Tamagawa Josui walkway
Diversion Weir
This is the diversion weir of the Tamagawa Josui water supply channel. At very this point, the water supply channel starts to run through different cities to reach the center of Tokyo. It runs as long as about 43 km. The water of Tamagawa Josui was consumed by people in Edo. Edo is the old name of Tokyo.
Flood Control
This structure is called ushiwaku, which is used for flood control and bank protection. In the olden days, people placed these structures on the dry riverbed in preparation for flooding, and also these days, people are still using them in some places.
Tamagawa Brothers
These are statues of the Tamagawa brothers, Sho-emon and Sei-emon, who supervised the construction of the Tamagawa Josui water supply channel. After the completion of the construction work, the Tokugawa Shogunate rewarded them by giving them the family name of Tamagawa and samurai status.
Construction Work
It is said that the digging work of the channel started in April of 1653 and finished in November of the same year. So, they had dug through all the channel length of 43 km in about only 8 months. Amazing!
Freight Boats
I read some book that mentions the Tamagawa Josui and it says that, freight boats went up and down along the channel to transport goods to the center of Edo in the past. These freight boats were operated during the period of the two years from 1870 to 1872. Only a two year period. Why did the boat operation discontinue so soon? Some thoughtless guys threw garbage in the water from their boats and some guys even took a leak from the boats. Too bad! This is drinking water, which must be kept clean. So, the authority at the time decided to discontinue the freight boat operation to keep the water clean.
Walkway
A comfortable walkway runs along the Tamagawa Josui. I recommend you to walk along the channel. As you walk, the walkway lined with cherry trees turns into a pathway in the woods at some point. You can find benches hear and there along the pathway, take a rest, and have some food and drink.

Inokashira Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inokashira Park (井の頭恩賜公園 Inokashira Onshi Kōen?) straddles Musashino and Mitaka in western Tokyo, Japan.
Inokashira Pond (井の頭池) and the Kanda River water source (神田上水 Kanda jōsui?), established during the Edo period, are the primary sources of the Kanda River.
The land was given to Tokyo in 1913. On May 1, 1918, it opened under the name Inokashira Onshi Kōen (井の頭恩賜公園), which can be translated as, Inokashira Imperial Gift Park. Thus the park was considered a gift from the emperor to the general public. This was the first time in Tokyo that a park was founded in such a manner.
Data

-Nearest stations: 5 min walk from Kichijōji (JR Chūō line), 1 min walk from Inokashira Kōen (Keiō Inokashira Line)
-Number of trees: Tall trees: 11,060 / shrubs: 12,800 / lawn: 10,000 m2
-Variety of plants: Cherry trees, cypresses, red pines, azaleas
Geography
Inokashira Park encompasses Inokashira pond in its center. Inokashira Pond is a long, narrow pond, stretching from northwest to southeast, and split into two branches at the northwest end. From the southeast end begins the Kanda River. A section of the stream of the Kanda River is also within the bounds of the park. On the west side of the park is a thicket, in Gotenyama, And on the other side of Kichijouji dori Ave. is Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau Of Construction Inokashira Cultural Park, a small zoo. On the southern side of the thicket, the Tamagawa Aqueduct flows toward the southeast, and further south is the western park area. Beside the downstream section of the Tamagawa Aqueduct is there is an Eastern Garden, which includes a small open area.
With regard to city boundaries, the Inokashira Pond, section of the Kanda River in the park, Inokashira-kōen Station, and the West and East gardens are in Mitaka. The area of the park beginning just past the northern shore of Inokashira Pond is in Musashino.
Near the park, less than 500 meters from Inokashira Pond is Kichijōji station, on the JR Chuo Line. Kichijōji Station has a Park Exit (公園口 kōen guchi?) on its south side, facing toward the park. The path from the station toward the pond is lined with shops aimed at young people.
In the southeast of the park is Inokashira-kōen Station, on the Keio Inokashira Line, which runs parallel to the Kanda River. The distance from the station to the pond is very short, and there are small paths and open spaces between them which visitors can wander through.
Nature and the seasons
Spring in Inokashira Park is the season of the blooming cherry trees that line the pond. Looking from the Nanai Bridge, which crosses the pond near the center, the branches of the cherry trees extending from the shore bloom so densely as to all but cover the surface of the pond. The pale color of the blossoms contrasts with the sky and water's surface. During the blooming period of cherry blossoms the park receives many visitors. In addition, on the west side of the park there are many flowers to be seen in the flowering plum grove before the blooming period of the cherry trees. On the north side of the plum grove, on the edge of the pond, there is a spring, but its flow is nowadays weak.
In summer one can enjoy the green of the trees that cover Gotenyama, and the refreshing air underneath.
In autumn the leaves of the many kinds of trees in the park change color, and the fallen leaves bury the walking paths.
Winter in Inokashira Park is also lively. Many migrating birds come, and Inokashira Pond becomes their wintering place.
Wild snakes can also be seen within the park.

