Arakawa
Arakawa is a special ward in the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. The ward takes its name from the Arakawa River, though the river does not run through or touch the ward. The ward borders the Sumida River, which was once the lower section of the Arakawa river. Neighboring wards are Adachi, Kita, Bunkyo, Taito and Sumida. In English, the ward's official name is Arakawa City.
