Attraction of Chuo-ku-ku-"Sumida River and Seine" ... ≪Introduction≫

[Shitamachi Tom] September 15, 2011 11:30

So far, I've introduced some of my favorite spots in Chuo-ku, but in order to further promote international appeal, I would like to explore the depth while comparing it with the scenery of Paris, France. .


For a long time, I have always thought that Chuo-ku should be confident and proud as a base of Japanese urban culture that should be comparable to international cities around the world. I think there is actually much content and ability. In other words, I want to be a good rival with central towns such as London, Paris and New York.

Above all, Paris City has a sister city tie-up with Tokyo in 1982 (Showa 57), and the country celebrated the 150th anniversary of Japan-France exchange three years ago. The ultimate goal is the connection between the Sumida River-Seine Friendship River, which was partnered in 1989 (Heisei).

In a corner of Tsukuda Park, there is a wooden sign indicating the "Sumida River / Seine Friendship River Memorial Tree Planting".

In addition, there is [Paris Square] in Ishikawajima Park, which is a spot where you can feel international goodwill.



At this time, the French president Jack Sirak at that time was donated to the [Messenger Statue] standing in the central part of Chuo-ohashi Bridge.
I was impressed by the appearance of watching the flow of the Sumida River

Seine is also a "signboard actor" who supports Paris, the world's best international tourist city.




Through the center of Paris and Tokyo, I would like to touch on the charm while comparing the views of these two friendly rivers, which are familiar to both residents and tourists. I hope you can get along with me.
