Currently under redevelopment, Otemachi 2-chome district.
A new bridge will be built in this area that crosses Chiyoda-ku and Chuo-ku across the Nihonbashi River! The name is "Ryukan Sakura Bridge". It is scheduled to open next spring. It's just about the cherry blossoms.
I looked up at Ryukan Sakura Bridge from Nihonbashi River.
Crossing the bridge along with JR, it is a nice view for railway fans.
There was a moat called the Ryukangawa River at the southern road from the current Ryukanbashi intersection to the Higashi-Kamida 1 intersection, just at the border between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku. It is an artificial waterway that has been reclaimed and dug several times from Edo to the postwar period, and has been completely reclaimed today in Heisei. However, traces and features of important diggings remain here and there, and the current intersection name also uses the name of the bridge that was built over the Ryukan River.
Due to this history, the word "Ryukan" was included in the name of this new bridge.
The location is between Tokyo Station and Kanda Station, near Shin-Tokiwa Bridge. As a result of this redevelopment, a skyscraper with commercial facilities and offices will be built....Rather, I am very much looking forward to creating a promenade and promenade on the banks of the Nihonbashi River where you can enjoy cherry blossoms. The gradual connection between Otemachi and Nihonbashi is expected to change the flow of people.
Next spring, I hope you will enjoy a walk around Nihonbashi in spring evening and Hanami.
