Sumida River Terrace _Eitai Bridge

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] August 26, 2018 12:00

The Eitai Bridge Bridge was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 50th Edo shogunate Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, and was the first bridge on the Sumida River for a long time until Kachidokibashi was built in 1940. There is a stone monument about 200m upstream from now, but it has been removed due to the construction of Toyomi Bridge.

After Akaho Nanji's defeat at Kira Uenosuke Yashiki, he crossed the Sumida River using this bridge. There is a place where we took a break on the Koto-ku side.

The current Eitai Bridge is one of the reconstruction projects following the Great Kanto Earthquake, built in 1926 and has been designated as a national important cultural property. The Bank of Japan was founded in Hakozakicho, near Eitai Bridge, not the main building of the current Nihonbashi Bank of Japan head office.

Walk through Shinkawa Park from Chuo-ohashi Bridge to Eitai Bridge.

There are many scenic spots along the Sumida River, and there are many cherry blossom viewing spots, but this is also one of the best places. Many people enjoy cherry blossom viewing during the cherry blossom season. Last time I introduced kawazu-zakura, but there is also a tree that blooms early in Eitai Bridge Nishizume (about two weeks earlier than the cherry blossoms along Shinkawa Park) and blooms next to kawazu-zakura.

Eitai Bridge also passes under the bridge, but the road is low here, so be careful when passing because it is flooded when the tide is full.
