| The Nogawa River (野川, No-gawa) is a river which flows through the west side of central Tokyo, Japan in an area known as the Musashino Terrace. The source of the river is associated with the Ohike Pond in the gardens of the Hitachi Central Research Laboratory [1] just west of Kokubunji Station in the city of Kokubunji.[2] It flows south and then east (receiving water from springs in the adjacent Tonogayato Garden). Having entered Fuchu it then proceeds in an south-easterly direction through the cities of Koganei, Mitaka and Chofu. From Chofu it briefly enters Komae City before crossing into the special ward of Setagaya from where it finally empties into the Tama River close to Futakotamagawa Station. The confluence point is near to the parallel bridges carrying national route 246 and the Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line/Tōkyū Ōimachi Line over the Tama River. |
