I visited the Nikaryo-yosui and cycled on the Tama River Cycling Road which goes up to the Sekido Bridge. The Nikaryo-yosui was/used to be an irrigation ditch, built in the Edo era, and quenched the rice fields south side of the Tama River.It finished its duty and became a waterside walking road for people now.  The Kuji cylinder watershed, built in 1934, diverted water based on the size of the canal openings at its circumference to each fields.It was to avoid a scramble for water. |
 The Tama River cycling road built on the embankment stretches for about 50km.Japan does not have a functional cycling road like Europe. Since cyclists and joggers have to coexist here, minor collisions sometimes happen. There is still some way to go before the Japanese bicycle environment becomes mature. 47.0km/Total 4h |
