　The Onga River is a first-class river that flows from the Chikuho region of Fukuoka Prefecture to Kitakyushu City, Nakama City, and Onga District. The basin municipalities are 7 cities, 14 towns and 1 village. The population of the basin is about 670,000 [Public Relations 1]. It is also the only river in Kyushu where salmon run up.
　遠賀川（おんががわ）は、福岡県の筑豊地方から北九州市・中間市・遠賀郡を流れる一級河川。流域市町村は7市14町1村。流域内人口約67万。九州で唯一、鮭が遡上する川でもある。
　The Onga River (total length 61 km), which is the largest river in northern Kyushu, is located in the mountains of Mt. Umami (978 m) in Kama City. The water that springs up from there is poured into Hibiki-nada along with many rivers such as the Honami and Hikoyama rivers.
　北部九州最大の川である遠賀川(全長61キロ)、その源流は嘉麻市の馬見山（978m）の山中にあります。 そこから湧き出た水は、穂波川や彦山川など多くの川と一緒になりながら、響灘へと注ぎます。
