Water play in the clear river to beat the summer heat
About this spot
The banks of the Katsuura River flowing through Katsuura Town are a familiar natural spot where local families enjoy water play in summer. The clear water flowing through the mountains remains pleasantly cool even in midsummer, and simply wading in the river provides refreshment. After enjoying historical exploration at Tsururin-ji Temple, it's perfect for an active break.
