Our guide
The Shimanto River is a Class A river in western Kōchi Prefecture, 196 km long with a catchment of some 2,270 km². Our source says little more than that, so this page is short, and we would rather say so than fill it out.
The river is long, so where you go matters. We have not checked particular places along it or a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
