Aki River
The Aki River,. is a river, in Japan. The Aki River flows west of Tokyo Metropolitan Area. It is a major tributary of the Tama River. The name, あきかわ, means "Autumn River."
The words Akigawa River sound a bit odd, as kawa and gawa, 川, are Japanese words for river, so Aki River makes more sense, or simply Akigawa, perhaps Akikawa.The Akigawa has a north fork and a south fork, but the river's source is in the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park.The Akigawa flows through the towns of Akiruno and Hinohara, and through Kanagawa and Tokyo Prefectures.The river's gorge is a popular recreation area.
