Genbei River
A 1.5 kilometer long river located in the Rakujuen park in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture which flows from Kohama Pond, itself believed to be fed by an underground spring from Mt. Fuji. Equipped with stepping stones, a wooden promenade, and shallow area where children can play, the river is a popular destination for locals in summer. Children particularly like playing with a hand pump situated close to the Hirose Bridge. In early summer, visitors can enjoy the magical sight of fireflies floating in the air around the river.
