The charm of Chuo-ku-ku-"Sumida River and Seine" ... Part 1 ≪Bridge≫

[Shitamachi Tom] September 17, 2011 08:30

 This is the first in a series that visits the charm of each town through the real faces of these two rivers, which are affiliated with the Sumida River, Seine and Friendship Rivers. Of course, as a result, you will feel the wonderfulness of Chuo-ku. I would like to introduce it from my own perspective.

 

First of all, it's a bridge. Speaking of "river", it's a "bridge", but after all, a unique bridge becomes a picture and becomes more familiar.ship

In Chuo-ku, "Sumida River Yatsuhashi" is selected among "Ohako 18 Views".

All the bridges in the city are unique and friendly, but the coolest design is [Kiyosu Bridge]. It is a good shooting spot due to the bendness of the Sumida River.

Of course, all the other bridges are very cool. I guess each person has a favorite bridge.

In Paris, [Pon Nuff] is famous.
It means "new bridge", but it seems that it was the oldest bridge. Tourists are always taking commemorative photos. camera

Another thing I would like to introduce is [Alexander III Bridge] that decorates the Seine as the most luxurious bridge.
It is in front of the tourist attraction [Great Palace], and you will be fascinated by the wonderful sculptures.

Kachidokibashi, famous as the most downstream bridge of the Sumida River, is also a unique bridge.
It doesn't open or close anymore, but it's a famous bridge that you can think of along with its history.


Chuo-ku has been a “city of water” since ancient times, with water transportation and people coming and going. Just as the current [Sukiyabashi] became the stage of "Your Name", many famous bridges have produced many dramas.

The bridge is a place where people come and go. Where something meets. A place where culture interacts. ・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Remains in memories in various situations.heart

It's a good idea to sit on the railing of the bridge and look at the scenery of the town at a moment.
