Explore the riverside near the popular Escon Field ballpark and discover underwater creatures you wouldn't normally see! The Wattsu River is a 14.2-kilometer-long, first-class river that originates in Kamiwattsu, Kitahiroshima City, and flows into the Chitose River. The town of Kitahiroshima began in 1884, when 103 people from 25 households immigrated from Hiroshima Prefecture and settled along the river. While the area now boasts a waterfront environment, the river has witnessed the town's continued development. Rummaging through the undergrowth with a dip net, you'll encounter a variety of aquatic creatures. The river is just under 15 kilometers long, but its diverse habitat will surely pique your interest. Depending on the season, students studying aquatic life at a vocational school will also be available as guides, so be sure to ask them questions. You can learn about the rich water environment of Kitahiroshima and the Ishikari region, and enjoy our water activities as a project for elementary school students' independent research or as a way to safely enjoy playing near water. After the experience, you might also want to visit Escon Field Hokkaido, the ballpark of your dreams.

The fishing spots are the Wattsu River in Kitahiroshima and the Izari River that flows through the city of Eniwa. Of course, fish live in the city. They can be found even in places where the river is narrow or shallow, making it seem like there would be no fish. Trees on the riverside block the sunlight, and cold water flows at your feet. Enjoy fishing in such places while escaping the summer heat. Use a long rod or a multipurpose rod and use earthworms as bait. If you are not good at touching insects or fish, don't worry, the guide will support you. The location is Eniwa City. It is the largest of the many tributaries that flow into the Chitose River, and its source is Gyōdake, with a length of 46.8 kilometers. The Izari River Dam is located upstream, about 15 kilometers from Eniwa city, relatively close to the urban area.
