I didn't think so. Mark (who met up with us on Sunday) went from Sumidagawa and you have to cut over at some point through town (at the narrowest bit seems to be the most popular).

There is track in places. First on one side, then the other. Sometimes the track disappears and becomes a road. Many times there are gates when a bridge/street crosses the route. It's better downstream from Horikiri station than it is upstream. Some sections are really nice.

Hmmm sounds a bit like a PIA. I'm trying to work out a good summer commute from Nerima to shinjuku, down Arakawa, maybe a few palace laps, ideally if there was a good route down sumidagawa it would be perfect. Going all the way around Arakawa might be a little too strenuous.
