The “Fukuroi Canal” in Itano Town is a historic irrigation canal drawn about 400 years ago in the early Edo period to save farmers suffering from water shortages. To this day, clear water flows steadily, continuing to support regional agriculture. The surrounding area is maintained as the “Fukuroi Public Space,” with a promenade along the waterside ideal for a leisurely stroll while enjoying seasonal landscapes. Especially in summer, the cool flow of water heals visitors, providing a sense of emotion as a “living heritage” closely integrated into local life. While not a large-scale tourist site, it’s a quiet strolling spot that cleanses the heart for travelers wanting to touch the wisdom and efforts of Japanese ancestors and the beautiful scenery of rural villages living with water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
