The river itself is very easy to find, but the K200 signpost is slightly more difficult. We started at 西代里山公園 (note that 西代 is read as にしんだい here). This is a popular park with the locals, and the parking lot seems to crowd up quickly. From the park, walk along route 79 until the overhead expressway crosses with the river; from this point walk along the river on the west/south side, and you can't miss it. Unfortunately no fireflies during the day.

Wonderful shrine with a rich history. Easy to find the K200 signpost. We enjoyed walking around the numerous paths in and around the shrine, and were interested to find a softshell turtle (what I would call スッポン with my limited knowledge) walking along one path near a fancy eatery. Perhaps it had just escaped from the kitchen.
