River play until evening in touch with the flow of the Hozugawa River
About this spot
Kawa-no-Eki Kameoka Waterside Park (川の駅・亀岡水辺公園) is a waterside park developed along the Hozugawa River (保津川) in Hozu-cho, Kameoka City. Affected by a fire that broke out on June 18, 2026, the facility is currently resuming operations in stages. Set amid the nature of the Hozukyo Gorge, its appeal is being able to play in the water while in touch with the river's flow, though operating conditions may change depending on the season. When you visit, check the latest situation via Kameoka City's official information before heading out. Rather than the morning when the water is still cold, the hours after noon, when the sun is high, are more comfortable.
