On a 2-day, 1-night trip, we visited mainly the southwestern part of Kochi Prefecture to see water lilies, irises and more. It&#8217;s the Part 1 of the trip. From Matsuno-cho in Ehime Prefecture to Shimanto City in Kochi Prefecture. The flow of the clear Shimanto River. We bypassed the construction site and crossed the Iwama Chinkabashi (sinking bridge). Sinking bridges are designed without railings from the outset, in anticipation of the bridge sinking during floods. It symbolizes a way of life that is in harmony with nature. Return to Route 441 from the detour and head south. Part of the road is narrow. At the Katsuma Chinkabashi, we go down to the riverbank. The beautiful flow of the Shimanto River, one of Japan&#8217;s three major clear streams. Cross the red iron bridge near the mouth of the Shimanto River and head west. Arrival at &#8220;Dragonfly Park&#8221; in Shimanto City. At the entrance, there is a museum called &#8220;Akitsuio&#8221; where we can learn about the fish and dragonflies of the Shimanto River basin. Let&#8217;s take a stroll through the Dragonfly park in the back. The Dragonfly Park is engaged in conservation activities such as creating artificial ponds to provide habitats for dragonflies. We can observe many kinds of dragonflies and enjoy seasonal flowers and plants. In June, irises and water lilies are beautiful. We can take a stroll along the observation trail. A dragonfly right away! It is a nature reserve where the collection of flora and fauna is prohibited. The people here are creating an environment rich in biodiversity through active human intervention. It&#8217;s a scene that feels somehow nostalgic. A red dragonfly! A dragonfly as thin as a thread. Let&#8217;s go to the water lily ponds. * Water lilies bloom in the morning, so some of the footage is from the following morning. With climate change becoming increasingly apparent, human intervention may be essential to protect the natural environment. Let&#8217;s take a look at the fish area of &#8220;Akitsuio&#8221; (admission fee required). Here, we can see Japanese lates and other fish from the Shimanto River system, as well as freshwater and brackish water fish from Japan and overseas. Young fish of Japanese lates. Giant mottles eel: So big. Pirarucu: One of the largest freshwater fish in the world. A unique white fish. Goliath tigerfish: Sharp teeth. Bester sturgeon: artificially bred for caviar production. Beautifully colored fish. Axolotl. &#8220;Akitsuio&#8221; trainee director &#8220;Kuro&#8221;. Let&#8217;s leave the Dragonfly Park. Arrival at Yasunami Waterwheels in the Yasunami district of Shimanto City. The waterwheels over the waterway (Shikamura-mizo) that brings water to nearby villages. They were installed during the Edo period to pump water into rice paddies. Currently, dozens of waterwheels have been installed for tourism purposes, creating a peaceful landscape. The hydrangeas along the waterway are beautiful. We can hear goats bleating. A male baby goat named &#8220;Chao&#8221; was born in April this year. Also, a female &#8220;Ribbon&#8221;. Chao is friendly and comes up to us. Ribbon is watching us from a little distance. Chao in relaxation mode. A refreshing early summer landscape. Let&#8217;s leave the Yasunami Waterwheels. We&#8217;re heading to a business hotel in the city. In the evening, we had a toast at an Japanese pub. Thank you for driving! Thank you for watching. Continued to the Part 2.

We went on a two-day, one-night trip to see water lilies and irises, mainly in the southwestern part of Kochi Prefecture. This is the first part of our travel video. We drove from Matsuno Town in Ehime Prefecture to Shimanto City in Kochi Prefecture. We headed south along the Shimanto River toward the river mouth. There are many Chinkabashi (sinking bridge) without railings preserved along the Shimanto River. Crossing them is a bit thrilling.<\/p>\n<p>First, we went to &#8220;Dragonfly Park&#8221; in Shimanto City. Here, they are engaged in conservation activities by artificially creating ponds and environments where dragonflies can live. In June, the irises and water lilies are beautiful. We can observe various types of dragonflies. The natural environment is so rich that it is hard to believe it was created by human hands.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we head to the Yasunami Waterwheels in the Yasunami district of Shimanto City. During the Edo period, many waterwheels were installed to pump water into rice paddies. Today, a dozen or so waterwheels have been installed for tourism purposes, creating a peaceful landscape. The beautiful hydrangeas along the waterway and the cute baby goats are also soothing.
