Green Breathing on the Edge of the City: The Tranquil Charm of Mimikawa

You might find it hard to believe that beside the constant roar of takeoffs and landings at New Chitose Airport lies a tranquil river with flowing water. The banks of the Mimi River are lined with native Hokkaido broadleaf forests, and swans or wild ducks can often be seen swimming leisurely on its surface. Sitting in a canoe, with your line of sight level with the horizon, as the paddles cut through the calm water, the tranquility of being one with nature is a luxury that no bustling tourist destination can replace.
