Cormorant fishing is a seasonal sight on the Uji River.Two female cormorant fishermen show off their skills.July to late SeptemberI wonder if the herons are trying to get scraps of food from the top of the breeding hut?You can often see herons on the Uji River.Children will love buying sweets from a candy store called "Time Slip" (Osakaya Market Building) on the Ujibashi-dori shopping street and eating them on Tower Island.They will also enjoy searching for stones in the gravel and collecting pine cones.There are plenty of benches to sit on, so it's nice to watch the scenery surrounded by the Uji River and the JR trains passing over the river.
