"Shin-ohashi Bridge" is a diagonal bridge that spans the Sumida River, connecting Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Chuo-ku and Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku.
Completed in March 1977.
The bridge pillar in the center of the bridge is fitted with a picture of Hiroshige Ando's 100 famous Edo scenic spots "Ohashi Atake no Yudate" and a relief of the old bridge built in 1912.
The appearance of Shin-ohashi Bridge, which has changed over the times, is depicted there.
There are two large and small monuments on the north side of Nishizume Bridge.
The huge stone monument is the "evacuation monument" of the Great Kanto Earthquake.
The small stone monument on the left is the monument of "Hitosuke Bridge".
Shin-ohashi Bridge was once called "Hitosuke Bridge" and was popular.
During the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred on September 1, 1923, many bridges over the Sumida River were burned down by fire.
Among them, Shin-ohashi Bridge prevented fires, saved many lives, and served as evacuation route.
It is the time of the old bridge built in 1912.
People who evacuated to avoid fire, carried their luggage, flooded the bridge in search of escape routes.
Even if it is an iron bridge, if the fire moves on the luggage, the burning flame runs on Hashigami at once.
The police officer in charge of the guidance said he had stretched his body and dumped his luggage to prevent the spread of fire and secure the evacuation route.
The little stone monument was erected in honor of its brave action.
It is quite difficult, such as the actions of police officers who have fulfilled their duties remain as inscriptions.
In the shadow of this police officer, there would have been many people who died in guidance, rescue, fire extinguishing, etc.
I think that police officers who properly handled the crowd at their discretion are engraved on the monument as representatives of those who fulfilled their mission and supported each other, although their names do not remain.
There are many people who are facing difficulties during the Great East Japan Earthquake.
I strongly believe, "Go for it!"

A tour of spring cultural properties hosted by the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan "Treasure House of Modern Bridges-Chuo-ku"Inquiry the Bridge" was held on March 26 (Saturday). In particular, this time it was an opportunity to reconsider the reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
About 20 participants gathered at the Local Tenmonkan at 9:30 am, received a pre-lecture from Professor Takashi Ito (Department of Social and Traffic Engineering, Faculty of Science and Technology, Nihon University) and walked to Kachidokibashi. It is one of the bridges designated as important cultural properties, and the topic of what will happen to opening and closing. Take a bus to Uneme Bridge. It used to be the Tsukiji River, an arch bridge that now spans the highway. Following the site of Sanjukenbori from Miharabashi, this area was reclaimed with post-war rubble. After passing the Shimbashi ruins, finish the morning course.
 In the afternoon, take a bus to Shin-Tokiwa Bridge. Walk along the Nihonbashi River, including Joban Bridge, Tokiwa Bridge, and Ichiishi Bridge, and arrive at Nihonbashi. The event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the bridge seems to be self-restraint in Great East Japan Earthquake this time. Proceeding on Showa-dori, this road was newly established in the Great Kanto Earthquake Reconstruction Project. Eventually, from Asakusabashi to Yanagibashi. Including this bridge modeled on the Eitai Bridge, there is a bridge for reconstruction projects downstream from Ryogoku Bridge over the Sumida River. Mannen BridgeKoto-kuYou can see Kiyosu Bridge from the side. Take the tour of Toyomi Bridge and Eitai Bridge (photo: the first bridge of the Sumida River, which was built during the earthquake reconstruction project and was said to be the gate of the Imperial Capital at the time), and head to Minami Takahashi, the final destination. It is interesting to see a reuse bridge that uses a part of the former Ryogoku Bridge built more than 100 years ago. It's sunny this day, but the chilly wind is strong. The buds of cherry blossoms are waiting for a warm spring. After 4:00 pm, I returned to the local Tenmonkan and finished the day's journey.
Reconstruction projects after the Great Kanto Earthquake in September 1923 (1923) invested a large amount of capital and continued for about seven years until 1930 (1930). Even in Chuo-ku, some of the bridges constructed in this project still play a good role as active duty, and I am impressed that it is registered as a cultural property as a modern bridge. Roads opened in the reconstruction project are utilized in today's urban functions. People at that time must overcome the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid and the devastated hardships, and remember that the current town is established.
In the cities affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan will work together to recover from restoration. It may be a long way, but I hope that urban planning that is resistant to disaster prevention will be promoted and that better urban reconstruction will be possible than ever before. Let's do our best in Tohoku!

