自転車で京都高瀬川These are the "head waters" of the Takase River, in central Kyoto.
The canal was dug in 1611 and used to ship goods south, towards Fushimi, Uji, and Osaka.
With the advent of the steam engine and railroads, traffic on the canal came to a halt.
Today it flows softly by Kiyamachi, a north-south street that has a lot of bars, restaurants, and other types of establishments.
It is lined with cherry trees, which are just starting to peek out.
