River in Yamanashi prefecture Japan. It's hard to find rivers that are untouched in Japan, most have been lined with concrete much like most of the coastline. Will be exploring this one in the summer with a wetsuit and dredge. Did some test panning, so far only Mica and black sand, there is a disused 17th century gold mine further up the mountain/upstream.
@bongcouver Sorry for long delay in responding, thanks will check shosenkyo next time in Yamanashi.
cheers
