The Submersible Bridges of Shimanto River in Japan | 四万十川の沈下橋 4K

Subscribe to my channel here. Thank you so much for a thumb-up!

#japan #shikoku #shimanto

Behind the scenes:
The Shimantogawa is a 196 kilometer long river in the heartland of Shikoku. Being remote from big cities and having no dams it is also called «Japan’s last clear stream». The landmark of the river are its submersible bridges that are made without railings in order to withstand floods. They call it «chinkabashi» in Japan. The Shimantogawa area is also a perfect place a bicycle tour. You can rent a bicycle at Ekawasaki station and ride 40 kilometers along the river to Nakamura / Shimanto. It’s a downhill ride. I made this tour in May 2018.

Technical infos:
I used a DJI Mavic Pro drone for the aerial shots and fixed a DJI Osmo+ (the DJI Osmo Pocket didn’t exist at the time) and a Crystal Sky display on the front of my bicycle.

Shimanto river

Parrot BebopDroneで四万十川河口から上流まで空撮。

The Shimanto River (四万十川 Shimanto-gawa?) is a river in western Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. 196 km in length, it has a watershed of 2,270 km². Its name is written with kanji meaning forty thousand and ten.

Since the river is remote from major cities and does not have any dams, it is sometimes referred to as the last clear stream of Japan. Fishing and production of nori is a thriving industry along the river. It has been named one of the Three Clear-Flowing Rivers in Japan, along with the Nagara River in Gifu Prefecture and the Kakita River (柿田川 Kakita-gawa) in Shizuoka Prefecture.

The river also has 47 chinkabashi (沈下橋 lit. 'sinking bridge') including those of tributaries. Chinkabashi are low water crossings without parapets in order not to be washed away by floods. The prefecture decided to preserve them as cultural heritages.

Niyodo River, nature walks + natural action

The Niyodo River’s spellbinding “Niyodo Blue” pools grace the cover of many pamphlets and guide books, but those who merely come to snap a few pictures before moving on miss so much of what this region has to offer.

Relaxed stays at a traditional Japanese farmhouse in a tiny village, high above the valley floor, offer peace, calm and dining under star-studded skies. Local guides who know the area’s river system like the back of their hands take you on thrilling canyoning experiences and hikes through hidden gorges, followed by sampling local craft beers brewed on the riverside.
