Yoshino River

Shikoku's Second Longest River
The Yoshino River is located on the island of Shikoku, just south of the main island of Honshu and the smallest of the four principal islands of Japan. Literally translated, Shikoku means “four countries” and, in ancient times, they were known as Awa, Sanuki, Iyo and Tosa. These days their prefectural equivalents are Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime and Kochi.

The Yoshinogawa runs deep through the mountains in the center of Shikoku — a remote region near the border of Tokushima and Kochi Prefectures. Its power is attested to the spectacular deep gorges of the Iya Valley that have gradually been carved over time.

When visiting Shikoku, guests can enjoy riding along the mighty rapids in a raft or enjoy splendid sunsets along the waters. An ideal spot for rafting along the Yoshino River would be in Oboke Gorge, a gorge in the northern area of the Shikoku mountains. The river is also known for the Sensuikyo style bridges which are created to prevent the river from flooding into towns.
