[Sumida River Night Walk] Ryogokubashi → Kachidokibashi~Part 2~

[Sumida Fireworks] August 19, 2014 08:10

Night walk scenery on the Sumida River Terrace. Last time, it was the scenery from Ryogoku Bridge to Toyomi Bridge and Eitai Bridge, but this time we will go down to Kachidokibashi.

After passing Eitai Bridge, you will first go to the terrace in the Shinkawa area, where you will go down while watching the beautiful night view.


After passing that place, the relatively new bridge "Chuo-ohashi Bridge" appears.

Many bridges on the Sumida River are picturesque, but this bridge is also a beautiful bridge with a beautiful white pillar shape. Since the support is very high, the whole cannot be fit in the photo unless it is far away.

The photo was seen from the downstream side. The building on the right is a group of high-rise apartments called "Okawabata River City 21" on the opposite bank, and the night view is very beautiful.



Looking back on the downstream side, there is "Reigan Island water level station".

If you look at it at night, it looks like a space station. The three-dimensional observation room in the middle is the shape of a diagonal duode. Depending on where you see it, it looks like it changes to square, square hexagon, and octagon.



The Sumida Terrace is interrupted because the Kamejima River joins the Sumida River again here. Cross "Minami Takahashi" over the Kamejima River.

This bridge uses a part of the former Ryogoku Bridge as it is, resulting in a bridge that conveys the appearance of Meiji period today. It feels like it's going through rather than crossing the bridge.




It is the area around Tsukuda Island that goes out on the terrace again and sees on the opposite bank. The monument of Ishikawajima Lighthouse shines.

After this, go under the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge and the terrace goes directly below the St. Luke's Tower. From this place, it is the scenery of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge and Tsukuda Island on the opposite bank.
s_hanabi7-5.jpgBeyond Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, there is an old nostalgic cityscape of Tsukuda Island, and if you look at it in this way, you can see that skyscrapers like giants are looking down around it.



And near Kachidokibashi, the last goal point. The city of Kachidoki, which can be seen on the opposite bank, is a very bright place with high-rise apartments lined up.
s_hanabi7-6.jpgAround Kachidoki, we are currently under construction in various places, and it seems that high-rise tower apartments can be built in the future. I think the scenery of the night will change every moment.



As mentioned above, it was an introduction of the scenery from Sumida River Terrace at night twice.

The daytime scenery is wonderful, but at night there is a world that looks different. The same applies to Ginza and Nihonbashi. I hope you will enjoy Chuo-ku at night.
