The Eitai Bridge over the Sumida River was bridged in Genroku 6 (1693) 150M upstream from its current location.
The exterior is solid, and it feels like a man.
There was a sad event on this bridge a long time ago.
At that time, it took enormous money to repair and maintain the bridge, and there was a danger of flooding and burning, and the Shogunate left Ryogoku Bridge.
The Eitai Bridge has been abolished. The townspeople left the bridge by maintaining them on their own.
I couldn't repair it.
On August 19, 1807, Eitai Bridge was broken at the festival (Note) of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine.
It was very busy with the revival of the festival for the first time in 34 years, and the festival on the 15th was extended by rain, and it was the 19th.
Until the Hitotsubashi family passed under the bridge, the bridge was closed, and as soon as it was lifted, the townspeople stopped the bridge all at once.
As I crossed, the middle was broken down. Unknown crowds ran out, the bridge was broken, and many were throwing.
I was drowned out and drowned. That number is 440.
I can't remember now, but recently I've heard interesting stories from old men.
In the 1930s, he climbed and descended the arch of that bridge and played instead of a slide.
He said he was looking down at the cars coming and going from above. It seems that neither adult nor policeman was angry at anything.
When I looked at the bridge, I somehow wanted to go up and see it. But let's stop because it's dangerous.
The shrine parishioner of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine is located not only in Koto-ku, but also in Shinkawa and Reigishima, Chuo-ku. For a festival
portable shrine walks across the Eitai Bridge. In the Edo period, there were many floats in addition to portable shrine, as well as stalls and dances.
The food stalls were also very busy.
