Take a short journey with us, to experience summer along the Shimanto River

Life in Shimanto follows the slow but gracious timeline of the seasons. Away from factories and highways, the clear river snakes among little hidden valleys that glow green with rice fields. In the lush forests along the riverside, it often feels like you could spot one of the local kami (gods of the natural world) gathering flowers, cooling their feet in a trickling brook... or listening to the laughter of those rafting down the river!
