Memorial to the Saigawa River Navigation
The History of Matsumoto's Logistics Supported by River Transport
The Saigawa River Boat Transport Monument is a stone monument commemorating the history of river transport once conducted on the Saigawa River.During the Edo period, the Saigawa River served as a vital waterway for transporting rice, sake, and other goods, supporting the livelihoods and industries of Matsumoto town and its surrounding areas. Today, it stands quietly in the riverside green space, conveying the scenes of river transport from days gone by. It is a spot worth visiting to feel the history of Matsumoto, which developed alongside the river, while enjoying the waterside scenery.
