Our city is called "City of Rivers" and many rivers flow through the city, including the Ishikari River and its tributaries, the Biei River and the Chubetsu River. These river spaces are used by many citizens as places to relax, commune with nature, and hold events, as well as to control the rapid rise in water levels when the rivers rise due to heavy rains.

The 32nd National River Summit in Asahikawa will be held with the aim of deepening the understanding of local governments across the country on the creation of a lively river and town area and coexistence with nature.

Target/Standard：Anyone (500 people maximum at the venue)
