The promenade along the Kamo River in Kyoto is a homage to
water. A series of paths and terraces from the pedestrian sidewalk,
flanked with cherry trees, lead to a path next to the river. Every
now and then you find yourself walking below bridges, next to
promenades, decks, ramps or exits, which are accessible from the
upper level of the grove. The road is always accompanied by the
sound of water, whose discourse has been channeled through small
dams that allow water to decrease its kinetic energy, lessening the
risk of flooding and providing an amusing spectacle of small
waterfalls along the river.
