Sumida River Terrace _Chuo-ohashi Bridge

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] July 28, 2018 18:00

This is the site of the Tsukuda Island ferry port that I mentioned last time at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. As you can see in the explanation, there are the same monuments on both banks of the Sumida River, Tsukuda and Minato.

If you go through Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, you will find water level station on the opposite bank. It has a unique shape, so you can easily see it. Located at the confluence of the Sumida River and the Kamejima River, the sluice gate in the photo is the Kamejima River sluice gate. This was also included in this year's examination.

By the way, you can see the modern beauty supported by the wire that Chuo-ohashi Bridge is approaching.

Cross the bridge and head toward Shinkawa, this is a great photo spot, and many people take pictures of Eitai Bridge in the background of the Sky Tree in earnest with a tripod.

Another thing I would like you to look at is the messenger statue. It was given by Jack Sirak, the mayor of Paris at the time to commemorate the friendly river between the Sumida River and the Paris Seine. It is said that Tokyo donated a houseboat as a thank you.

As soon as you cross the bridge and go right along the Sumida River, there is a cherry blossom that blooms early nearby and blooms more than one month earlier every year. It seems to be called "kawazu-zakura" and blooms from late January to February.

Shinkawa Park between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Eitai Bridge is a famous spot for cherry blossoms.

Next time, we will go through Shinkawa Park to Eitai Bridge.
