There are many bridges in Chuo-ku, a waterside town. In particular, the Sumida River, which flows through the border with Koto-ku, has many unique bridges, including the 8 bridges of the Sumida River, which was also selected as one of the 18 Views of Ohako (selected by Chuo-ku Tourism Association in 2007). . Eitai Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Kachidokibashi, which are often introduced on correspondent blogs, are very popular, and you can immediately see where and shape are, but this time it is somewhat less famous compared to such a star-class bridge I will introduce "Aioi Bridge".![AioiB2.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/AioiB2.jpg)
The Sumida River, which flows from the direction of Senju and Asakusa, crosses the Eitai Bridge and hits Okawabata on Tsukuda Island, where it is divided into the main stream of the Sumida River passing through Chuo-ohashi Bridge and the Sumida River school river heading to the left. You. Aioi Bridge is a bridge that spans the faction river that flows to the left. Tsukishima and Tsukuda (island) are now connected to Tsukiji and Fukagawa areas (Koto-ku) by many bridges and subways, but at the time Tsukishima was built in 1892, as the name suggests, this is the Sumida River Nakashu, and access was only ferry (Tsukuda, Tsukishima). Therefore, in 1903, Aioi Bridge was built as the first bridge connecting Fukagawa (Ecchujima) and Tsukuda / Tsukishima districts. The name of Aioi Bridge is "The bridge relative to the upstream Eitai Bridge (Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction)" and "This bridge was a long and short bridge at the time of its founding, and is derived from two sets of "Aioi no Matsu" (wikipedia) ) ". Aioi Bridge consisted of two bridges (Aioi Ohashi: 147m, Aioi Kobashi: 53m) along Nakanoshima (Nakashu) floating in the school river. In 1980, the lower part of Aioi Kobashi (currently around the razor dike along Kiyosumi-dori) was reclaimed. Although it is connected to land, Nakanoshima still remains as a circular park with trees under Aioi Bridge Higashizume, and you can descend with stairs beside Kiyosumi-dori of the bridge. If you descend from the entrance on the upstream side (north side), there is a passage along the river, and you can go under the bridge to the other side. There are many parts of the Sumida River Terrace where proper sidewalks are maintained, but here you can feel like an adventure just because there are round stone pillars lined up. Going downstream (south side), it is a continuation of the park centered on lantern monuments.![AioiB5.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/30/AioiB5.jpg)
On the left is the Meiji Maru of Marine University, Toyosu Tower Condominiums and Harumi Bridge in front, and on the right you can see the whole view of Aioi Bridge. Aioi Bridge has a slightly sober impression compared to Eitai Bridge and Chuo-ohashi Bridge, which are lit up at night, but as shown in the photo, it is a bridge with a complicated truss structure that connects steel frames to "N" (or "X") characters. Of course, it is a beautiful bridge even at night, but its beauty seems to shine when it is lit by the sun. Although it is Koto-ku next door, Nakanoshima Park and Meiji Maru are said to have been selected as Koto Hakkei.![AioiB6.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/30/AioiB6.jpg)
Nakanoshima Park has long been known as a famous spot for viewing the moon, but as you can see, it has a structure where the water of the Sumida River enters inside. Especially on the full moon night, tide level is high, and after high tide or a large ship passes, the water comes in by the wave, so be careful and enjoy it.![AioiB7.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/30/AioiB7.jpg)
The Aioi Bridge itself is a bit plain, but the scenery seen from the bridge is superb. You can enjoy a wonderful night view such as a monument to light up the tower apartment in the Toyosu area and the Dock in Urban Dock LaLaport and Toyosu, as well as an airplane taking off from Haneda Airport to Tohoku and Hokkaido, and a new transportation Yurikamome running on Toyosu. You.![AioiB8.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/AioiB8.jpg)

