Small green walkways (Ryoku-do) run through residential areas in Tokyo. I walked along Kitazawa-gawa Walkway and Karasuyama-gawa Walkway in Setagaya and Meguro Wards (ku), Tokyo's uptown.
People take walks (sometimes with their dogs) from early morning till midnight. Joggers and cyclists are also found.
We can also enjoy the sounds of cicadas in chorus (Semi-shigure in Japanese) at this season.
Walkways are usually built on the places where creeks run. They have been covered and turned into small paths. Some parts run through residential houses and some parts are along roads.
These ways have been arranged in last two or three decades reflecting people's voices. They have become more eco-friendly. Currently, they also hope the ways to be free of barriers.
Cherry trees are planted in some parts of the ways. Artificial creeks run in other parts. Real creeks run under the ground.
