Uji River

Reviewers frequently highlighted the beautiful river, green mountains, and the picturesque red bridge, creating a stunning visual experience.

Many were surprised by how clean the river was, even noting fish swimming in its clear waters, a contrast to its connection to Yodo River.

The river is recognized as a historic transportation route and features in classic literature like The Tale of Genji and historical battles.

Visitors enjoyed peaceful walks along the river, listening to its sounds, creating a tranquil and pleasant environment for a slow day or hike.

During July to September, traditional cormorant fishing (Ukai) on the Uji River provides a unique and engaging summer spectacle.
