Minamikamikawa

The upper Tokachi country lies among the mountains of central Ezo, where the Sahoro River flows toward the Tokachi plain. Ainu from Tokachi and the Kamikawa basin met in the mountains to hunt and maintained routes across the watershed. Paths near the headwaters of the Sorachi and Sahoro offered passage between the Furano basin and Tokachi, joining communities on opposite sides of the high country.
