The part that was being constructed on the bank of the Sumida River in the spring was completed. This time, I would like to report on this bank.The location is the border between Nihonbashinakasu and Nihonbashihamacho. It is a place where the overpass of the expressway collides with the Sumida River. Under the highway, it was named Ayame Park, and as a result of construction, the park was connected to the Sumida River Terrace. As part of the Sumida River embankment maintenance project, other works were also performed here.
By the way, in the old days, this park, expressway, and the whole area up to this bank was a waterway (river) that created the topography of Nakasu between Nihonbashihamacho and Nihonbashinakasu. You can also find the ruins of dike.
This bank is very narrow, but if you go up the stairs from the Ayame Daini Park side, you will suddenly come out from the shade of the highway to the bright space of the Sumida River Terrace. I actually went up, but the space in front of it was a gap because the space in front of it was an expressway, the fire department on the left, the bank on the front, and the apartment group on the right I felt a very open and refreshing feeling. At that time, I enjoyed the change of space.
The bank itself has been well maintained and cleaned, but it is not so large. There is a two-person bench there.
Because it is a little high on the bank, the scenery seen from there is an open one. You can see the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is open and prosperous. And the traffic of the Sumida River. You can see Kiyosu Bridge on the downstream side.
The opposite bank is the area where the Basho Memorial Hall in Koto-ku and the Mannenbashi Bridge are located. It's a pleasant bench even if you sit down slowly. Isn't it a great place to see the Sumida River, which has been loved by the common people since the Edo period? Probably, it is expected to be a place for many people to relax in the future.
From there, take a walk on the Sumida River Terrace, and the upstream leads to Shinohashi and Hamacho Park, and the downstream leads to Kiyosubashi. It seems that the number of places where you want to stay on your feet during the walk has increased again.
