Nagareyama

Nagareyama lies along the Edo River, where the level Kanto Plain stretches between Tokyo and the wider Chiba countryside. The river once carried goods through a town that prospered as a port and centre of mirin brewing; Nagareyama Honcho still preserves traditional storehouses and merchant buildings from that trading past. In 1868, Kondo Isami, commander of the Shinsengumi, was arrested here during the Boshin War, linking the city to the final years of the shogunate. Today, historic streets stand alongside residential districts served by the Tsukuba Express.
