Motozake River

The Motozake River [鷲煮免; もとざけみ] is a river running northwards from the foothills of the Ikumo Mountains, across the Motoyama Hills and through the southern reaches of Shinkō Prefecture. The Ōkuzu Bridge allows crossing of the Motozake and creates a passage between the cities of Yamanago and Hisama. The Nankai Bridge crosses the river further north between Shitai and Hisama. 
It is thought that the Motozake was originally smaller and narrower. Its origin lies at the base of Mount Hayama. The river flows through the city of Yamanago and the town of Shitai before reaching the ocean. Along its course, the banks are lined with spacious grassy areas, making the river a popular picnic spot.
