Hebi Dori (Snake Road in Yanaka is where the Aizome River used to flow, although it is now a culvert (underground waterway).

So, the place where the road is located used to be a river and is the reason the road has its unusual curving path that is said to resemble a snake.
The Aizome river used to flow into Shinobazuno pond in Ueno.
