Kamo River Delta

鴨川デルタ

Demachiyanagi, Kyoto · 京都

The Y where the Takano and Kamo rivers join, with concrete stepping stones shaped like turtles and plovers, and a grassy bank that fills with students all summer.

Why it’s worth it

This is where Kyoto actually relaxes. Buy something from Demachi Futaba across the road, sit on the bank, and hop the turtles like everyone else does.
