About
Yoshikigawa is a tranquil stream flowing through Nara Park, offering a peaceful escape from the crowded temple areas. Lined with lush maple and cherry trees, it provides a stunning natural backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. Visitors can expect a quiet, scenic stroll along its banks, often catching glimpses of Nara's famous bowing deer drinking from the clear waters.
Insider Tip
Follow the stream path toward the Yoshikien Garden entrance for some of the best, crowd-free photo spots of the autumn foliage.
