Tamagawajosui Canal Green Road runs from Mitaka City to Fussa City, both located in Tokyo, Japan. The name of the area has been deemed appropriate due to its long length and narrow width, making it more like a road than a park. However, this area appears much like the trail of a park with a river running on one side of the road and a tremendous amount of greenery on the other.

Not long after the green road was created to access the river there was a company created by the brothers called Tamagawa Service Water. This still remains on the land and is used by parts of the city.
