Photo gallery: Arakawa river (August 2011)
Posted by Javi Lavandeira in Japan, Photo galleries, Photography | July 20, 2012
I live within walking distance to the Arakawa River in the northern border of Tokyo. The river acts as the border between the Tokyo metropolis and the Saitama prefecture. As in other parks and natural spaces in the city, there are always people jogging, cycling, praticing baseball, and even water skying! The well-known Sumida River branches from the Arakawa not far from where I live. It flows into Tokyo Bay near the Kasai-Rinkai Park next to Tokyo Disneyland.
I took these last year, during a walk a beautiful summer afternoon.
The photos are after the break.