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the March 11 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake and the community.
Japan's largest M9.0, a huge tsunami, caused an unprecedented earthquake. There is a need for relief and assistance for all citizens, as well as support for recovery and reconstruction.
A natural disaster that comes when you forget it. Is there anything that can be learned from its historical records in Japan on the earthquake archipelago? I would like to look back again.
156 years ago, there was a major earthquake that hit Edo during the Ansei period. It is said that the Ansei Edo Earthquake that occurred around 10:00 pm on October 2, 1855 (1855), killed more than 10,000 people, including townspeople and samurai. It is estimated to be M6.9, and epicenter was said to be near the mouth of Arakawa and near Kashiwa and Abiko, just below Edo.
The town magistrate's office responded quickly. According to the Ansei major earthquake Experimental Talk, written by Osahiro Sakuma, Minamicho magistrate's office, Hatchobori, public measures were discussed and immediately resolved at the town magistrate's office that night.
The main thing is "cooked and distributed hand-held rice." Build a salvation hut for those who have no lodgings. Salvation and treatment of injured people. Order wholesalers to secure daily necessities. I'm afraid I'm not going to buy it. It is forbidden to rise in prices and labor costs. In the "three methods" of rescue, such as "salvation hut", "cooking to field residents, distributing hand-held rice", and "salvation rice" are defined as "three methods" for rescue and concentric town tours, rescue, crackdowns".
"Salvation hut" is now called evacuation site. Five locations were set up outside Kobashi Gate, Fukagawa, Asakusa, Ueno, etc. According to the previous book, "The structure is to assemble logs into gassho and the roof is topped. The entrance lowers the mat. Inside, pine boards are arranged on oak logs and tatami mats are laid. These items are always available by the contractor. There is a mechanism that can be done in half a day for a temporary hut of about 1,000 tsubo." It is said that "cooking" was also held at five places, including Mukoyanagihara and Ushigome, wrapped in paper with nigiri rice, dried plums, and 2 pieces of Sawaan, and distributed a total of 200,000 meals. Since 1792 (1792), "Saving Rice" is a general rescue method provided in the event of a fire, and the number of recipients has reached 380,000.
There was also an "enforcement" as a relief activity. Relief was provided by "salvation hut enforcement" that delivers money, food, hairdressing, etc., "residence enforcement" that enforces rice and money to victims' townspeople, and "enforcement of samurai and temples" that takes place in front of the gate. .
"Fujiokaya Diary" contains an earthquake experience report.
"There was a sound of mud and thunder, and the househouse swayed as if a ragged. The sound of the crumbling of the treasures of the storehouse, fence, samurai, and townhouses seemed to have fallen overhead, and those who came and went did not move while squatting." "After shaking, fire broke out from all directions, "The storehouse was severely damaged and collapsed in an instant." "Earthquake night in a large snow cave (hot night) There was no big shake on the following three days, but I was surprised by rumors that there was a tremor Shiga."
 After the earthquake, many disaster-related editions and multicolored catfish paintings (photos) were published. According to Nai no Hinami (= Nai is an old word of the earthquake), two days after the outbreak, "Earthquake Fire Direction" was sold, and more detailed information continued to increase thereafter. It seems that there were many things that were "misari", that is, stagnant. The catfish picture says, `` Kashima God went to Izumo in October of the lunar calendar when the gods gathered at Izumo Taisha Shrine in Kannazuki, so it was impossible to hold down key stones, so catfish trapped in the ground It is said to be based on the folk religion that began to move and an earthquake occurred.

"The only railway crossing traffic light left in Ginza"! In such a place? ？ ？
The location is Ginza 8-chome 21-1, and remains in the alley that enters the Ginza Post Office.
Please read the explanation of the railroad crossing in front of Hamarikyu.
Please refer to the following URL.
There was a railway line in the Tsukiji market, and I saw trains entering the market many times.
Japan's fishing industry was also thriving at this time, and it was landed at Tsukiji Market with tuna caught in the pelagic fishery.
The lean wasps were sent to the Kanto region, and the white-colored yellowfin tuna was sent to the Kansai market by train.
The number of the frozen wagon was assigned to Lem XXXXX.
The nostalgic Showa remnants remain.
Please drop in when you go to Hamarikyu Onshi Garden or Shimbashi Enbujo.
