If you google the Shimanto River, the top images you will find are those of the area in its summer glory. The mountains are lush green, locals are fishing, giddy outdoor enthusiasts on special tours are jumping off the chinkabashi (submersible bridges), and more! However, in reality the Shimanto River has many more equally glorious faces year-round
Unlike the warmer months characterized by bursts of energy, laughter and movement, the Shimanto River is now quiet and blissful. Perhaps the river feels even more bold and dynamic during the winter because the quiet enables us to pause and truly take it all in
In any season, on any day, the Shimanto River is worth a visit
