高知県いの町の波川公園周辺で開催される「仁淀川紙のこいのぼり」は、特産の不織布で作られた約200匹のこいのぼりが清流・仁淀川を泳ぐイベントで、1995年に地域PRを目的に始まりました。コロナ禍を経て再開され、多くの来場者で賑わいます。会場では宝探しやアメゴ釣り大会、演奏イベント、水中こいのぼりのプレゼントなど家族向けの催しも充実。橋の上や河川敷などさまざまな視点から楽しめ、仁淀川の美しい景観と地域の魅力を体感できるイベントです。

The ‘Niyodo River Paper Koinobori’ event, held around Namikawa Park in Ino Town, Kochi Prefecture, features around 200 koinobori (carp streamers) made from the region’s speciality non-woven fabric, which appear to swim in the clear waters of the Niyodo River. The event was launched in 1995 to promote the local area. Having resumed following the COVID-19 pandemic, it now attracts large crowds of visitors. The venue offers a wealth of family-friendly activities, including a treasure hunt, a sweetfish fishing competition, musical performances and gifts of underwater carp streamers. The event can be enjoyed from various vantage points, such as the bridge and the riverbank, allowing visitors to experience the beautiful scenery of the Niyodo River and the charm of the local area.

仁淀川橋のあゆみ


五色石。仁淀川の上流域には、四国山地特有の複雑な地層が広がっています。この地域はプレートの衝突でできた場所で、

・緑色の石(緑色片岩など)
・白い石(石英など)
・黒っぽい石(泥岩・チャートなど)
・赤や茶の石(鉄分を含む岩)

といった、色も性質も異なる岩石が混ざっています。

Five-coloured stones. The upper reaches of the Niyodo River are characterised by the complex strata unique to the Shikoku Mountains. This region was formed by the collision of tectonic plates, and

・Green stones (such as green schist)
・White stones (such as quartz)
・Dark-coloured stones (such as mudstone and chert)
・Red and brown stones (rocks containing iron)

—rocks differing in both colour and composition—are found intermingled here.
