River play in the clear stream of Doshi Village until evening
About this spot
The Doshi River (道志川) is a clear stream flowing through Doshi Village, Minamitsuru District, and its high water clarity makes it a cherished spot for fishing and river play. It is accessible from behind Michi-no-Eki Doshi, and while the facilities are open from 9:00 to 18:00, the riverbed itself is accessible at all times. In a quiet setting enclosed by deep mountains, families can enjoy unhurried water play to the murmur of the river.
Season & hours

Date & time: 施設9:00–18:00(トイレは24時間使用可)。裏手の道志川河原は常時アクセス可

Tips
As a mountain stream the water is quite cold, so playing during the hours when the sun is high is recommended. The rocks are slippery, so prepare river shoes. Picking up drinks and a change of clothes at the roadside station before heading over keeps things smooth.
Best time to visit
From around 11:00 onward, when the sun warms the water, suits river play best
