The route is entirely a wide cycling path along the river

Getting there and away

South End

Urayasu on the Tozai Line (Tokyo Metro) is close to the Edogawa River but is on the wrong side of the river (note that cyclists are not allowed to use the roadway on the bridge). Slightly further away but on the correct side is Kasai Station

North End

A little ride up the Tone River, Kurihashi Station on the JR Utsunomiya Line and Tobu Nikko Line offers good access back to Toyko in about an hour
