  I followed the rivers of the world and continued my journey.
  I have been following such a river guide lifestyle, and like the river, like the water, I have come to Kamikawa Town, where the rivers, mountains, and people are wonderful.
  I would be happy if everyone could experience the wonder of playing in nature through river rafting and the beauty of the rivers around Daisetsuzan, which show their various faces depending on the season.
