Spring Walk Along Kiyotaki River

#springitinerary If you're craving a lowkey, nature-soaked escape, the Kiyotaki River walk in spring is amazing. It’s tucked just outside Kyoto, near Arashiyama, and feels like a secret trail locals don’t want tourists to find. The path follows the river, winding through lush forest, with birds chirping and water flowing, total ASMR in real life. In spring, everything’s fresh and green, with the occasional cherry blossom adding that soft pink pop. The air’s super crisp, and there’s this calming soundtrack of rustling leaves and rushing water the whole way. It’s not a tough walk, more like a slow wander that makes you forget what day it is. You might spot a shrine or two along the way, plus moss-covered rocks that look straight out of a fantasy movie. No crowds, no rush, just pure nature vibes. Honestly, it’s the perfect spring stroll if you wanna fully chill out.
