This time, I went jogging in search of the Nihonbashi River, an important river in Chuo-ku, and the headwater of the Kanda River.
Actually, it has been long since I left Chuo-ku, so I will report it compactly.
The start is Toyomi Bridge, where the Nihonbashi River collides with the Sumida River. It is a unique bridge that looks like a ladder is turned sideways.
It has the same thickness as the powerful Eitai Bridge nearby.
From there, there is no road along the river, so I decided to go along the road running parallel to the river as much as possible.
We will proceed with Minato Bridge, Kayaba Bridge, Armor Bridge, Edobashi, Nihonbashi ...
The former Joban Bridge was under construction. Chuo-ku is over at Shin Tokiwa Bridge.
The river so far is mostly under the highway, so it is an image of an urban river. (The photo shows the former Joban Bridge under construction)
Even in Chiyoda-ku, we will continue to be covered by expressways. I collide with the Kanda River at the Suidobashi. From there, it is the Kanda River. I'm going on with Iidabashi, Edogawabashi, Waseda, and Takadanobaba. The river goes as a city river with a hardened revetment. The promenade along the river is gradually getting ready. The river meanders and comes close to the skyscrapers in Shinjuku. This area is Nakano-ku.
When you go to Suginami-ku, the expression or atmosphere gradually changes. First of all, the greenery along the river increases. Fish and birds are also often seen. As you proceed along the Inokashira Line, you will see the goal. I feel tranquility. Yes, the goal is Inokashirakoen. There were lots of people on a sunny weekend.

I realized on my own feet that the water in the pond of Inokashirakoen spilled out and that part of the water came to Nihonbashi. It was about 25 km away.
Because it was a hot day, I gave up on the return trip and decided to return on a public vehicle from here. After sweating at the public bath in Kichijoji and refreshing, it became a comfortable house.
