The middle and lower reaches are masonry revetment, with private houses on both sides, showing the appearance of rivers in the city area. In the downstream, fish such as mullers are observed due to the influence of the tide, and there is the original scenery of the downtown area of Yokohama, such as the Oguchi Shopping Street.

The old coastline retains a remnant of Ryoshimachi. Before the war, it prospered as a fishing port for haze and anago fishing port in front of Edomae, but now it is mainly used as a base for recreational fishing boats, and other fishing boats and pleasure boats are also moored.

The canal at the mouth of the river is 80 meters downstream from Irie Bridge on National Route 15 and is divided into the first and second river rivers. This is the estuary before reclamation, and there are unloading facilities on both banks.
