Explore the Uji River's Central Islands and Cool Off in the River Breeze
About this spot
Uji Park comprises Tower Island and Tachibana Island, floating on the Uji River. The park features Japan's largest, or one of the largest, thirteen-tiered stone pagodas. Well-maintained walking paths connect the islands via vermilion bridges, allowing you to stroll leisurely while experiencing the Uji River's flow up close. Summer is also known for the cormorant fishing season here, and numerous benches and rest shelters dot the riverside. We recommend checking out the night sky from the riverside where the fireworks will light up later.
