I took a walk along Toga River, which during spring is covered in sakura petals. It carried surprisingly much water and I was looking out for floods.

▶ Kobe (from Wikipedia)
Kobe is Japan’s seventh-largest city after Kawasaki, the third-largest port city after Yokohama, and the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay and about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.
The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingū in AD 201. For most of its history, the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889. Its name comes from Kanbe (神戸, an archaic title for supporters of the city’s Ikuta Shrine). Kobe became one of Japan’s designated cities in 1956.
Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the 1853 end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan and nuclear-free zone port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of Kobe’s prominence as a port city, it remains Japan’s fourth-busiest container port. Companies headquartered in Kobe include ASICS, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Kobe Steel, as well as over 100 international corporations with Asian or Japanese headquarters in the city, such as Eli Lilly and Company, Procter & Gamble, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Nestlé. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef, the home of Kobe University, as well as the site of one of Japan’s most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen.
Away from the seaside at the heart of Kobe lie the Motomachi and Sannomiya districts, as well as Kobe’s Chinatown, Nankin-machi, all well-known retail areas. A multitude of train lines cross the city from east to west. The main transport hub is Sannomiya Station, with the eponymous Kobe Station located to the west and the Shinkansen Shin-Kobe Station to the north.
Mount Rokkō overlooks Kobe at an elevation of 931 m (3,054 ft). During the autumn season, it is famous for the rich change in colors of its forests.
▶ Toga River (translated from Wikipedia)
The Togawa River is a second-class river located in Nada Ward , Kobe City , Hyogo Prefecture
he Togawa River begins at the confluence of the Rokko River, which flows from Mt. Rokko, and the Somadani River, which flows from Mt. Maya (Shinohara Nakamachi, Nada Ward). It flows almost north-south through Nada Ward and flows into Osaka Bay. The entire Toga River is designated as a second-class river .
Historically, the area around the basin was called ‘Tugano Village’, and the area near the sea was called ‘Tugahama Village’. The name comes from the fact that it flows through the area. On the mountain side of Togahama village is Oishi village, which has long existed around present-day Oishi Station on the Hanshin Electric Railway, and the Toga River is sometimes called ‘Oishi River’ for the same reason.
On July 28, 2008, localized torrential rains hit the Rokko region, causing the water level of the Toga River to rise sharply (1.34m in 10 minutes ), and five people in the river were swept away and died. In response to this, a flood warning system was developed.
