Sumida River
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Sumida River (Sumida-gawa) is a river that flows through central Tokyo, Japan. It branches from the Arakawa River at Iwabuchi (in Kita-ku) and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its tributaries include the Kanda and Shakujii rivers. It passes through the Kita, Adachi, Arakawa, Sumida, Taitō, Kōtō and Chūō wards of Tokyo. What is now known as the "Sumida River" was previously the path of the Arakawa. Toward the end of the Meiji era, the Arakawa was manually diverted to prevent flooding, as the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda is nearby.
