The "Kushida River" flowing through central Mie Prefecture creates beautiful valley beauty called "Kahada-kyo" due to its purity. In the upper reaches, you can enjoy dynamic landscapes woven by deep emerald green pools and massive rocks, and activities such as canoeing and river trekking are popular. Villages retaining the atmosphere of old highways are scattered along the basin, and enjoying a drive or cycling while listening to the murmuring of the river is exceptional. It is a beautiful natural corridor where healing and power coexist, created by Japan's rich water resources.
