* Walks along the side of a Sakaigawa river.

The town Urayasu developed centering on this Sakai river. Because, it is since a ship is moored, it crowds in this shore gradually and it came to live in this river convenient for fishermen's fishing.

A writer Yamamoto Syugoro got interested in this small town like this Venice, and he got [Aobeka story] in 1928.

Now, the sluice was installed and the shore of the both sides of a river was also dandily protected with brick.
Images of those days are the ship moored and some old colorful private-house grades. In accordance with a Sakaigawa and flower passage, it goes to the upstream, looking at the group of canoe play and the young fish of a mullet.
