Ashi River

The Ashi River [沈免; あし・み] is a river located in north-western Aoma Prefecture. It is the second-longest river in the prefecture and its sources lies in the far northern foothills of the Migai Hills, along the coast of Fugan Peninsula. The Ashi has one main tributary, the Shiashi River, from which a number of smaller branches spread across the land.
The Ashi River runs directly through Onzu, Mesame and into Yōshō, where it deposits into Lake Ashi. It has provided fresh water for the area for centuries. Yōshō's association with large-scale rice farming and crop production is a result of the abundance of irrigation which the Ashi offers.
