Myōken Island, River island in Edogawa City, Tokyo
Myōken Island stands within the waters of the Old Edo River, surrounded by industrial buildings and a marina at the eastern edge of Tokyo.
Records from 1362 document the transfer of a religious statue from Myōkaku-ji temple in Higashi Ichinoe village to a shrine on the island.
The name of the island connects to the deity Myōken, associated with the North Star and Big Dipper in Japanese religious traditions.
The island is accessible through Urayasu Bridge, with a 15-minute walk required from Urayasu Station to reach the entrance point.
This location represents the single natural island remaining within Tokyo's 23 wards, featuring an unexpected mix of industrial facilities and maritime activities.
