River 宇田川 Udagawa is a tributary of the river 渋谷川 Shibuyagawa.
In a print by 長谷川雪旦　Hasegawa Settan, Yoyogi Hachimangu, there is a Shinto shrine on a hill, with the river Udagawa running below.
In the Edo period, there was a bridge, 五石橋 Goseki-Kyo over the river.
(Now this is around 神山町5番 Kamiyama, fifth sub-district.
It flowed into the Shibuyagawa close to Shibuya station, at the bridge 宮益橋 Miyamasubashi.

The Udagawa River is a tributary of the Shibuya River. Though now a culvert, its name lives on -- the district north of JR Shibuya Station is called Udagawacho. The Shibuya River used to flow round an elevated area, which was to the right of the land depicted in the print -- and which encompasses what are now Yoyogi Park and Meiji Shrine. Today it runs along part of Meiji-dori near Ebisu Station and then on into Tokyo Bay.

Miyamasu Chiyoda Inari Shrine 渋谷宮益 千代田稲荷之図

Chiyoda Inari Shrine was said to have begun with calling upon Fushimi-Inari in Kyoto
when 太田道潅 Ōta Dōkan built the Chiyoda (Edo) castle in 1457 (the first year of Chōroku).
After that, in 1602 (the seventh year of Keichō) when Tokugawa Ieyasu extended the Edo castle,
it was moved to Shibuya 宮益町 Miyamasu-chō.
