Hanami River

The Hanami River (Hanami-gawa) is a river in Yachiyo and Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The river is 18.9 kilometers (11.7 mi) in length and has a drainage area of 94.5 square kilometers (36.5 sq mi). The Hanami is one part of the Inba Discharge Channel (Inba Hōsuiro). The upper part of the drainage facility is designated as the Shin River. The lower part, the Hanami, ranges from the Ōwada Drainage Pump Station in Yachiyo City, and drains into Tokyo Bay in the Mihama Ward of Chiba City. The lower part of the river where the Hanami empties into Tokyo Bay is known as the Kemi River (Kemi-gawa). Numerous sluices have been built on the Hanami to protect the surrounding area from damage due to high tides and typhoons.
