The main stream of the Tone River originates from Mount Omizu on the border between Gunma and Niigata prefectures. The total length of the main stream is about 322 kilometers. It flows into the Pacific Ocean between Choshi City in Chiba Prefecture and Kamisu City in Ibaraki Prefecture.
I crossed the tone River at the choshi Ohashi bridge.
When I moved from Choshi to Ibaraki by car, I crossed the Choshi Ohashi Bridge and crossed the Tone River. I crossed the bridge slowly, but it took about 1 minute to cross. I realized again the width of the Tone River near the mouth of the estuary.

It's a previous experience ... The Tone River has the largest watershed area in Japanese rivers, so you can enjoy the scenery of color 々 depending on the location. In the middle reaches, it is a prefectural border between Gunma and Saitama prefectures for a considerable length, and you can observe waterfowl overwintering around here.

It's over the old road.

The former Nikko Kaido is a prefectural border that runs from Kurihashi Seki in Kurihashi-juku, Kuki City, Saitama Prefecture to Furukawa City, Ibaraki Prefecture. I ran early in spring, so I could feel the spring when the rape blossoms bloom.

I don't think it's Japan.
Certainly the second longest river in Japan. It flows from the back of the Kanto Plain. When I went to Choshi, I went to see the bridge at the mouth of the estuary, but the width of the river was so wide that I couldn't think of Japan.
