　One of the biggest epoques in history after the bridge of Eitai Bridge in the Edo period was the Eitai Bridgefall incident at the Fukagawa Hachimangu Shrine Festival on August 19, 1807. It seems that there have been more than 1,500 casualties.

　Later, Peace pagoda and memorial monuments were built in Fukagawaji-machi* Kaifuku-ji (relocated to Meguro in 1910). Shiomi guardian of children and travelers is quietly built here at 2-16-16 Minato, Chuo-ku to memorialize the victims of the Eitai Bridge. However, it seems that this is also a spiritual test for toothache healing.

　If you go through the small park on the side and go to the Sumida River Terrace, the other side of the Sumida River is Tsukuda* Ishikawajima Lighthouse. Looking up the line of sight upstream, behind Chuo-ohashi Bridge is Eitai Bridge and Fukagawa.

Speaking of which, this is the Reisai Festival of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Fukagawa from the 13th of this month. On the 16th, the Shinto Festival (Ninomiya carrying of miniature shrines) and a half large mikoshi will come to Shinkawa, Chuo-ku.
