When I went in December, there was no water flowing in the river and it was a wasteland No sense to go

Cool with clean water. It's a good place to spend time with your kids at ankle water levels without worrying about drowning

I can play with children and dogs in the water The water was cold and very clear and beautiful

It was still June, so the toilets, hand-washing areas, etc. were not fully maintained, but the environment where you can come in contact with nature is outstanding. I think it would be even better if there were simple play equipment such as a jungle gym and a swing.

Uehara, located in the northwestern part of Omachi City, is a paddy field. The area between the Kago and Kashima rivers is where the Takase river approaches the middle reaches. The Kago and Kashima rivers join the Takase river at the southern end of Uehara. The flow of the Takase River is a place that escapes from a steep mountain canyon to a flat terrain, and there is Omachi Dam to the west of Uehara, and a huge amount of water is stored in the dam lake, Ryujin Lake. In Uehara, 282 hectares of paddy field reclamation was carried out as a project of Nagano Prefecture from 1946 to 1987 after the war. Irrigation water taken from the Kago River will be supplied to the vast paddy fields. Water taken from the Kago River is supplied to the paddy fields of Uehara as agricultural water. However, although the thaw water accumulated in the Alps is extremely abundant, the temperature is quite low and it is not suitable for rice growth-especially the growth of seedling rice after rice planting. It is said that the running water temperature of the Kabagawa River around here is around 12 ℃ even in summer. The water is so cold that it feels painful if you leave it in the water for 20 seconds. However, the water temperature is expected to rise by about 3 ° C from the intake of the Kago River to the entrance of the hot water channel. Therefore, it was necessary to devise ways to raise the water temperature before reaching the paddy fields. Here, a facility was built to raise the water temperature by solar heat by meandering a wide, shallow waterway many times. It is called "slimy" because it is an irrigation canal that warms the irrigation water. From spring to early summer, various hot water channels called "Nurume" have been devised in each region where rice is cultivated using melted snow water as a water source, but "Nurume" here is unique. The length of the Uehara hot water channel is 300 meters, and the width of the flow is 16 to 18 meters. The height difference from the floodgate to the bottom is likely to be about 2 meters, but is the slope of the channel about 2 degrees? Waterfalls are provided here and there to keep the slope minimal despite this height difference.

A place where children can play in the water. However, snowy water is cold. There is also a toilet! There is also a building like GeGeGe no Kitaro House. I think kids are fun ? Some adults bring their own BBQ.

2021/08/29 It's a good thing, but it seems that it is prohibited to use it because bears appear. disappointing

It can be very cool! There aren't many people, so you can relax! The water is a little cold, so I can't put it in for a long time, but I think I can easily cool it. Shoes and towels that can get wet are required! It might be good to have insect repellent at this time. If you have small children, I think you should change your clothes.
