"Kachidokibashi" in Tsukiji has been posted many times on this blog, so I'm going to explain it now.
I don't think it's necessary, but it's one of the few existing movable bridges (bouncing bridges) in Japan and the best in the East.
However, due to a decrease in the number of ships sailing on the Sumida River and an increase in traffic volume, the number of ships sailing on the Sumida River has increased.
It's stopped.
Completed in 1940 (Showa 15), it was changed to "C-shaped" for 30 years until November 29, 1970 (Showa 45).
He opened and passed the ship.

(I don't know my memory.) When I was in elementary school, I took a car with my father in Kachidokibashi.
It's a story when I was trying to cross. The traffic light turns red in front of the bridge and the siren rings.
There was news that the bridge would jump. My father was a little shy and said, "Ah, for a while.
I have to wait for it." He said he had been open for 20 minutes.
Probably it took more than 30 minutes to pass through.

What I remember in "Kachidokibashi" is the last episode of the anime "Wizard Sally".
Sally and Cub had to go back to Oz, passing through the city by carriage
When you reach Kachidokibashi, the bridge opens. Make it a jumper
The carriage was an impressive scene of flying off into the night sky.

Another memory is "Kachidokibashi" in the manga "Here Kameari Park Mae Police Station in Katsushika-ku".
Open it! It's a transcript. Kachidokibashi, the main character, Kankichi Ryotsu, stopped opening and closing when he was a junior high school student.
To show the open figure of the transfer to a weak friend, sneak into the driver's room and bridge the bridge.
It's a crying story to open it.
In connection with "Kochigame", it was made into a movie starring Shingo Katori in August 2011.
The title is "Class the MOVIE Kachidokibashi in front of Kameari Park, Katsushika-ku!"
I did it. In the climax, the scene where Kachidokibashi jumps and opens is depicted in CG.
Open Kachidokibashi to avoid large-scale missiles running out, and again on the jumping platform.
It was about to do it.

In anime and movies, Kachidokibashi plays an active role as a jumping platform.
There is also one side that is easily destroyed like Tokyo Tower.
For example, in the movie Godzilla, Godzilla destroys Tokyo and returns to the sea.
Kachidokibashi was turned upside down.
In the special effects drama "Returned Ultraman", he was involved in the battle with monsters and destroyed.
It was done, and in the movie "Sinking Japan", it was twisted and collapsed in the Great East Japan Earthquake.
This unique shape of the bounce bridge has been loved and loved by many people.
I think it was a proof.
