Concept

Deep in the heart of Mount Nachi, blessed rain pours down on the lush vegetation. The water that spills down through the branches and leaves from the tall trees to the shrubs flows through the ground and becomes a river. The Ota River flows through the ground to the foot of the mountain, nurturing the next sprout. The river moistens the fields, and when it reaches the Kumanonada Sea, it is illuminated by the sun, becomes clouds, and rains down again on the mountains. Ota is a region where such natural cycles are condensed. People have built their lives, towns, and communities around the Ota River. Here, people have always lived with the water, sharing their wisdom and skills and cooperating with each other!

Otagawa area information site

Nachikatsuura Town is located in the southern part of the Kii Peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The Ota district is a small area centered on the Ota River, which flows through the town from the mountains to the sea. In terms of travel time, this area is the farthest from urban areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, and is also known as an ``isolated island.'' Although it is sometimes said to be inconvenient and without much to offer, there are many things that can only be found here: peace and quiet, lush trees, and a sky full of stars. May you have an encounter with something important in this land.
