It may only rain about four months of the year in Tokyo yet there is plenty of water flowing

I am a bit of an explorer by nature and when I first arrived in Tokyo one of the first things I had to buy was a bicycle. Once happy with my two wheeled choice I couldn't wait to have a good look around my neighborhood; I should say, extended neighborhood

The more I looked the more I found to be of great interest. One of the most interesting discoveries I made was the amount of rivers and steams that flow though this great city. 

These rivers are great because most of them have walkway/cycleways running alongside of them (great planning by the river bank flood protection authority (My city back home took a long time to figure that one out). 

 

If you are interested in rivers and streams then checkout this link for further knowledge about Tokyo's vast river networks walking-on-water-the-underground-rivers-of-tokyo

                    "What does Tokyo have? A lot, it turns out. There are countless miles of pedestrian paths and “green roads” that follow the route of old rivers and streams. They may not be well-publicized, but they are EVERYWHERE, as I would find out."

 

So with rivers in mind let me show you around.

The photos are in no particular order. If you would like to know where a photo is from please feel free to ask. I am more than happy to help. 1737500753186212.jpg

Lindas fotos las que compartiste @KIWIinTOKYO, pero lo que más me gusto fue su relato sobre los ríos de Tokyo, es muy interesante que lo hayan pensado en función de la gente, gracias por compartir.
