In this study, components of the creation of open spaces along the riverside and human activity during the later Edo Period were explored through examination of the illustrations in "Yodogawa Ryogan Ichiran" which depicts scenic spots along the Yodo River in the Edo Period. Riverside scenic spots of the period and greenery landscapes were also clarified. It revealed that the riverside was bustling with life within the city center, and the combination of spaces used in various ways, such as for boat traffic, the uniquely shaped revetments, riverside structures, and so on, in conjunction with single, tall trees created an overall well-integrated space. Entertainment spots were created in the out-lying areas of the city through a greenery landscape which consisted of lines of trees planted in mass around the riverbank. At famous spots within the city suburbs, structures such as ferries, shrines, temples and castles served as auxiliary landscapes against the background landscape of trees in the precinct and hills. Additionally, a more verdant landscape was created in the city suburbs through the overlapping greenery of grass and trees near the waterfront, as well as individual and groups of trees on the plains and in the mountain range.
