Once known as the gorgeous flower district of Tokyo, [Yanagibashi] is now one of the place names in Taito Ward, but it is derived from the name of the edge over Chuo-ku. It's just where the Kanda River pours out into the Sumida River.


It retains a small but elegant form in the downtown atmosphere.


Speaking of the stars in Hanamachi, geisha. geisha Yanagibashi is known throughout the country. I think of the gorgeous appearance that crosses this bridge.

At the foot of the bridge, there is a monument indicating the origin of [Yanagibashi]. In the Edo period, rice breweries called [Asakusa Mikura] lined up, and it was a place where river boats frequently come and go.

Looking at the other side of the bridge, it reminds me of the sight of a former boat coming and going.

For a walk from here, it is recommended that you go from around Bakurocho to Hamacho and Ningyocho. It is a fun walking area with a number of highlights.