Every year on the fourth day of New Year's Day, we hold a "Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour" hosted by Mitsukoshi.
Reception at the Muromachi exit of Mitsukoshi Main Store is a line from 50 people as usual.
The first Koami Shrine is a busy line of worshipers as usual.
Sugimori Shrine, which encompasses the only Japanese god Ebisu god in Seven Lucky Gods, is a shrine that stamps the proof of receipt of souvenirs at the goal site, so a reasonable line is natural.
This year, it was quite different from before, and lined up at the tip of the corner and beyond.
It is said that it will take an hour in the story of the person with the sign at the end, and I didn't wait for 20 minutes every year, so what is this year, monkeys flock in the year of monkeys, so human beings Do you have flocked in monkeys? They lined up while thinking about it.
Fortunately, the weather was fine and we waited for 40 minutes.
It wasn't a big deal at Koami Shrine's Doburoku Festival last November, considering that it was lined up in the cold sky for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

The "Special Light Up" of Tokyo Tower, which is lit according to weekends, anniversaries, events, promotions, etc.
In January, a limited time from 20:00 to 22:00 on Saturday, July 14, 21 and 28, diamond veil <white diamonds>> It was lit.
At the 50th anniversary, Diamond Vere was designed and started by lighting designer Mikiko Ishii with the feeling of "giving diamonds to a 50-year-old woman in light of its shape that can be parable to women."
The total number of lights shining outside from the frame is 276.
Depending on the pattern, each of the 17 levels of light is transformed into seven colors with masage for each color, but this time, a noble white glow with the message of "eternity" and "inheritance".
In the clear winter air, you can clearly see "Diamond Ver <White Diamond>" from the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki through the Tsukiji Market.
By the way, from the sunset of the day to 20:00, from 22:00 to the dawn of the next day, the standard "landmark light (winter version)" is lit.

Do you know a vehicle called Turret Truck?
It is very useful as a transport vehicle in Tsukiji Market.
![ao04675.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/26/ao04675.jpg)
I've seen it!
There is a shop where you can drink truly delicious coffee while sitting on this turret. The location is close to Tsukiji Honganji Temple.
![DSC_6956.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/26/DSC_6956.jpg)
Its name is Turret COFFEE <Turret Coffee> 。
![DSC_6968.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/2017/01/26/DSC_6968.jpg)
If you like coffee, you may already know! It's a famous shop for its "tasty book".
When you enter the shop, you'll find turret!
You can sit in the rear. I hear it's a good thing.
Of course, we also have regular seats.
And coffee.
Both hot and ice cream are amazingly delicious. Rich bitterness and weight of coffee, easy to drink and clear taste without turbidity. It doesn't make punch work, but it feels like wrapping it gently. Although it is a small shop, it is a space where you can calm down just away from the bustle of Tsukiji Market.
Mr. Kawasaki, the store manager, is particular about the deliciousness of handmade coffee and seems to have been trained for a long time in the Tokai region. The one who chose Tsukiji was "something." The point was that there were a lot of delicious things around me. The location and customer layer are thick and uninterrupted.
The sweets sold together are also available from handmade shops, and are moderately sweet and refreshing. It goes well with coffee and tastes good.
Menu The price is also good.

Finally, on the Sumida River Terrace near Aioi Bridge, where I introduced Iso brown-eared bulbul the other day! I found a male daurian redstart. Since I found daurian redstart female here near Aioi Bridge on November 3, last year, I have been looking forward to seeing no males.
Here's
daurian redstart female
Male daurian redstart
Joubitaki is a winter bird that comes to Japan for wintering from the breeding grounds of Mongolia and northeastern China. Outside of the breeding season, there is a strong sense of territory, so unlike waterbird ducks where male and female act together and small bird hakusekirei, each male and female act independently.
The male face is black, the head is silver, the chest is orange, the back is patterned like a cloak, and the wings are accented with white accents. If you look closely at the chic outfit in the distance, it is quite fashionable. Since you usually act alone, did you do your best in case of emergency? ?
It is difficult to observe and shoot small birds, but when I looked at them gently, they came nearby.
Take a walk on the Sumida River terrace where you can relax and see Mr. daurian redstart's stand in the calm winter sunshine.
