Happy New Year. We want to send rare information of Chuo-ku this year too. We look forward to seeing you again this year.
That's why I went to Harumi early in the New Year. Harumi, Chuo-ku, used to be famous for having the Tokyo International Trade Fair venue. When I was a student, I remember going to the Tokyo Motor Show several times. It's been since then, so it's been the first time in decades. First, we started at Harumi Wharf, the southernmost tip of Chuo-ku.
The photo shows the view of Tokyo Port from Harumi Wharf. Tokyo Port was very beautiful and quiet.
As soon as you walk toward Kachidoki Station with the Harumi Wharf behind, you will see a building with a high chimney on your right.
The Central Incineration Plant was built on the site of the Tokyo International Trade Fair. It seems that the chimney is 177.5 meters long. The residual heat of the factory is supplied to the adjacent Plaza Harumi.
A monument to "Harumi Trade Fair Venue" is set up on the premises. And after the Tsukishima Police Station, there is an explanation version of the site of the Japan World Exposition Secretariat Building.
In Harumi, construction of an athlete village has begun for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Toyosu Ohashi, Reimei Ohashi and Tsukiji Ohashi have already been bridged. However, it has not yet been used due to the postponement of the relocation of Tsukiji Market to Toyosu.
That's why you can take a little strange picture.
The photo on the left is a photo facing Tsukiji from Harumi 5-chome intersection.
The central photo shows a photo of dawn Ohashi from Asashio Kobashi.

None of the roads are used, so no one car is shown.
It is a signboard with the place name erased and a signboard with nothing written.
The photo on the left is Tsukiji Ohashi. Of course, the opposite side will be the Tsukiji market. There is no road from here yet.
The photo on the right is Kachidokibashi. It doesn't open now, but it is famous as a Futaba jumping bridge. The most downstream bridge of the Sumida River was the Tsukiji Ohashi Bridge.
And I came to Shinmayama Toyo-in, where the tomb of Tokasha 19, which wrote Tokaido knee chestnut hair.
I found a shrine-like building in the immediate vicinity of Toyoin. It was resting place of portable shrines in Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine. The reclamation of the Tsukishima area progressed, and as the shrine parishioner area expanded, an inn was set up as a place of worship.
This walk around Harumi Kachidoki was very interesting. Starting from Tsukuda Island in the Edo period, landfills with Tsukishima and Harumi progressed, and now the Tokyo Olympics are about to be celebrated in 2020, this area is about to change again. There are a lot of scenery that can only be seen now. Cold days continue, but I would like you to visit Harumi and Kachidoki and experience the changing cityscape and scenery with your own eyes.
