When you were a child, did you play at a river? Playing at a river is a typical childhood memory. Camping, Fishing, swimming and making a tiny stone castle may have been your good memories.
This is my memorable river in my hometown. This river is not broad and not deep, but the water is so pure and clean. When I was a child, we have often played there. Fished river fishes were snacks for the children:-9
What do you have good memories of a river in your hometown?
For introducing a river safely and helpfully, we have to check some points. As examples, try to check below.
1. Confirm a weather forecast
For avoiding a flash flood and a trouble by accident, please confirm a weather forecast before going to a river if it’s fine at the time.
2. Prepare a bug repellent spray
There are a lot of kinds/numbers of bugs around the river. Some of them may be dangerous, so pay attention to them. Just in case, bringing a first aid kit is also a good idea.
3. Bringing trash bags
We should not leave any trash. And if you find trash beside the river, please pick them up and throw away. Let’s keep the clean river:-)
4. Introducing facilities
Information for restroom and store is very helpful for visitors.
5. Take a photo of a bridge
A bridge is one of the impressive and charm points of a river. Let’s introduce nostalgic or historic bridges together with a river.

皆さんは小さい頃川で遊びましたか？私はもっぱら川、山遊びばかりで 、時には現地でおやつを調達することもありました。
川は憩いのスポットであると同時に危険もある場所です。ルールを守って良い川の紹介ができるようになると良いですね:-)
ぜひ皆さんの川体験も共有して下さい。
