Kakumagawa River

Japanese: 角間川 - かくまがわ
Kakumagawa River

It is a district of Daisen City in central Akita Prefecture. The former Kakumagawa Town was incorporated into Omagari City in 1955 (Showa 30), and Omagari City became Daisen City in 2005 (Heisei 17). It is located at the confluence of the Omono River and the Asahi River (Yokote River), and prospered through shipping until the opening of the Ou Line in 1905 (Meiji 38). It connected to Tsuchizaki at the mouth of the Omono River, and rice and other products from the Senboku Plain were transported there, and salt, sugar, and seafood from Tsuchizaki were unloaded. It is home to Kakumagawa Onsen.
