What you can enjoy when you enjoy waterside walks and cycling?
Hello. The active activity is Hanes on holidays.
The other day, on some occasion, I sometimes read an old book about the sluice gates in Chuo-ku, and at that time I saw an interesting description.
That is, there are several sluice gates in Chuo-ku that are reminiscent of gyrotin and multiple Kannon open type that considers safety, and only one of them is Kannon open type.
I was still wondering if the type of the sluice gate is exactly the same, so actually ride a bicycle and go around the sluice gate!
The first place we headed for was Nihonbashi Suimon (completed in 1971).
In the event of the largest earthquake, the gate may not be closed due to damage or deformation of the sluice gate, so it is in the middle of seismic work.
At the same time, renovation is inevitable due to the aging of the management building, and we are currently working on the foundation of the building in preparation for it.
Although it is difficult to understand in the photo above, as described on the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction, this sluice gate used a steel single-leaf roller gate, that is, an up-and-down type.
Next, go to the Kamejima River Sluice Gate (completed in 1968).
As you can see, you can see this!
The model shown on the signboard and the page of the Kamejima River Sluice Gate of the station also mentions a steel single-leaf roller gate.
Next is Tsukuda Suimon (completed in 1963)!
As you can see, this is a single-leaf roller gate made of steel. Click here for more information.
Then, when it comes to Sumiyoshi Suimon (completed in 1965), this was also a steel single-leaf roller gate. Click here for more information.
There is a difference between one and two, but I will hurry to the next sluice with a little more familiar with the sluice gate and want to look around again.
Tsukishima River Suimon (completed in 1964) is a single-leaf roller gate made of steel. Click here for more information.
Similarly, Hamamae Suimon, which faces the Sumida River (completed in 1964), is a single-leaf roller gate. Click here for more information.
I can only meet rollergate so far.
Will other types be found in Chuo-ku?
The morning tide sluice gate (completed in 1964) visited with such anxiety.
This is a swing gate! Click here for more information.
Completion was completed in the latter half of the Showa 30s, the same as Tsukuda Suimon and Hamamae Suimon, but it is interesting to have a different type.
At the end of the tour of the sluice gates that began with momentum, go to the Tsukiji River sluice gate (completed in 1969).
This is a form in which the door swings at the end of the single gate, as described in the introduction page of the sluice gate and drainage pumping station in the Tsukiji area of the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau and the mechanism of the sluice gate, that is, a swing gate. Was.
To summarize the above briefly, there are currently seven sluice gates in Chuo-ku: Nihonbashi Suimon, Kamejima River Suimon, Tsukuda Suimon, Sumiyoshi Suimon, Tsukishima River Suimon, Hamamae Suimon, Tsukiji River Suimon, and Tsukiji River Suimon. The breakdown by type is 5 roller gates and 2 swing gates.
The current situation was different from the book I referred to, but I was able to learn a little about the type of sluice gate that I do not usually consciously see.
If you go one step further and look around the sluice gates, such as when and why these sluice gates were installed, you may see the new "face" of Chuo-ku again.♪
