Edogawa River is a large river that flows between Tokyo and Chiba. Many people enjoy the riverbank near Shibamata which features long bike or walking trails, baseball and athletic fields, nature, and vast park-lands. In the summer the popular Edogawa Fireworks Festival is held in nearby Shinozaki Park. Shibamata is also the hometown of fictional character Tora-san. There have been 48 Tora-san movies and he has been called Japan’s most beloved loser.
