Nasae River

The Nasae River [洒标免; なさえ・み] is a river located in northern Zōhai Prefecture on Daizō Island. It is the longest river in the prefecture, running through the cities of Saimaku, Handai and the town of Monchi. The Nasae finds its source in the foothills of the southern Hamari Mountains, and runs down to the coast, where it empties into Nasae Bay.
The landscape and human activities along the Nasae River, especially the hard life of tenant farmers, are described in the novel River Frogs published in 1929 by the writer Sokashi Aru.
