Promenade at the site of Kaikaikan and secret places

[The cat on the slope] April 12, 2010 16:23

From famous tourist spots such as Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine and Nishinaka-dori.

Perhaps because it's a bit far away, there are not many visitors, but

Along the revetment facing the Harumi Canal at Tsukuda 3-chome can be said to be a well-known promenade.

 

There is a monument to the site of the Kaikaikan. Kaikaikan was established in 1905.

This is the Kappo cuisine Ryokan. At that time, Tokyo Bay spread out in front of you, and you can see the mountains of Boso.

It was said that many cultural people stayed at Kaikaikan because it was a scenic place.

Toson Shimazaki's "Spring" and Kaoru Osanai's "Okawabata" are works born here.

"Let's see the winter sea and make the New Tsukuda Sea Water Museum wabi live."

(From Isamu Yoshii, songbook "Poison Utsugi")

 

And there is another highlight that is never listed in the guidebook.

Along the inside of the revetment, there are mini gardens as far as the eye can see.

Seasonal flowers are planted in each block.

It would be fun to walk while comparing it to the next block.

Use this kind of seawall, which is only a concrete fence, to enjoy the enjoyment of eco and horticulture.

What is it? It is a hat to the flexible ideas and aesthetics of the local people.
