Chuo-ku is a city of water.
Rivers and canals have been reclaimed and have decreased considerably, but it is still a town surrounded by water. In addition, because it faces the sea, it also has the character of "seaside town".
One day in the rainy season sky, I walked toward [Toyomi Fisheries Wharf].
This area, where many fisheries company buildings are found, plays a role in supporting the dietary life of Tokyo. According to the story I heard while frozen warehouses are lined up, how to secure power in the power saving this summer is a very big issue.
As I walked further, I saw a big truck coming and going. When I looked at the license plate, it was [Miyako Port, Iwate Prefecture].
I'm relieved to think that the goods in the area damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake have reached Tokyo in this way.
I will walk to the tip of Toyomi-cho. If you come to this point, the view spreads at once, and you can see the Rainbow Bridge and Takeshiba Pier on the opposite bank.
Invited by the scent of the tide, I stood on the quay for a while and entrusted myself to the rhythm of the waves.
Kaitakamaru, a training boat belonging to the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology) is moored to shore.
It is said that what was once used as a special ship of the Navy was remodeled after the war, but the brilliant figure is well reflected in Tokyo Bay.
Why don't you visit the real face of "Port Town" Chuo-ku occasionally? I think you will notice a new charm.
