Bridge over the Sumida River

[Blowing of Koi in Satsuki] 09:00 on July 28, 2015

Minami Takahashi
I feel that the bridge where the central part of the former Ryogoku Bridge was relocated and the diagonal bracing are characteristic.
As a road bridge that can be passed by car, it is the oldest bridge in Tokyo, and it has historically weight.
There is no old (decayed) in a bad sense.
It was painted a few years ago, and the sidewalk was repaved. You can see that it is important.

Toyomi-bashi Bridge
As written in the guide booklet, this bridge is characteristic in the form of lying down a ladder.
I can remember about Toyomi Bridge.
Ten years or more ago, a movie or something was filmed on the Hakozaki side of this Toyomi Bridge.
I saw what was being done. I didn't know how to shoot at this time, but
Later, I happened to see a movie called "Dead Flower" and realized that it was filmed here (I think it's probably true).
I don't have a clear memory, and when I check it on the Internet
Hisaya Mori, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Ken Utsui, Yukio Aoshima, Kei Tani, Takuya Fujioka
Eiji Kitamura of jazz clarinet
There were very gorgeous people who appeared. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the faces of these actors.

I was shooting along the river on the right side of Toyomi Bridge.

Both Toyomi Bridge and Minami Takahashi are illuminated at night and have a different expression.

 

 

If you walk along the Sumida River Terrace, you can see various bridges.

Seafood Bridge
The river was reclaimed and the bridge was removed, but it was a bridge over the entrance of Tsukiji Market.
Now, as you can see in the photo, we have left a main pillar (like a tower).

There was a sea bridge here.

It looks like a tower.

 

Next time, I would like to cross this seafood bridge (trace) and enter the in-house market.

Well, at the end, I think the bridge over the Sumida River is beautiful, but there is one thing I don't like.
This is the name of a recent bridge (after Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge). (Aside from Shinohashi)
Sumida River Ohashi, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, etc., I don't think it's funny at XX Ohashi.
What do you think?
