Settosu River

The Settosu River [禁溶免; せっとす・み] is a river located in central Uchi Prefecture. It originates in the foothills of Mount Yoshi in the Niryō Mountains and flows northwards through the settlements of Koroba, Ihana and Atama. It is the third-longest river in the prefecture. The Mizume River is its largest tributary. Its name literally means 'river of melting ice'.
Like many rivers in Uchi, the Settosu provides vital irrigation for the growing of rice and other crops along its banks, as well as being a source of fresh water. The Settosu Bridge crosses the river at the border between Koroba and Ihana. The Settosu also flows through the southern reaches of the Aiwa National Park, which is the largest in the prefecture.
