The Mikuma River flows through Hita City, offering scenic beauty and cultural experiences. During the summer months, traditional cormorant fishing (ukai) takes place, adding to the charm of Hita, known as a 'water town.' Stroll along the riverbanks near Kameyama Park in the evening for a refreshing experience. You can also enjoy a ride on a yakatabune (houseboat) for a unique perspective of the river and city. The best views can be found from the bridge between Mikumagawa Park and Home Center Nafco. Located a 10-minute walk from Hita Station, the Mikuma River is a must-see for visitors to Hita.
