This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.
The other day, I went out to Toyosu in Koto-ku, a little next door.
What I want to see at a nearby movie theater (a movie version of the classic program for children who loves 3-year-old daughter Azuki, "Momo with Mom") is not being screened, so an expedition to Toyosu movie theater! That's right.
I'm very satisfied with having lunch and enjoying the movie!
・・・ "Oh, it's not related to Chuo-ku at all!"
Well, please stay with me until the end.
As you may know, there is a do
ck at "LaLaport" in Toyosu.
That's right. "Himiko", where you can see the Sumida River from the Chuo-ku side, also stop here.
It's shown at the back of the photo. Can you tell me? It's like a spacecraft.
That should be the case, and the design is Reiji Matsumoto of "Galaxy Railroad 999".
When I look at the Sumida River at home, I'm talking about that ship cool.
And why is it here?
"LaLaport Toyosu" was originally the place where IHI (Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries) first factory (shipyard) was located.
That's right. IHI。
Shipbuilding began at the end of the Edo period on Ishikawajima Island in Chuo-ku.
It's Koto-ku, but it's slightly Chuo-ku flavor (?) Do you think it's an area where you can do it?
Well, if you go beyond the Harumi Canal, it's Chuo-ku.
So, in this way, we use the place where there was originally a dock for shipbuilding in the remnants.
And this is a comfortable place for everyone.
There are a lot of big benches, which is perfect for relaxing.
What I saw that I was relaxing
It's like this.
The scenery of Chuo-ku on the opposite bank spreads out in front of you.
You can see the St. Luke's Tower of Tsukiji in the distance.
"... that? That brown-looking bridge!"
Edamame, the correspondent's soul has been exhausted.
Let's walk to Tsukishima on the way back! And
When I took a walk, I tried a little closer.
Yes, this is the "Harumi Bridge".
It is a place where senior correspondents have taken up several times before, but once again.

From 1957 to 1989, it was used as a bridge where a dedicated cargo line connecting Harumi Wharf and the freight station, Echinakajima passed.
However, freight routes that have been replaced by truck transportation.
It was abolished in 1989 and at the same time this bridge was no longer used.
※Regarding the notation ...
The Harumi Bridge is a Wikipedia, and the Harumi Railway Bridge is a record of IHI, the creator of the bridge.
And Google map says "Harumi Bridge" ...
So, there are various notations in various situations.
It's the same thing.
From the riverbank on the Toyosu side.
It is surrounded by a large fence so that you can't get into the track.
You can see the railroad tracks over there.
Because it is a bridge that is aging, there are talks about redevelopment.
I don't think it's going well so far.
However, last summer, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced medium- to long-term guidelines on the development of marine parks.

Among them, the plan for the promenade of this bridge was mentioned.
※Page 46 of the linked PDF
"In addition to securing a walking space at the waterfront, such as by converting the former Harumi Railway Bridge, which has historical value, into promenade, we will promote the creation of a waterside environment where various creatures live by improving sandy beaches and near-natural seawalls."
There is a description.
Will it be an opportunity for future maintenance?
I would like to look forward to it.
That's why it was about Chuo-ku, seen from the other side of the river.
The scenery of Chuo-ku, which can be seen from a slightly different angle than usual, is also good.
★An extra★
The route I walked this time is as shown in the map on ↑.
What should be noteworthy is ...
It means "All Barrier-Free!"
The Harumi Bridge, which is run in parallel with the Harumi Bridge, is also available.
The Asashio Ohashi Bridge, which crosses the Harumi area to the Tsukishima area.
There is a large sidewalk without stairs
It was the best route for strolling in a stroller.
From the promenade along the canal leading from LaLaport Toyosu
There was a slope to go to Harumi Bridge and the movement was smooth.
Recently, azuki has begun to walk properly, and the use of strollers has decreased.
I was often not conscious of "barrier-free routes".
I think it's actually important information for children, so I'll leave it behind.
