Nogawa is a 20 km-long river which runs through the western part of Tokyo and flows into the Tamagawa River.
I had walks along the river -- the upper part on May 8th and the lower part on May 9th.
The river fields in the upper part were covered with yellow rapeseed and white radish flowers.
Many people were enjoying their walks. Family members were in the bush and watching flowewrs and (probably) water creatures. Boys and girls were playing in the river.
I saw ducks, herons and other water birds. Carp and other fishes were also found.
The lower part is more artificial. Some part of the banks are covered with concrete. Some parts are under construction. There spread upper-class residential areas along the river.
Traditional Japanese farmer houses are displayed in a park named Jidayubori Koen Minkaen. The farmer houses are covered with straws and were originally built in the Edo era.
The river was polluted seriously until the 1970s. Few birds and fish were found then. It has turned clean after the 1970 -- and we can enjoy walkings now.
