In the Bamagawa, which flows through Tochigi City, more than 1,000 carnivore decorations were performed to cheer up the town where tourists have decreased due to the new coronavirus.

In the midst of this, on the 3rd, the annual carnival decoration was performed at the Hamba River to cheer up the city.
On the 3rd, about 40 people including boatmen and members of the local Chamber of Commerce came out from the morning, took out a carp streamer from the warehouse, and carefully tied it to a bamboo basket about 3 meters high.
Then, on the Tomawa River, about 10 meters in width, 1151 koinobori were raised in a bath with "Ikoi", and the visitors stopped their feet and watched the kominobori swim in the wind.
A woman in her forties running a general store along the river said, "The tourists were few and the city seemed lonely, but the bright streamers went up and the city was fine."
Mr. Akio Nakamura, the captain of `` Kura no Town Pleasure Boat '', said, `` The pleasure boat is not expected to restart, but if visitors feel a little positive looking at the appearance of swimming up the stream '' .
It is said that you can enjoy the hanami River's carp stream until around 10th of next month.
