Shinkawa River, Urban park in Shinkawa district, Tokyo, Japan

The Shinkawa River features a network of walking paths lined with cherry trees that extend for several kilometers along the waterway.

The canal was constructed during the Edo period specifically to transport salt and other essential goods from northern regions to the city of Edo.

The riverside area maintains over 800 cherry trees that create a natural corridor for traditional hanami celebrations during spring season.

Visitors can access the park within 10 minutes by foot from Hachiken Station or 15 minutes from Shinkawa Station on the Hokkaido Railway Sassho Line.

The southern banks of Shinkawa River once contained numerous pear gardens that produced the specialized Shinkawa Nashi pears through the Taisho Era.
