22nd Around-Kitaura Relay Walking Event

About this event

The '22nd Around-Kitaura Relay Walking Event' is an event aimed at raising awareness about purifying the water quality of Lake Kitaura—an important water source for the Rokko region—and fostering local residents' closeness to Kitaura. Participants walk while picking up trash along the shore of Lake Kitaura. This initiative aims to circle the entirety of Lake Kitaura over several years by walking the lakeshore little by little and connecting the courses. This time, participants will walk about 5.7 km along the Kitaura lakeshore in Namegata City. The walk starts from the Namegata City Hall Kitaura Branch Office, follows the Kitaura lakeshore to Yamada River, and returns to the branch office via Prefectural Route 183. Participants will receive sweet potatoes, a specialty of Namegata City (planned). Please participate wearing clothing suitable for walking and bring work gloves and beverages. Trash bags will be provided by the organizer. The event will be cancelled in case of rain, and implementation status can be checked on the Kitaura Water Quality Rescue Team website.
