What other travelers are saying about Kagami River

This is the view from the north side (towards Yamauchi Shrine) after the rain. high. The water quality of the river is good and crucian carp are also swimming. There's also a peaceful promenade, so I thought it might be a good idea to walk around a bit. Hello. However, heavy rain can cause water to be released from the dam, so please be careful. Hi.
