Close
The Aki River (also, the Akigawa River)[1] is a river in Japan.[2][3] The Aki River flows west of Tokyo Metropolitan Area. It is a major tributary of the Tama River,[4][5] The Japanese name, 秋川, means "Autumn River."[6][7]
The name Akigawa may seem strange for some people as kawa/gawa 川 in Japanese means river so people may think the name should be Aki river but that is wrong because the names of lakes in Japanese usually have gawa at the end of the name
