Refresh by walking around the riverside

The bright afternoon of a major holiday

From Kachidokibashi, we went along the Sumida River, passed Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, and went out on the banks around Shinkawa for a stroll. Take a leisurely walk overlooking Chuo-ohashi Bridge and River City 21.

This area is called "Sumida River Terrace", which was selected as one of the Eight Night Views of Chuo-ku.

It is a good spot where you can relax not only at night but also during the daytime while watching the boat going through the river.

Until just this time, the row of cherry blossom trees along the river, which showed a pretty pink space, is now covered with refreshing fresh greenery and shakes in a pleasant river breeze.

If you go further upstream, you can enjoy the course while looking at the remaining famous bridges in order of the Sumida River Yatsuhashi, which is designated as "18 Views of Ohako in Chuo-ku".

On this day, I walked across Tsukuda and along the river for a while, and looked back at the Aioi Bridge over the Harumi Canal. You can also see Eitai Bridge. The wind of May blowing will carry the faint fragrance of flowers.

Do you not go out for pleasant "walking in ward"?
