It used to be a river

[Blowing of Koi in Satsuki] 09:00 on September 20, 2015

As you know, the Metropolitan Expressway is built on a river as represented by the vicinity of Nihonbashi, or
There are many places that have been reclaimed and constructed, such as near Ginza.
In such a background, I would like to introduce the place where the river once flowed.

This is where you can see St. Luke Hospital in front of you. This is a parking lot next to Tsukiji Market,

Once upon a time a river was flowing.

Proceeding toward St. Luke's, the place that became Tsukiji River Park would have been planned for the Metropolitan Expressway lamp before,

It was on the road slope. When I was a child, heavy snow fell to Tokyo, and I took out adult skiing and played for a short distance.
It's a little memory, but I think it was published in a newspaper with a photo in a column during heavy snow. (Maybe daily sports)

Proceed to Shin-Tomicho, the intersection of Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge Street

Parks and playgrounds are located on the side of Irifune Bridge and underground.

If you go down the stairs and go ahead, it is closed with wire mesh, but you can imagine that it will lead to Tsukiji River Park and Shin-Tomicho Metropolitan Expressway Lamp earlier.

It was seen from Shin-Tomicho toward Irifunebashi. The road on the left should be following Irifune Hashimoto.

In this way, there is a mysterious place around Tsukiji where the road construction plan seems to have been stalled.
