Kaminada River

...It is a long, narrow town facing the Iyo Nada Sea, with fault cliffs looming close to the coast and a series of mountains 700 to 900 meters above sea level that are branches of the Shikoku Mountains to the south. Many small rivers with short rivers flow into the Iyo Nada Sea, but the lowlands open up along the Kami Nada River, which originates at Inuyori Pass and flows westward. In Kami Nada at the mouth of the river, the production of bleached wax and charcoal and sericulture were once thriving, but today citrus fruit is cultivated on the mountain slopes.
