On a day out in Takao, western Kyoto, friends and I cycled west from Ninnaji Temple towards a cooler spot.
The ride is about 20 minutes along Route 162 until a small, old-fashioned rest stop of sorts.
On the right is a restaurant, on the left side of the road is a gift shop. Beyond that is a parking lot.
This is the entrance for those who want to head down to the Kiyotaki River or Jingoji Temple.
We parked our bikes in the lot, and from there hiked down about 20 minutes to a spot where we could swim.
The waters were clear and cool - when the sun disappeared behind the clouds it was even cold.
However, for the first time in many trips, we saw cyclists along the trail.
A group of perhaps twenty young people - a university group from the looks of it - were navigating the somewhat rocky trail.
While we snacked and swam, the bikes bounced by on the trail.
