Shimanto of the population, has become about 34,000 people in 2018. As of April, I think that it is normal migration life without also not so often.

Area

In Shimanto City, the area of the forest is about 50,000 hectares which is about 25 times the area of the cultivated land, I think whether the image of the Shimanto River flows and the forest spreads around it.

Industry

In addition to being rich in nature, we are putting emphasis on the agriculture, forestry and fishery industries, and we are also concentrating on agriculture as a city not only for local consumption but also for "outside disposal".

Moreover, we are aiming to attract guests with agriculture, forestry and commerce participation type to promote the tourism industry, I think that various ways of thinking can be made if I migrate and start working.

Average Temperature

The average temperature is 16.3 degrees, the highest average is 21.9 degrees, the lowest average is 11.5 degrees, which means that you can spend warmly and comfort throughout the year.

However, because Shimanto City is located along the sea, it is easily affected by typhoons, and when annual rainfall is large, it is also an area where rains are quite rainy, such as over 400 mm.

Access

Because there is a harbor there is also a ferry, and on the air route it takes a bus from Kochi Ryoma airport to Kochi station from there, from there there is a bus to Nakamura station, there is also a bus for overland, and for Shinkansen · JR, you need to change trains at Okayama and Matsuyama Become.

Shimanto river

(It was supplied by trip adviser)

Speaking of Shimanto City Shimanto River as well. The Shimanto River is based on a point of about 1,300 m above the altitude of a Irazu mountain, and it features a gentle flow without falling rapidly from there.
The Shimanto River is appreciated for its clean water quality and conservation activities by residents, and has also been selected as "100 famous waters". In addition, the tributary Kuroson river is also selected as "100 famous waters of Heisei."
Furthermore, in addition to the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has selected the watershed around the Shimanto River as "important cultural landscape", and its beauty is guaranteed with both water quality and landscape.
Outdoor such as camping and mountain stream fishing in the upstream, outdoor such as canoe boat in the midstream, tourist houseboats and traditional fishing in the gentle downstream, there are lots of fun if you migrate.
A sinking bridge designed to sink when water is increased to various places has been made, and I am seeing a spectacular matching with the Shimanto River. On a holiday, it is good to cycling around the settlement bridge.

Yasunami Water Truck's Sato Park

At Yasunami Water Truck's Sato Park, there are mills that are not seen in other areas, and for sightseeing that does not drain water to rice fields, I feel the lives of old people who used the water of the river well can do

Wild Bird Park

Wild Bird Park is a park built in the area downstream of the Shimanto River and aims to provide opportunities to interact with nature such as fish, insects and wild birds.

There will be a vermillion bridge in the park and a place to relax on sunny days. When immigrating, it is good to observe wild birds while sunbathing or to read books.

Dishes

(It was supplied by Trip Adviser)

The food of Shimanto City uses many foods of Shimanto River's fortune, especially Ayu Eel and Yamato Tenuga Shrimp are also used for traditional dishes.

Ayu Dishes

It is the benefit of the Shimanto River that can be used for various dishes such as Sweet-baked ayu, Spicy skewers of Ayu, Ayu sushi.

Eel Dishes

The eel that can be taken in the Shimanto River is famous, but in recent years the trapped amount has also decreased, so local people may not be able to eat it.

If you can get an eel, it is privilege only for those who emigrated to Shimanto City to be able to receive Shimanto blessings fresh from eel tea pickles and eel tataki.

Event

Spring

Spring has not a big event, but you can see many flowers such as azalea, cherry tree, wisteria and hydrangea in various places. As the morning glory blooms around the miller of the previous time, we recommend visiting according to flowering time after emigration.

Summer

In the summer, the Summer will be told the end of summer, such as the swimming competition of the Shimanto River that seems to be summer, the sending of capital letters and about 10 thousand "Shimanto Botanical Firework Display" will be held.

Fall

In autumn, the Shimanto River 's Kurokori Valley is colored in red leaves, whereas the Shimanto River Ultramarathon is held before that runners run around the Shimanto River.

Although there is no conspicuous big festival, Shimanto City is highly recommended in terms of being able to spend calm life immigration unique to the countryside.

３．System of Shimanto City

Support for migration registration

In Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture, we will register for immigration and meet with NOP corporations and we can receive migration support if there is a will to establish a good relationship with local people there.

They support a lot of support such as corporate support and looking for houses for consultation and relocation, but this support will be transferred from outside the highland prefecture or living in Kochi prefecture, limited to less than one year, immigrants for over 1 year If you live in the prefecture and live outside of Shimanto City you will receive less support.

I think that this is not mandatory, but because I think that it is a system for receiving immigration support gently, so if you are "anxious about migration" it is recommended to register.

Migration support housing

In addition to the conditions such as negotiable, only migrants outside the prefecture and necessary repair, conditions for establishing immigration support homes are established, and if you become a target for support by registering for emigrants earlier, "If you are a qualified person in land and building transactions free of charge They stand "for you.

If you do not register for migrant support, you will have to do a lot of troublesome work after immigration because you do not have witness by NPO corporation and you have to do various things yourself.

Therefore, when immigrating, it would be a good idea to register and make it easier to start migrating life even a little.

Welcome village

Welcome village is just a "migrant welcome" village where the immigrants' acceptance is ready.

Currently, two villages out of three villages are in preparation, but if you use this system you may be able to resolve anxiety about rural living with the support of the local people.

Migration to Shimanto City may be smoother if you register Welcome village and migrant support.

４．Summary

Shimanto City is a rural area where the Shimanto River flows and has more forests than the country scenery, but the mountains and rivers have a very rich area of happiness.

In addition, there are unusual systems called support registration when you migrate, you can receive great support if you register, I think that the burden of immigration will be lightened accordingly.
