Kamo River Scenic Day Trip

The Kamo River offers picturesque views along its banks, with cherry blossoms blooming in spring, crystal-clear waters in summer, and vibrant red and yellow maple leaves in autumn. The scenery changes beautifully throughout the seasons. Conveniently located, it requires no admission fee, making it a perfect spot to recharge and relax while enjoying the natural atmosphere.

Must-Do Activities & Photo Spots:
1. Riverside Walkway: Multiple resting benches are set along the river, allowing you to quietly enjoy the flowing water and mountain views.
2. Riverside Picnic: Bring your own snacks or convenience store bento and enjoy a leisurely afternoon by the river.
3. Summer Water Play: Some sections of the river have gentle currents suitable for wading, but always prioritize safety.

Travel Tips:
- For photography, visit during early morning or sunset for better lighting and fewer crowds.
- Bring a jacket during spring and autumn as temperatures can vary significantly between morning and evening.
- During the rainy season, check the weather as some low-lying areas may experience flooding.
- There are no trash bins along the route, as many areas are nature reserves. Please bring a bag to carry out your trash.

Important Notes:
- It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the city center to the river, and it’s easy to find.
- Some parts of the riverside paths may not be suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. If traveling with children, opt for easier routes.
