The Katsura River is a beautiful and expansive river located in Kyoto Prefecture in Japan. It is the continuation of two other rivers, the Hozu River and the Ōi River. The scenic Togetsukyo Bridge can be seen along it's route, and it passes through agricultural areas, shrines, and the bustling city. There are numerous activities available along the banks such as barbecues, fishing, and sightseeing. Tourists flock to this picturesque spot year round, taking advantage of all it has to offer.
