Hozu River

The river begins in the mountains near Kameoka, a town northwest of Kyoto City.

It snakes into the Arashiyama section of western Kyoto before changing its name to Katsura River.

The Hozu River is considered scenic, and is known primarily for its association with Hozugawa Kudari, literally "down the Hozu river", a sightseeing whitewater boat that goes downstream from Kameoka to Arashiyama.

In August, 2006, a rock fell from the mountains that line the river and hit a woman on the head, seriously injuring her.
