November 16, 1999. The clear stream of the Kimo River. Inagawacho, Hyogo
Prefecture.
I always feel as though I travelled to the past and get this nostalgic feeling whenever I visit the Kimo River of Inagawacho. The river, a tributary of the Inagawa (the Ina River), is a clear stream. You can enjoy 'amago' fishing as a part of the stream is being stemmed. |
A peaceful view of the Kimokawa village. |
Cosmos. At the right hand corner is a part of the motorway which is still in construction. A motorway is going to pass through this quiet, sleepy village of Kimokawa. |

The flow of the Kimo River. |
'Amago' are being set free into the flow of the Kimo River, in which minerals that were dug from a nearby mine were being washed few hundred years ago. The vacant spaces can be used for roasting the amago you've caught. |
