�@ The Kizugawa river, the Ajigawa river and the Shirinashigawa river are all wide and there is a lot of traffic by large vessels at the mouth of the rivers and those vicinity, so people found it difficult to construct bridges and the ferry was used to cross over the rivers .There were 31 places available for the ferry in the 10 th year of Showa and as many as 57500000 people a year made use of it .Among those such a place for the ferry as Genbe Watashi changed into a tunnel, but now we have 8 places for the ferry with 15 vessels in the 12th year of Heisei and Osaka City is running them without fee.
