Toyomi-cho is located on the seaside at the western end of the Tsukishima area. It is famous that the town name of Toyomi-cho was selected by the residents' town name questionnaire.

I was traveling west along Kiyosumi-dori across Kachidoki Station.

Looking at the map, thinking that you should not enter Toyomi-cho soon, I found a mysterious gate in front of me! You have to cross the gate to enter Toyomi-cho ...

The identity of the mysterious gate was the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau land storm surge door. You've often seen a sign at the canal's sluice gate saying "Protect Tokyo people from storm surge and tsunami." In the case of Toyomi-cho, this storm surge door was installed on land. However, the fact that there is a storm surge door at this position can prevent storm surge inundation in the Kachidoki area, but storm surges are flooded on the Toyomicho side.

This is because Toyomi-cho was originally created as a Tsukishima fishing base, and then became an area with a port-like function and fish refrigerated warehouses, and there is a historical background that some high-rise houses and sports parks have been built now. Isn't it?

In any case, I hope that the days when the Tokyo Port and Harbor Bureau land storm surge door will not be operational will continue. By the way, this land storm surge door is said to be seven places in Chuo-ku.

If you go further west along Kiyosumi-dori, you will find a mysterious gas station! The gas station was open without the name of a gasoline sales company that I often see. When you go to some remote islands, it is a landscape that sometimes happens.

Isn't this also tell the historical background of the establishment of Toyomi-cho?

There is no station in Toyomi-cho, but there is a bus stop for the Tokyo bus "Toyomi Fisheries Wharf".

There are Tokyo Station and Kameido bounds, and transportation is good. The nearby railway station will be Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line.

And we arrived at Tsukishima Wharf. Kaitakamaru of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology was berthed at the pier.

You can see the Rainbow Bridge behind it.

And there are refrigerated warehouses on the pier.

There is a harbor fire station in the Harumi district on the opposite bank.

I'm sparse with ships, but I can see some fire boats.

Now, you can also see the quiet Tokyo Olympic athlete village in the Harumi area on the opposite bank.

And along the Asashio Canal, there is also a promenade where you can walk around the city comfortably.

I couldn't introduce it this time, but there are also shops along the canal that serve delicious tuna bowls.

Toyomi-cho visited for the first time this time, but it was a cool city with a unique personality.

Next time, I'll definitely go to eat tuna bowl!
