ITINERARY
Kamogawa River
The Kamo River runs through the heart of Kyoto — a scenic and tranquil waterway lined with cherry blossom trees and rich in history. We start here for photos and an intro to the area.
Kamogawa Delta
Where the Kamo and Takano Rivers meet. Famous for its stepping stones ("tobiishi") — a beloved spot that appears in countless Japanese animations. Jump across and get the shot.

Demachi Masugata Shopping Street
A charming covered arcade in the Demachi area. Nostalgic atmosphere, local sweets, and fresh produce. A slice of everyday Kyoto life most tourists never see.

A sacred woodland within the Shimogamo Shrine grounds — roughly 12 hectares of ancient forest that has remained largely untouched for centuries. One of the most atmospheric spots in Kyoto.
