Tao River



The Tao River (縚免; tao-miyu) is a river that flows north past the cities of Jindo, Keikai and Shido. Its source is at the foothills of Hitsuhara, the smallest mountain in the Ikumo range. It is the twin of the shorter Gen River. The Tao can be crossed by way of the Tao Bridge, which can be accessed a few miles from Shido.

The Tao has one tributary, the Shitao River. Both this tributary and the main river itself are navigatable for small boats, and fishing is a popular activity along their banks.
