Journeys in Japan - Season 9 - Eps 13: Agano River: Green Foliage and Spring Rituals
The Agano River flows through northern Niigata Prefecture, about 200 kilometers to the north of Tokyo.

On this edition of Journeys in Japan, photographer and haiku poet Kit Pancoast Nagamura meets the people living alongside the river and observes how they mark the arrival of spring.
