Kasagi Campsite In Kyoto
About the Kasagi Campsite Camera
Kasagi is a small town at the southern edge of Kyoto Prefecture, where the Kizu River cuts through wooded hills on its way toward Nara. This camera is run by the riverside campsite there, so it shows the state of the river and the camping ground itself.
The town is known for Mount Kasagi above it. The slopes carry some of the best maples in the area, and the mountain holds a temple site with huge rock-carved Buddhist images, cut into the cliff faces centuries ago. In autumn the hillside above the river turns completely.
The camera has a practical side too. River level and weather decide whether riverside camping is sensible on a given weekend, and this view answers both. The operator notes that open fires are not allowed anywhere on the site, so a fire stand is required.
