Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Although it has been a little vacant, it is a continuation of [Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures] river and bridge.
(Click here for articles on rivers and bridges so far → (1) and (2))
This time, it is said that the junction of the three rivers, the bridge before and after that, and the four bridges are featured.

First of all, about the confluence of the three rivers and the bridge before and after that.
Suddenly, it's a problem!
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Nihonbashi River joins the Sumida River?
・Where is the Nihonbashi River divided into the Kamejima River near (place name)?
・What is the first bridge to be built after the Kamejima River joins the Sumida River?

I don't dare to answer this time, but those who can't answer the above problem suddenly.
Why don't you check before the test?

Next, it is said that the characteristics of the bridge 4 can be effectively remembered by actually seeing, writing (drawing)!
