I live near the Asanogawa river. It is also called Woman’s river.
I sometimes go there just for a walk and sit down for a while.
My favorite spot is between the Asanogawa Oohashi bridge and the Umenohashi bridge.
You can hear the sound of stream and watch the traditional old houses.
You feel surely calm down there.
Last Summer I used to go there almost every evening with some books and beer and foods.
