The Aigawa River, a tributary of the Yoshino River, flows through Kamiyama Town in Myōzai District, Tokushima Prefecture. It's accessible near Ano Hanotsuji. Visitors have noted its beautiful indigo color, reminiscent of Tokushima's traditional indigo dyeing industry, and some have even compared its clarity favorably to the Shimanto River. The river is near several notable sites, including Ōnichiji Temple (Temple 13), Ichinomiya Shrine, and Ichinomiya Castle ruins. The best time to appreciate the river's beauty is during the day.
