Japan, a country with small land area. While so much of our nature on this planet has been touched and reshaped by humans, Zako River in Shiga Kogen is a valuable river on earth where only wild chars inhabit. It is the river that local predecessors have cared for. There is a number of attractive waterfalls on Zako River, some only known by the locals.
In this film, two men takes their steps toward a waterfall to fly fish with a breathtaking view. Although its expedition can be rough at times, they will be rewarded with a delightful view at the destination.
This film invites us to appreciate the beauty of Japanese nature, Sawakudari (canyoning), and fly fishing.
