Downriver view from Uji Bridge

The view from Uji Bridge,
along the riverside at the purification site,
is very impressive for most pilgrims.
Pilgrims often stop on the bridge to
watch the sacred Isuzu River.

 　

Cherry blossoms in spring and colorful leaves in autumn make for exquisite scenery against clear water."
(A 56 year-old woman)
Isuzu River, which is also called Mimosuso River, is known for its pellucid waters. It gives the surrounding area a holy, sacred atmosphere.

Spring brings cherry blossoms and autumn colorful foliage. Although the cherry blossoms and autumn foliage used to be more abundant in years past, spring and autumn are still highly popular times to visit.
