Shimoda machi(下田町)


< Shimoda-machi, Kamikita-gun, Aomori >
The Oirase River flows through the Shimoda-Oirase area.  The river brings spawning salmon to the area.  There is a riverside park dedicated to salmon, and in November every year, there is a very popular salmon festival at the park.  Two salmon are featured prominently on the Shimoda manhole cover.  Shimoda - Oirase is the site of a popular Aeon Mall, the largest Statue of Liberty in Japan, as well as the home of Momokawa Sake Factory, the maker of one of Japan's most popular sakes.


<青森県上北郡下田町>
おいらせ川は下田からおいらせ領域を通って流れます。
川はその領域に産卵サケを連れて来ます。そして、毎年の11月に非常に人気があるサケのフェスティバルがあります。
  2匹のサケが下田マンホールのカバーに描かれています。
