[[Image:Horikawa.jpg|right|thumb|320px|A section of the Horikawa today.]]
*''Japanese'': 堀川 ''(horikawa)''
The Horikawa is a river in [[Kyoto]] which was a major transport route during the [[Heian period]].
The river is today sunken and partially covered. It is flanked on both sides by the road known as Horikawa-dôri, which was originally known as Horikawa-kôji when it was built in the Heian period. Many lumber merchants, including some who transported lumber up to Kyoto from [[Tamba province]] along the [[Katsuragawa]], resided in one area alongside the river.
