30 minutes's drive will bring you from Kyoto town to the quiet mountain area.
There are some village along the stream since the Heian period.
Mr. Soseki Yamamoto who was essayist and tenkara-angler loved Kumogahata River.
He wrote a terrible mysterious experience of Yakushi mountain pass
to go from Kiyotakigawa to Kumogahata in his book "The Mountain Stream Storys, Mystery of Shimeiin temple".
Shimeiin temple is well known as a temple of alpine roses better than a temple of ghosts now.
The streams of Kumogahata is that I began to trout fishing for the first and I frequently went there at one time.
I had stoped to go there before 15 years because the stream was begining prominent dirt. |

I went to the streams of Kumogahata after a long time.
The streams and Amagos were alive and in good health still. But there were large trash everywhere in the streams. I was sad to find them.
The lower part of Kumogahata River is called Kamogawa River. The river is very loved among the citizens of Kyoto.
I became sad when I thought that someone in the citizens
who enjoy on the bank of Kamogawa River make dirty the upper stream of same river with their trash.
