explanation: Flowing in the east of Tokyo, from north to south and pouring into Tokyo bay, Sumida river is closest to the city center among all the major rivers. For that reason, it has been crowded as a popular recreation spot of Tokyoites. Sensoji temple in Asakusa is located on the western shore. Great firework show takes place each summer. The upper stream is called "Arakawa" and takes its source in Chichibu mountains. Thanks to cleaning effort of the city, fishes are returning again to Sumida river.
