Negawa Greenway Road

根川緑道

Tokyo · Kanto

A 1.3 km riverside greenway along the former Negawa stream in southern Tachikawa, with boardwalks, ponds and wildlife zones making it a pleasant year-round stroll. Around 500 cherry trees line the water, and in bloom the surface mirrors the blossom while falling petals form drifting 'hana-ikada' rafts.

Why it's hidden

A residential-edge greenway in far-western Tokyo that overseas visitors never reach, overshadowed by nearby Showa Kinen Park.
