清水川緑地

I was excited and I have a location of the original He quaint seen. Is it under management? I was disappointed that there was a place with unclean garbage.

It was a little short to walk, but I was troubled by the trees and a big carp was swimming in the river.

The story of "Kobuki fishing and his river" Once upon a time, there were bars, restaurants, public baths, and lively shops in Honmachi-dori in the area that connects Honmachi-dori, Enmeijitsu Park, and Yokaichi Station, and many people visited there. On the other hand, it was said that the crawfish was caught on the Shimizu River in front of Enmeiji Park. There was an organization called the "Shimizugawa Yuyukai" that aims to revitalize the Shimizu River. We carry out request activities and resident signature activities with the aim of revitalizing the Shimizu River. In response to this, the old Yokaichi will carry out revetment maintenance. The scenery has improved greatly. But there is a problem! !! Water does not flow ... The running water permeates the riverbed. "Shimizu River" is a river whose source is "spring water". The groundwater level is low. The water will not flow and will become a slightly damp swamp. Eventually, it becomes a suitable area for weeds. In addition, it gives off a bad smell. A sad and ruthless ending to the passion of the clear stream revival! !! However, the people of "Shimizugawa Yuyukai" were not defeated. As for the water source, pay attention to the well in the nearby shrine. It is a well that was used as agricultural water. I will come up with a method of using this as a water source. The most worrisome financial aspect was the water environment fund of TOTO, a major housing equipment manufacturer. Oumi NPO activity fund “Municipal building business subsidy” will be provided by contributions from the Shimizu-cho Residents' Association fee (“Yumizukai” was originally a voluntary group, voluntary group). The work itself is mainly done by the people of "Shimizugawa Yuyukai"! !! I was impressed when I heard this story. The desire to revive the river in my hometown. It's not just about feelings. Planning ability and action ability to steadily shape "thoughts". The sum of sympathy for the "feelings" that spread over time. An old man who once played on the clear stream of Shimizu also participated in the work with a bent waist. To regain the beautiful river in that hometown. It may not be the same as the human foot. But the old man wants to work. For the sake of the area, not for the reason why it was so high, but for my own memories. People in the landscape and construction industries who volunteer to cooperate. Young workers of TOTO. An employee of TOTO, a mature man who has come to Yokaichi several times from Kitakyushu. He eventually became known as "Hama-chan". After all, the people of Omi are excellent in their ability to "take in" others. If the word "incorporate" makes you think of craftsmanship too much, I would say it is good at "attaching to an ally". There are many people who feel the comfort of coexisting with delicate thoughts and soft demeanor. The power to be called the virtue of "Saving the spring with the people of Omi" by playing Basho Matsuo. The "Shimizu River" will be revived by gathering a lot of power around the "Shimizu Yuyukai". Nowadays, the area has become a green park with further improvement. A story about the people of Yokaichi who wants to regain "fishing his small river". It's hard to say grand, but it's a wonderful story.
