Katsura River
Katsura River (桂川 Katsuragawa) is actually a continuation of 2 other rivers, Hozu River, a small, speedy river which begins in the mountains near Kameoka and then slithers through the mountains separating Kameoka and Kyoto, and Oi River (not the same Oi River in Shizuoka), which emerges from those mountains and expands into a shallow, slow flowing river until Togetsukyo Bridge in Arashiyama. From that point forward, the river is referred to as Katsura River, and its flow continues several kilometers until it joins the Kamo River and Uji River later.
