Tamagawa River Walk (2) 2009.7.25







It is about 13 kilometers from Shin-Maruko (Tokyu Line) to the river mouth (Tokyo Bay). I walked down the river in the strong sunshine of the summer.

The river's flow is slow. I saw people enjoying canoeing and water skiing.

There are many football and baseball fields and golf courses in the riverside. Mothers were screaming watching their kids playing games.

Blue plastic houses also scattered.

Crabs, birds, dragonflies, butterflies and many other species are observed in the estuary area (natural preservation!). The sounds of waves are heard all around.

Planes come in and take off from the Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), which lies at the opposite side of the river mouth.
