Hanami River

The Hanamigawa River is a lush green river that flows from north to south through the center of Hanamigawa Ward.

It was a small river that originated in the Ushihashi area and flowed into Tokyo Bay. After the Edo period, construction work was carried out to connect Lake Inban with the Hanami River as a flood prevention measure for Lake Inban, and after difficult construction work, it was completed after the war as the Inba Floodway.

TENMASEN Project 2025 / Hanami River

Others
The TENMASEN Project will hold an event in which many “miniature Tenma boats,” approximately 30 cm long and modeled after wooden Japanese-style boats, will be floated on the river and visitors can enjoy the boats sailing along with the current of the water. [A cross-sectional initiative to explore waterfront culture and space from horizontally.] Through this project, we aim to create a cross-sectoral network of old and new waterfront users in collaboration with artists, students, citizens, and businesses, beyond the fields of art, community development, and environmental revitalization. [Re-establish a relationship with the waterfront in daily life.] Not to limit a temporary event-like excitement, but to build a relationship that will lead to the use of the waterfront in daily life with the local community, against the backdrop of historical images. [Community building through the use of spatial social stock.] By reusing places and spaces that are imbued with local memories and time, we can pass on the local identity to future generations. [A donation-based event format.] Gathered funds will go toward revitalization and clean-up activities along the waterfront. Cherry trees will be planted along the Hanami River to create a more familiar waterfront. The goal is to increase the initiative and cooperation of citizens and to make this a sustainable event. [As support for citizen-created cultural activities.] Anyone can participate, regardless of their status, age, gender, or nationality.The entire race will express the diversity and solidarity of the participating citizens, and aims to become a citizen-created cultural activity. In addition, rivers are seen as a media for expression, and are promoted as a community art initiative for the world. [Types of citizen involvement] Donation, Artwork production, Event management, Race viewing
