It was assumed that Kasumi levees would create closer relationships between cities and rivers through the gaps between the levees. In order to prove this hypothesis, it was necessary to verify the visibility and accessibility of the rivers from the cities through the gaps in the levees at 38 sites that had been confirmed to be used as park green spaces among 296 sites in 48 rivers in Japan as previously reported. This paper is a report on the results of the field survey of three sites on the Doki River out of the 38 sites. As the results of the survey, the followings were found. (1) There were factors that reduce the visibility and accessibility of the river from the city, such as raised ground, trees, buildings, facilities, and restricted land. (2) The park green spaces had spatial features that made it possible for the visitors to recognize that those were Kasumi levees.
