The season became better, and it was the best time for a walk.
In the morning, we took a walk along the red dashed line river’s edge on the map below with two dogs.
I walked counterclockwise from A to B, C ...
In the first half, we will introduce A to D.
Area A
At the base of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, the remnant of Tsukuda-no-Hari, which remains on the Minato side, is the site of the Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal.
Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is a bridge with a simple design that was built in 1964 instead of Tsukuda's ferry.
I remember hearing or reading that 1964 was a simple design in time for the last Tokyo Olympics, but it's a bit vague.
The high-rise apartments over Tsukuda Island seen from the sidewalk on the north side seem to see Tokyo and Edo together, and it is a favorite view.
Area B
Tsukuda Island was built in 1644 by a fisherman who entered Edo from Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni, reclaimed the mouth of the Sumida River.
It is said that the origin of Tsukudani was that fishermen on Tsukuda Island boiled small fish and shellfish with salt and soy sauce for their preservation food.
The remnants of "Tsukuda's ferry" are the ruins of Tsukuda Island ferryboat (Tsukuda side).
Next to this monument, there is also stone monument of Hideji Hojo, a playwright who loved Tsukuda Island.
"If it snows, Tsukuda is an old island of Edo."
Tsukuda Kobashi, a monument of Tsukuda Island
It spans the Tsukuda River tributary, and the vermilion balustrade is impressive.
Area C
It is the site of Ishikawajima Lighthouse
The beginning of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse was a nightlight built in 1866 by Ishikawajima Hitoshishoroba magistrate for ships sailing on the Sumida River by human feet.
The Ishikawajimajin Ashojo was made by that "Kihei" Heizo Hasegawa proposed to Sadanobu Matsudaira.
This area is the site of the former Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries, where ultra-high-rise apartments stand in the forest.
The water bus "Hotaluna" went up the Sumida River.
This is the design of Reiji Matsumoto.
Indeed, a spacecraft on the water
Area D
Chuo-ohashi Bridge is a diagonal bridge that was built over the Sumida River in 1994.
The walk in river’s edge feels good because of the wind.
By the way, the information on the history of this blog is based on the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", which was started on October 1 of this month.
