The Kakitagawa River is one of three cleaner rivers in Japan.
The length of the river is just 1.2 kilometers, but due to cleanness, it is a well-known river in Japan.
The origin of the Kakitagawa River is located at the end of a lava plateau, which was made by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Fuji 8,500 years ago. Spring water comes from the circles shown in the below picture. These are the sources of the Kakitagawa River.
Rain falls onto Mt. Fuji penetrates in lava plateaus and run through a lava plateau.
It takes approximately twenty-five to thirty years.
Lava plateaus filtrate water from rain. So, the spring water from the lava plateau is very clean.
The view from the second observation platform of the Kakitagawa River is beautiful.
In 1970s, a chemical factory was located in this place to take an advantage of spring water.
The wasted water emitted from the factory made the Kakitagawa River very dirty.
National trust movements started to conserve natural environment and to make the Kakitagawa River clean in 1980s.
With these efforts, the Kakitagawa River is now one of the cleanest rivers in Japan.
You will be refreshed and relaxed with this view.
The Kakitagawa River is designated as a Natural Monument of Japan.
