By using the Happu road (Route 421), you can reach the upper area of Echigawa River. Firstly, walking along the Meishin expressway at the Yokaichi intersection point, you can meet a Happu road. Through the Eigenji temple where is known autumn colors, arrive at Tadehata village soon. The Echigawa river joins the Oikegawa River here.

The upper area of Oikegawa River where is known as the wooden turner originated , and they were scattered over mountains of various places from here. Prince Koretaka (The first Prince of Emperor Montoku) invented the manual potter's wheel in 859. He came here from Kyoto in order to escape from troubles of succeeding to the throne.

And Yuzurio village have become the depths of the Echigawa River now. The stream is joined Chayagawa River and Kanzakigawa River above the village. The streams have many ravines. We could fish Japanese chars there very much in Kansai at one time. If you hope to have good fishing now, it's necessary to go to more upper stream. Chayagawa River and Kanzakigawa River are light and open streams, but Oikegawa River impress dark stream to the contrary. If we don't expect to catch any fishes, we can enjoy fly fishing there.
