Kiyotaki is in Mt.Atago and the popular destination for children to swim in the river. The place is also popular among people hiking and trecking by the Kiyotaki River.
We got on the 92 Kyoto bus at Nonomiya bus stop at 8:03.
It takes around 20minutes to get to Kiyotaki Bus Stop from Nonomiya by bus.
We started walking from the Toen Bridge.
Toen means crossing monkeys.
Then we walked into the village and went down to the path along the river.
By the river, we found the stone monument scribed with the famous poem made by Matsuo Basho;“Kiyotaki ya Nami ni chirikomu Ao-matsuba”, said to be his last poem.
We went along the river for about 40 minutes. It’s very cool and we had very refreshing time walking there.
We met only a few people there, and the path ended at Ochiai.
From Ochiai, we walked to Tori-i-moto(the place where is the first gate of Atago Shrine) on the paved road.
We got to Okusaga around 9:30.
It was very short trip from a city area, but we enjoyed wonderful nature a lot.
We had green tea and Sakura-mochi at Tsutaya, an inn and restaurant with long history, and went home.
