Shinkawa River is a canal built by
Ieyasu Tokugawa that had connected Arakarwa and Nakagawa River to
Edogawa River and the river was also called Funaborigawa River. In Edo period, the river
was a great artery that thousands of ships and ferries carrying many products
from the northern part of Japan to
Edo had passed. Now it is a good course for people living in
Edogawaku to walk on. There are
thousands of cherry trees planted along it, they
are called
Shinkawa Senbonzakura. In spring, they bloom pale pink
sakura
blossoms. Viewing for the sakura trees along Shikawa River from the fire
lookout is dramatically wonderful. Visitors could enjoy seeing them while
they walk along it. Shinkawa Senbon Sakura is beautiful not only in spring,
but also in summer and in fall. In summer they protect people from strong
sun beam with their beautiful green leaves. And in fall, their leaves changed
color in vermilion and yellow. There are many people enjoying walking,
jogging and fishing along Shinkawa River with thousands of cherry trees,
sometimes many sea birds come. Shinkawa River is a very wonderful course
to walk on. Why don't you visit it?
