Tokyo Waterside Cruise: Wish for Reconstruction by People 90 Years ago

During this time, many other bridges were built on the Sumida River. About two weeks from Great East Japan Earthquake. It is difficult to get on the road to reconstruction, but when I learned that people 90 years ago built several bridges after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I looked up at the sky tree towering over the blue sky while remembering the song `` Bridge over tomorrow '' I was