Inokashira Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inokashira Park (井の頭恩賜公園 Inokashira Onshi Kōen?) straddles Musashino and Mitaka in western Tokyo, Japan.
Inokashira Pond (井の頭池) and the Kanda River water source (神田上水 Kanda jōsui?), established during the Edo period, are the primary sources of the Kanda River.
The land was given to Tokyo in 1913. On May 1, 1918, it opened under the name Inokashira Onshi Kōen (井の頭恩賜公園), which can be translated as, Inokashira Imperial Gift Park. Thus the park was considered a gift from the emperor to the general public. This was the first time in Tokyo that a park was founded in such a manner.

Geography
Inokashira Park encompasses Inokashira pond in its center. Inokashira Pond is a long, narrow pond, stretching from northwest to southeast, and split into two branches at the northwest end. From the southeast end begins the Kanda River. A section of the stream of the Kanda River is also within the bounds of the park. On the west side of the park is a thicket, in Gotenyama, And on the other side of Kichijouji dori Ave. is Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau Of Construction Inokashira Cultural Park, a small zoo. On the southern side of the thicket, the Tamagawa Aqueduct flows toward the southeast, and further south is the western park area. Beside the downstream section of the Tamagawa Aqueduct is there is an Eastern Garden, which includes a small open area.
With regard to city boundaries, the Inokashira Pond, section of the Kanda River in the park, Inokashira-kōen Station, and the West and East gardens are in Mitaka. The area of the park beginning just past the northern shore of Inokashira Pond is in Musashino.
Near the park, less than 500 meters from Inokashira Pond is Kichijōji station, on the JR Chuo Line. Kichijōji Station has a Park Exit (公園口 kōen guchi?) on its south side, facing toward the park. The path from the station toward the pond is lined with shops aimed at young people.
In the southeast of the park is Inokashira-kōen Station, on the Keio Inokashira Line, which runs parallel to the Kanda River. The distance from the station to the pond is very short, and there are small paths and open spaces between them which visitors can wander through.
Nature and the seasons
Spring in Inokashira Park is the season of the blooming cherry trees that line the pond. Looking from the Nanai Bridge, which crosses the pond near the center, the branches of the cherry trees extending from the shore bloom so densely as to all but cover the surface of the pond. The pale color of the blossoms contrasts with the sky and water's surface. During the blooming period of cherry blossoms the park receives many visitors. In addition, on the west side of the park there are many flowers to be seen in the flowering plum grove before the blooming period of the cherry trees. On the north side of the plum grove, on the edge of the pond, there is a spring, but its flow is nowadays weak.
In summer one can enjoy the green of the trees that cover Gotenyama, and the refreshing air underneath.
In autumn the leaves of the many kinds of trees in the park change color, and the fallen leaves bury the walking paths.
Winter in Inokashira Park is also lively. Many migrating birds come, and Inokashira Pond becomes their wintering place.
