Nakagawa's “Sightseeing Yana” Catastrophic Damage Tochigi Otawara October 17 12:24
Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 19, Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture has been devastatingly damaged by “Tourist Yana”, which allows you to eat fish caught in the river, and the people involved are working on cleaning up.
The damage was caused by “Kurowa Kanko Yana” in the Naka River that flows through Otawara City.
The turbulent flow of the Nakagawa River, which increased due to Typhoon No. 19, hit the kitchen next to the river and a one-story building where about 400 people can eat.
In addition, the “Yana” for taking ayu installed in the river is broken, and the staff and volunteers are busy with cleaning up. Now is the time when you can taste “falling ayu”, which is refraining from spawning, and it was originally a time for many tourists to visit, but they abandoned their business until the beginning of next month.
The “Kurobane Tourism Association (Yana) Fisheries Association” is considering damages in the future, including relocation of the site because of the damage.
Mr. Matsuura, Managing Director, said, “I was surprised at the magnitude of the damage when I first saw it. I would like to do my best because I can't do anything without thinking positively.”
