Kamogawa, Kyoto

Kamogawa
The Kamo river (kamogawa) runs through Kyoto, historically providing an important water supply, but also now allowing people to relax and enjoy nature whilst still being in the heart of the city. It is said the rivers course was diverted to its current location when the palace was constructed in the 8th century when Kyoto was the Heian Capital.
