Takurako River

The Takurako River [企子免; たくらこ・み] is a river located in western Kawara Prefecture. It is the second-longest waterway in the region, surpassed only by the Takura River. It has many tributaries, the largest being Nozoki River.
The Takurako flows in a winding easterly direction from the foothills of Mount Hiki before joining with the Takura just outside the city of Kendo. At its midway point, it traverses the Mizō Hills, passing through many rocky valleys and gorges. The Doku Falls, located on Mount Doku, are a creation of the Takurako and a popular tourist spot. The Takurako itself is often used for whitewater rafting, angling, and canoeing. 
In 2017 construction of the Takurako Dam began on its lower course. The dam is expected to be complete in mid-2022, its sole purpose being flood control.
