Kamogawa Delta (Kyoto Prefectural Kamogawa Park)
Kamo River Delta (also known as Kamogawa Delta) is a famous spot in Kyoto where the Kamo River and Takano River meet. The two rivers form a beautiful triangular area with stepping stones across the water, a favorite place for locals to relax and for visitors to enjoy scenic views. It’s especially popular in the evening and during cherry blossom season.
