Nowadays both sides of the moat are well preserves walking areas. In the Edo period, the rivers 小名木川 Onagigawa and Funaborigawa were artificially created for easy water transportation, especially of salt. Edo had a lot of shallow waterways not suited for larger boats. Therefore the sand from natural rivers had to be dug out regularly to make them deeper. Around 1808 the river Onagigawa was cleaned again. At its most shallow part where the former river 中川 Nakagawa merged with it, it was only 36 cm deep.  source : edokara.tokyo/conts... .............................................................................................................................................. タワーホール船堀 Tower Hall Funabori Tower Observatory 4 Chome-1-1 Funabori, Edogawa City  The tower is only 115 m high.
