This river originates on Mount Kobushigatake in the Kanto Mountains, flows southeast through the Kanto Plain, and empties into Tokyo Bay. It is 173 km long and has a drainage area of 2,940 km2 . It forms a gorge near Mitsumineguchi, passes through the Chichibu Basin and Nagatoro, and emerges into the plain at Yorii Town. It has frequently flooded, and repairs such as changing its course have been made, but major floods have disappeared since the Arakawa Floodway was completed. The branch is called the Sumida River. → Related topics Ageo [city] | Asaka [city] | Ina Tadatsugu | Okabe [town] | Kawaguchi [city] | Kawagoe [city] | Kawashima [town] | Gyoda [city] | Kumagaya [city] | Mount Kumotori | Konan [town] | Konosu [city] | Saitama [prefecture] | Sakura [ward] | Tajimagahara | Chichibu Basin | Toda [city] | Nagatoro [town] | Nishi [ward] | Nikko Onarimichi | Hanazono [town] | Fukiage [town] | Fujimi [city] | Minano [town] | Yokoze [town] | Wako [city] | Warabi [city] Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |

関東山地の甲武信ヶ岳(こぶしがたけ)に発し，関東平野を南東流して東京湾に注ぐ川。長さ173km，流域面積2940km2。三峰口(みつみねぐち)付近まで峡谷をなし，秩父盆地，長瀞(ながとろ)を経て寄居町から平野へ出る。たびたび洪水を起こし，流路変更などの改修工事が行われたが，荒川放水路完成後大洪水はなくなった。分流は隅田川と呼ばれる。 →関連項目上尾［市］｜朝霞［市］｜伊奈忠次｜岡部［町］｜川口［市］｜川越［市］｜川島［町］｜行田［市］｜熊谷［市］｜雲取山｜江南［町］｜鴻巣［市］｜埼玉［県］｜桜［区］｜田島ヶ原｜秩父盆地｜戸田［市］｜長瀞［町］｜西［区］｜日光御成道｜花園［町］｜吹上［町］｜富士見［市］｜皆野［町］｜横瀬［町］｜和光［市］｜蕨［市］ 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
