"Watercolor City" This is the nickname of Koto-ku.
Facing Tokyo Bay, this area has a rich waterside scenery where canals and bridges intersect.
Chuo-ku is adjacent to the Sumida River.
We had the opportunity to participate as a correspondent of the tourist association at the "Onboard Guide Training Workshop" conducted by Chuo-ku and Koto-ku in cooperation.
This is a training program that I would like to participate even if I apply for an annual leave to the company.
After classroom lectures, on March 6, I actually boarded and went around the canal.
While watching the real thing on board, the instructor will give explanations about the surrounding landscape and buildings.
In addition to the diversity of urban landscapes that are developing one after another, the appeal of this training was to see the various stadiums and planned construction sites where many competitions will be held at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
I boarded the water bus "common kingfisher".
Because it is a compact hull, you can navigate the Onagi River and the Nihonbashi River.
It starts from Takahashi boarding area facing the Onagi River in Takahashi, Koto-ku.
Looking at Ecchu Island from the Sumida River to the left, Harumi Canal, Toyosu Canal, Sunacho Canal, Akebono Canal. See Yumenoshima and Tatsumi no Mori Seaside Park on both banks, see the gate bridge over Shinkiba's storage yard, and the Tatsumi Canal and Shinonome Canal. While looking at the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, turn the Toyomi Fisheries Wharf on your right and return to the Sumida River. This is a course where you get off the boat at Nihonbashi Pier on the shore of Sojuro on the Nihonbashi River.
I wrote that, but I am used to traveling by railway and road on a daily basis.
Check the position by turning around the map at hand.
Oh, I've been here now.
Bridges and bridges are the best ally for checking the movement position from the ship.
General roads, car-only roads, railway bridges.
Not only the many types of bridge shape, but also the fun of multiple overlapping combinations. I am also impressed with the ingenuity of the paint used.
After all, the landscape created by the bridge with both arms widened is a picture of the season, along with its background.
And looking up at the sluice gate from just below is quite thrilling.
Tokyo is a waterside city that has expanded offshore off Tokyo Bay. Tower condominiums and housing complexes that rise in the coastal area. High-rise buildings in schools and hospitals.
These thick sluice gates have protected people's lives and lives.
The height of towers and chimneys is also an important landmark.
If the Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower are reflected in the field of view, the tension will still increase.
The position where both towers can be seen is the Golden Point.
The Sumida River Terrace seen from the water can be distinguished from the surrounding buildings only where they are jogging occasionally, and can you guide around here?
As I always think, when you go out to the waterside, the sky of Tokyo feels wide.
However, today, due to the rapid development of low pressure, it is said that the Yayoi cold air flows violently.
The perceived temperature on the water was rather severe, and it made me think that he was wearing thicker clothes.
Still, today is "Keihaku"
The footsteps of spring should be near.
After a few weeks, the area around the canal will be colored with flowers because of the severe cold. It's coming soon.
Let's warm your body from inside with sake in the finished Nihonbashi area.
Thank you very much for your support.
