Through the “Kawamachi Development” project—a riverside community revitalization initiative—walking paths with barrier-free access and gentle slopes have been developed from the mouth of the Abashiri River to Omagari Lakeside Park.
Along the section from Abashiri Bridge to Chuo Bridge on the left bank of the Abashiri River, visitors can approach right down to the waterside, allowing them to experience the river and cityscape up close even in winter.
