Kagawara River

The Kagawara River [兼桥免; かがわら・み] is a river located in north-western Zōhai Prefecture. It flows westward from the highest slopes of Mount Hyōin before depositing into Lake Shinzu. It is known for its turbulent waters and tendency to flood during the spring. The Kagawara overlaps the cities of Kuyama and Shikima, along with the village of Ima.
A good third of the Kagawara flows down the hilly slopes of Mount Hyōin, and this section is particularly popular with experienced whitewater rafters. An offshoot of the Kagawara, located about halfway up the northern face of Mount Hyōin, is the Kanatori Waterfall. This scenic spot draws a sizeable number of tourists.
