Matsu River, River in central Toyama, Japan
The Matsu River flows through downtown Toyama city for 2.4 kilometers, connecting with the Jinzu River system and maintaining an average flow rate of 65 cubic meters per second.
During the Meiji period, the main course of the Jinzu River was redirected through urban planning, leading to the formation of the current Matsu River in central Toyama.
The river banks display twelve sculptures created by local artists from Toyama Prefecture, while the right bank has been developed into the Matsukawa Park.
The Matsukawa River Cruise operates daily except during winter, offering 30-minute boat tours from Funabashi to the confluence of Matsukawa and Itachi rivers.
The riverside features 470 Yoshino cherry trees that bloom earlier than other locations in Toyama due to the urban heat island effect.
