Kamogawa River Cool Floor

Feel the coolness along the Kamo River - a Kyoto summer tradition

The specially set-up box seats jutting out along the Kamo River from Nijo to Gojo are a sight that symbolizes summer in Kyoto. There are rows of shops where you can enjoy a meal or a cafe break while feeling the flow of the river and the breeze.
At night, the lights of the shops are reflected on the surface of the river, creating a fantastical atmosphere.
