"Nakatsu Burei River" and "Okuhata River",
both upstream of Ohno River, are jointly referred to as "Hakusan
River" when it was certified as one of Japan's 100 remarkable
waters in 1985. The nature of Hakusan River entertains visitors
all year long, especially in summer with boisterous dancing
flies by thousands of fireflies and in Fall with colorful
red and yellow leaves.
A number of unique water spots can be found in the region,
including spout water from "Hogeiwa" rocks, water
of "Dear falling waterfall", and sequential falls
of "Reversing sweetfish waterfalls".
Notably the water in upstream can be safely drunk by visitors.
The river is also known for other features, such as "Inazumi
limestone cave" which is uniquely structured in the water,
and various stone bridges such as "Kokankyo".
