Shimanto river is one of the most famous rivers in Japan
and possibly beyond boundary for its outstanding natural environment
and exceptional water quality. The river for its entirety
is certified as one of Japan's 100 remarkable waters by Ministry
of Environment.
It is very difficult, if not impossible, to find appropriate
adjectives correctly describing the massive natural offerings
that this great river of 200 km length brings. So legitimate
that the river has other recognitions such as "100 great
water areas" and "100 remarkable forests of water
sources".
The water flow is heaven also for Ayu sweetfish, basses, and
other various kinds of fish. Visitors can easily encounter
traditional fishing style using small boats.
