Stroll the Katsura River's Banks and Cool Off in the River Breeze
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.

Date & time: 7/22 (Wed) 19:50–20:00
Venue: 京都市西京区・陸上自衛隊桂駐屯地
2026年7月22日(水)開催、陸上自衛隊桂駐屯地の夏祭りを締めくくる打ち上げ花火です。19時50分から20時までのわずか10分間に、花火が一気に打ち上がります。短い時間に凝縮されているからこそ、瞬きする間も惜しいほどの密度で夜空を彩ります。地域の夏祭りらしいアットホームな雰囲気の中で見上げる花火は、大きな会場とはまたひと味違う魅力があります。
Tips
荒天時は中止または内容変更の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は事前に確認しましょう。花火は短時間で終了するため、開始時刻を逃さないよう時間に余裕を持って待機を。終了後は周辺道路が混み合うため、時間差での帰宅がおすすめです。
