In recent years, I have visited many cherry blossom viewing temples in downtown Kyoto. The cherry blossom scenery is beautiful, but the crowds of cherry blossom viewing are also quite turbulent, and the beauty will be exhausted. Later, a river-themed cherry blossom viewing trip was specially arranged for the waterway. There are cherry blossom viewing spots along the coast. The long waterway can not only evacuate the cherry blossom viewing crowds, but also leisurely get up with friends to have a cherry blossom picnic. It is suitable for those who love a leisurely cherry blossom viewing journey. We are walking through Osaka Sayama Pond, Nara Takada River, After the embankment of Yawata City and the Fushimi Canal in Kyoto, you will come to the Nanatani River Sakura Tunnel in Kameoka City.
Transportation: How to get to Nanyagawa Sakura Park from Kameoka Station?
At the North Exit of Kameoka Station, you can take the F11 bus from Tsutobus in Tsukioka City to Nanatani River. The Kameoka City Bus has been in operation since April 2005. It is usually used as a commute to work and school. The fare is one-way 4/150 yen, you can use ICOCA, PiTaPa, Suica, PASMO and other IC transportation cards.
Just because the F11 bus is a commuter bus, the interval between the buses is more than 1 hour. During the cherry blossom viewing period, a special cherry blossom viewing bus will be opened. It will go directly from the north exit of Kameoka Station to the first three stations of Hesagono Pass, Nanayagawa and Izumo Shrine, saving money It saves time.
赏樱专车最大缺点就是仅有周末假日营运，2018年(平成30年)仅有3/31、4/1、4/7、4/8四天营运。若是平常日前往，除F11路线巴士外，建议可在车站南北口呼叫出租车前往，单程车资约1600日圆，4.4公里路程，约10分钟可达。

The Gentle Way of Nanaya River: Famous Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Kameoka City
Kameoka City is adjacent to Kyoto City. After passing through Kyoto's Arashiyama, Kameoka City is located. The two are bordered by Hozukyo Station.Kameoka City’s cherry blossom viewing spots are different from Kyoto. Most of them are natural rivers and parks, including Nanyagawa River and Misato Road, Tsushima Castle Site, Tsukaoka Sports Park, Nango Park, Heiwadai Park, Yunohana Hot Springs, Hiranosawa Park, Hozu River Valley and other places.
Kameoka Station is the best transportation base for viewing cherry blossoms in Kameoka City. You can walk from the south exit of Kameoka Station to the site of Kameyama Castle and Nanyo Park, and you can walk from the north exit of the station to the boarding point of Hozugawa Shimori. , And the Nanatani River and らぎ Road that I visited this time are located about 4.4 kilometers north of Kameoka Station.
For those who like to chase the cherry blossoms, take the JR Sanin Main Line from Kyoto Station to Kameoka Station. You can walk to Kameyama Castle Site and Nango Park near the south exit of the station to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and then take a bus to Nanyagawa River and Road to Kameoka. To enjoy the cherry blossoms, you will go directly to the Hozugawa River Boat Yard at the North Exit and take a boat down the river to enjoy the cherry blossoms along the Hozu River, ensuring a compact and fulfilling cherry blossom journey.

Cherry blossom viewing experience on the soft path of Nanya River
The Nanaya River and Jono Road are about 1 kilometer long. Approximately 1,500 cherry blossom trees are planted along the road along the Nanya River, forming a spectacular and beautiful cherry blossom tunnel. The entrance to the Wajo Road is right next to the bus stop. The Sakura Park also has 28 kinds of approximately 280 cherry trees planted, making it the most spectacular cherry blossom viewing spot in Kameoka City.
The Hejo Road starts from the entrance, and next to it are Sakura Park, Kameoka City Gymnasium, and Nanyagawa Wood Factory. There is only one Chifuku Japanese restaurant in the surrounding area. However, during the cherry blossom viewing period, there will be mobile vendors selling food here. There will be night cherry lighting activities.If there are a lot of people for cherry blossom viewing, you can actually walk across the bridge and turn left into the cherry blossom trail on the opposite bank of Hejuzhidao. Although there are fewer cherry trees, you can take a leisurely stroll and take pictures. At that time, there were also people taking wedding dresses.
Although the cherry blossom tunnels of Nanya River and Joujido are beautiful, when the cherry blossoms are crowded, it is inevitable to take pictures leisurely. At this time, we choose to get off at the bus stop and turn right into the upstream camping area next to the Qifu restaurant. I saw many people bringing their families and their families on a barbecue picnic here. It was so leisurely. I had already prepared picnic mats and food and went for a picnic under the cherry tree.
