The Hakozaki River consisted of a main stream of 1.06 km from Nihonbashinakasu to Nihonbashi River, and a tributary of 0.12 km between Nihonbashinakasu and Nihonbashihakozakicho. And in 1971, the main stream was reclaimed and disappeared in 1972. At this time, Nihonbashihakozakicho and Nihonbashinakasu became the first land connected to Nihonbashikakigaracho and Nihonbashihamacho. By the way, Nihonbashinakasu has a single town name that does not have a "Chome". The reclaimed land has the Metropolitan Expressway and the Tokyo City Air Terminal.
This project is to walk along the site of Hakozaki River.
The starting point will be a little upstream of Kiyosu Bridge. Even today, there was a sluice gate.
When I got off the Sumida River Terrace, it was Ayame Daini Park. Ayame's name comes from Shobu Bridge on the Hakozaki River. The photo on the right seems to be the revetment of the Hakozaki River. The seawall curves to the right, but this land was the tip of Nakasu.

From the bridge in the foreground to Otokobashi and Shobu Bridge Membashi. In other words, it was taken from the Nakasu tip area to Hamacho and Kakigara-cho.
Walking through Ayame Park, you can see a number of revetments of the Hakozaki River.

The photo above shows Shobu Bridge in the Showa 30s below shows the current ruins of Shobu Bridge. The top of the Hakozaki River is the Metropolitan Expressway. Kotohira-gu Shrine is located behind the trees on the right side of the upper and lower photo. Kotohira-gu Shrine still stands at the base of Shobu Bridge.
The photo on the upper left is from the front of Kotohiragu Shrine. If you look at Tamagaki contributors, you will notice that there were many Kappo cuisine restaurants such as Yayoi Nakashu Kappo cuisine, Mita Nakashu Kappo cuisine, Nakashu Kappo cuisine Nakashu. Today Nakasu is full of condominiums and I can't imagine that there was such a Kappo cuisine restaurant in Nakasu. And it is Masago-za that must not be forgotten in Nakasu.

The photo above is Masago-za in the Taisho era. The photo below is a stone monument of the site of Masago-za, which remains sorry for the planting part of the apartment.
"Masago-za was built in January 1893 in Nakashu-cho, Nihonbashi-ku, and was named after its name in the drama history from the latter half of the Meiji era to the Taisho era, eventually connecting a free theater and later developing into a Tsukiji Small Theater. Abbreviation
・・・ Since 2014, Nakashu was Masago-za, and Masago-za was synonymous with Chushu."
"From the history of Chuo-ku,"
However, due to the inconvenience of the location, the number of customers was far away, and in 1917 it was closed.
And when you walk to the entrance of the Metropolitan Expressway Hamacho, it used to be the junction of the Hakozaki River and Hamacho River.
In the photo, the right is Mebashi, the front is Kawaguchi Bridge, and the front is Hamacho River ahead.

At present, it is the entrance to Hamacho Ryokudo Park.
Then cross the Tokyo City Air Terminal and head toward Hakozaki. I also found the revetment of the Hakozaki River next to the sidewalk that I have visited hundreds of times so far. I regretted a little that I didn't notice anything when I walked with B.
The photo in the lower left is a photo of Kakigara-cho from Shin-Eikyu Bridge. The photo at the bottom right shows the current photo. The photo on the left is probably in the 1940s. The window frame of the building on the left side of the photo matches the sign of the dental under the window.

And I came to Hakozaki River Daini Park and Hakozaki River Daiichi Park.
This is also the end of this city walk. I can see the sluice gate of the Kamejima River.
Hakozaki River, the revetment traces still remain everywhere. I wondered that Nihonbashinakasu is now coming and going as usual, but it wasn't connected to land until just 46,47 years ago. It was also a good opportunity to reconfirm the history of Nihonbashinakasu.
It's been a hot day since then. Be sure to practice hats and frequent water supply when walking around the city.
