Walk along the Hakozaki River, Hamacho River & Ryuka River!

[Hikoharu Co., Ltd.] March 6, 2018 12:00

This time, we are planning to walk along the Hakozaki River, Hamacho River & Ryuka River, which have now been reclaimed.

As a course, start the Hakozaki Pumping Station on the Sumida River and pass through the Hakozaki River, Hamacho River & Ryuka River.

We aim for Ryukan Bridge on Sotobori-dori St.

First, the photo on the left is the Hakozaki Pump Station seen from Kiyosu Bridge. Tributaries of Sumida River and Hakozaki River

It will start from the junction. It is located on the site of the Hakozaki River tributary.

Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. is located.

After passing the Tokyo City Air Terminal, you will see Arima Elementary School on your right.

From here, we will enter Hamacho Ryokudo. This is the confluence of the Hakozaki River and Hamacho River.

This is the start of the Hamacho River.

Hamacho Ryokudo continues across Shin-ohashi Bridge Street.

A cute flower welcomes you on the Hamacho Green Road.

And at the intersection with amazake Yokocho, Benkei welcomes us.

The photo on the left shows the Nihonbashi Fire Station Ningyocho branch office.

And after passing the intersection in front of Hisamatsu Police Station, the Hamacho Ryokudo is over.

After passing the Hisamatsucho Kuminkan, there is still a chain-type store built immediately after the war.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government established the Ryuka River in 1948 and the Hamacho River in 1950 as a measure to treat debris after the war.

It's reclaimed.

And after the Kurakake Bridge, you will see Takemori Shrine.

Then, when you enter from the Chuo-ku side, you enter at Ryukan Children's Amusement Park from Chiyoda-ku side, and at this point of Ryukan Children's Park.

The Hamacho River and the Ryuka River joined together. The photo in the middle shows the Ryukan River crossing at right angles.

I think it's a coincidence.

Then turn left here. Such a narrow alley was the border between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku.

I think it's a more trafficy road next to it, but until 1947, there was the Ryukan River.

What is it?

The photo in the middle is Fukuda Inari Shrine. It is a very old shrine that was founded in 711.

After crossing Showa-dori, there was a reclamation monument of the Ryukagawa River.

The photo in the middle is Inari Shrine, both shrines.

And it is a monument to the site of Imagawa Bridge.

The signboard of the store is coming out to the center of the road. Large cars will not be able to pass.

Then go through the underpass of JR.

The main pillar of Ryukan Bridge (Japan's first reinforced concrete bridge) was left.

The photo in the middle is the junction of the Nihonbashi River and the Ryukan River.

There are a number of place names in Tokyo, but in fact, both rivers and bridges remain.

There is no, but I still felt that it was still a place name and conveys history to us.

It was this town walk.
