Uguisunomori

The Inagawa River around "Uguisunomori" station of Nose Railway is wide and has a large amount of water. You can find waterfowl like ducks in the water under the mild sunshine.
In 1954, the swimming place was opened around Uguisunomori and Dezaike area. This was one of the biggest freshwater pools at that time in Hanshin area. Although it had rent-a-boat, it was abolished because of the Ise typhoon in 1959. (Now, it is banned to swim and rent-a-boat.) At that time, it was crowded with many families in summer.

Dezaike & Kinunobe area

Before, there were big Yuuzen dyeing factories along the Inagawa River around Dezaike area. People washed silk with the pure water and dried many colorful cloths at the river side. Many stories about silk in the Dezaike and Kinunobe area indicate that the area's name originated from the Chinese way of dyeing and weaving in the silk industry in the 6th century.
