［The Kamo River Delta is the confluence of the Kamo River (Kamo River) and the Takano River. It is so called because it resembles the Greek letter Δ (delta). It is within walking distance of Keihan's Demachiyanagi Station, making it an easy place to visit. The most attractive feature of the Kamo River Delta is the stepping stones. It is cool because of its location near the water, and it is pleasant to sit on the steppingstones and enjoy a footbath, not a footbath. There are stepping stones in the shape of turtles and birds, giving the area a Kyoto-like atmosphere.

There are three main things to keep in mind when playing in the Kamogawa Delta: First, bring swim shoes. The stepping stones are hot at certain times of the day, and the wide intervals between them make it difficult for small children to cross them all. In such cases, swim shoes are useful for both jabbing and jumping. Second, it is safer to stay away from the river on rainy days or the day after that. Stepping stones are slippery when wet, and when the water is rising, they may sink into the river and not be visible. Remember that you are playing in the river, and in some cases, it is important to have the courage not to play.

Third, there is basically no shade, so heat stroke countermeasures such as bringing a hat and cutting out after a short time are essential. Under the bridge is an excellent resting spot, where birds come to take a break, and it is so relaxing that you forget you are in the middle of the city. Enjoy the luxury of a river cruise in Kyoto, a tourist city that attracts people from all over the world.

This very popular restaurant is located in the Demachi Masugata Shopping Arcade, a 5-minute walk from Kamogawa Delta. You can walk to the restaurant through the arcade, so you don't have to worry even on hot days. One of the reasons to visit LION KITCHEN with children is the mural painted by picture book author Tomonori Taniguchi. We want to capture the smiling faces of children on camera at the restaurant, where they will feel like they are dining with lions, rabbits, and other animals. The menu includes the famous hamburger steak and other dishes from a cute menu that looks like something out of a picture book, and a children's lunch for 700 yen is also available.

The menu also includes a variety of recommended summer dishes, such as a summer vegetable bean curry doria for 1,300 yen. Enjoy cool desserts from a wide selection, such as a mixed juice smoothie made in collaboration with Inoue Fruit Shop, a long-established store in Demachi Masugata Shopping Arcade (600 yen), lion pudding made with brand eggs (400 yen), and moist banana cake ice cream (550 yen).

The Kamo River Delta area has evolved over time into a bustling spot lined with wonderful stores. The Kamo River flows through the city of Kyoto, which is evolving day by day while retaining its former charm, and the time you spend with your children around the river will surely become an unforgettable memory. This summer, head to the Kamo River to cool off!
