Shinkawa River cuts across Edogawa Ward east to west for 3 km between Kyu-Edo River and Arakawa River. The entire length has a nice riverside walkway on both sides.In late March to early April, over 700 cherry trees bloom (20 varieties, mainly Somei-Yoshino). It's a very pleasant walk with no crowds, no tourists. Not well-known yet.Mar 31, 2021

Shinkawa River (新川) was first excavated in 1590 by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu for cargo boats to transport salt from neighboring Gyotoku (in Chiba Prefecture) to Edo. The river was lined with miso shops, shoyu shops, and eateries. The salt boats have long been replaced by trains and motor vehicles. Today the river is very quiet in a residential area.Mar 31, 2021
