Far backcountry life in Japan

Nakagawa is the river flowing down center of Nakagawa-machi. Since one of my hobbies is kayaking, I went down the river. I went down Nakagawa approx 5-6 times in last 20 years, but this year, I saw a lot of salmons. This is first time to see so many salmons running up a river. Many in a swift current of a river, many jumping over a river and many dead in the bottom of a river. Anyway, it was nice river trip.
