The Shimanto River, which has few dams and boasts of its purity, is rich in minerals that spring from the mountains.
The reason why it is called Japan's last clear stream is in such a river environment.You can enjoy the umami and aroma of natural sweetfish raised in the clean Shimanto River.
Comments from developers
I want to convey the charm of Shimanto Town even a little, and I am also working on creating experience-based tourism.
This time, we took on the challenge of creating an experience and food tourism product that makes use of wild sweetfish from the Shimanto River, which was difficult to commercialize due to its high threshold.We hope that many people will learn about the charm of Shimanto Town through wild sweetfish, which are the blessings of the Shimanto River.
We are carrying out a town revitalization project with the aim of "making Shimanto Town brighter and more enjoyable."
An organization that was established on April 2, 4, with the basic philosophy of "creating a fun town" and revitalizing the community by involving many people from inside and outside the region and incorporating diverse values. is.
Community development and regional revitalization that local residents want to continue living in, and non-local residents want to visit, live in, and want local residents to continue living. The project will be carried out throughout Shimanto Town, based in the central urban area of Shimanto Town's Kubokawa district.
Currently, it is centered on the old book tourism business “Shimanto Kosho Kaido”, the “Free Atelier” that provides a place for expression to various people, and the “Town Asobi” where local residents can play together. I am active in

■ Activities
"Shimanto Old Book Road"
This is a town revitalization project that makes the town attractive by placing books collected free of charge from all over the country in vacant houses and streets in the Shimanto town of Kubokawa.
We set up a secondhand bookstore with a theme (literature, picture books, etc.) in a vacant house to display and sell.
We are also promoting the formation of attractive shopping streets by placing bookcases and bookshelves in storefronts and stores.
We are looking for old books that are no longer needed.We are always aiming for 40010 books.)
