Water play in the clear stream flowing through the mountains

About this spot

The Hiromi River flowing through the center of Kihoku Town is known as a clear stream connected to the Shimanto River system. On the riverbank around the Chikayoshi district, you'll see local families enjoying water play during summer, and the pristine water feels refreshingly cool even in the height of summer. It's a time to relax freely in a quiet environment surrounded by countryside mountains.
