Uji River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Uji River runs through the city of Uji, Kyoto, in Kyoto Prefecture.
Its source is Lake Biwa, though it is known as the Seta River until it comes close to Uji. It then combines with the Kizu River and the Katsura River to become the Yodo River.
The Uji river is a popular fishing spot during the summer and fall months.
The Uji River maintains a prominent place in the so-called Uji-Chapters of the Tale of Genji, a novel written by the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century.
