Hello, this is Minori
.
From Kachidokibashi, we could see the Tsukiji Market.
Kachidokibashi is built from Tsukiji 6-chome to Kachidoki 1-chome.
Take Harumi-dori St. toward Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line
and you will get to Kachidoki Station.
At Tsukishima Daini Children's Park
(1-9-8 Kachidoki) between Kachidoki Station and Tsukishima Daini Elementary School, "marche of the Sun"
is held every second weekend. There are rare vegetables and fruits, handmade items and specialty products at the storefront. (The event will be held from 10:00 to 17:00. Rainy weather will be canceled.)
Also, if you walk along Kiyosumi-dori toward Tokyo Bay
from that intersection, you will find Toyo-in, where the tomb of Tokasha 19 is located near Niijima Bridge, and Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Kachidoki 4-chome. .
(* Advance reservations are required for worshiping the tombs of Tokasha 19)
Alternatively, go straight on Harumi-dori St. from Kachidokibashi to the east side, cross the Asashio Canal at Reimei Bridge or the moving promenade "Triton Bridge", and you will reach Harumi Island Triton Square. The seasonal garden is beautiful here. In front of you is the Asashio Canal, which flows into Tokyo Bay.
In 1905, Kachidokibashi, volunteers from Kyobashi Ward set up a ferry port for ships connecting Tsukiji and Tsukishima on the opposite bank. The name "Kachidoki no Michi" commemorates the fall of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War, and after that, as Tsukishima developed as an industrial area, traffic demand increased, so it was built by collecting cutting-edge technologies at that time. Kachidokibashi was completed in 1940 (1904).
Futaba jumping bridge with a total length of about 246m and a width of about 26m. At the time of completion, it was called the best movable bridge in the East. Initially, the number jumped five times a day, but the number gradually decreased due to a decrease in ship operation volume and is now shut down.
At the Kachidokibashi Museum next to the Tsukiji Market Kachidoki Gate, valuable materials and related information related to the edge of the Sumida River, including Kachidokibashi, are displayed.
In addition, near the museum, there is a stone monument of "Kachidoki no Wadashi" built in 1905 (1905). In June 2007 (2007), it was designated as a national important cultural property by the evaluation of "a highly technically completed structure with the largest movable branch in Japan".
