Shimanto River, Kochi: Japan's Best Secret Place

The Shimanto River is a river in western Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. Since the river is remote from major cities and does not have any dams, it is sometimes referred to as "the last clear stream of Japan". Running from the high mountains down to the sea, the Shimanto River’s clear waters not only welcome visitors looking to experience unspoiled nature, but also are an essential part of preserving Shimanto area traditions and food culture. ◎Twitter   / lehmanyuzuru
