the water is refreshing, making it ideal for strolling and resting. After walking through the temple gardens, refresh yourself in the riverside breeze.

Tips

From Tenryu-ji, walk or take a bus south along the riverside. Some sections lack shade, so an umbrella or hat is recommended. Footpaths are sometimes uneven, so comfortable walking shoes are advised.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour. The breeze becomes noticeably cooler as evening approaches.
