Shibuya River (yup, there it is)
I walked past Shibuya River last night, it was glittering under the stars, yet it is but a miserable drain embanked in concrete. You will find it just south of Shibuya station on the west side along Meiji Dori (Highway 305).
Some NGOs are making an effort to revitalize this river, hoping to making it "green" again by 2012. One group is Toziba, and, starting in 2001, many groups created Earth Day Money as a local currency, to support clean-up campaigns and maybe get Tokyo City to start considering a major project...

I'm thinking of doing more river posts, the waterways are like arteries and veins that tell us a lot about the condition of the entire body.
