Fireworks at Sumida

I want to roll a large ball in Sumida River Hatoba Park

Spring has come, isn't it?

Today is April 1st. I came to Hatoba Park, located near Kachidokibashi on the Sumida River. There are several cherry trees here, and when the flowers open, you can fully enjoy the atmosphere of spring.

This park is located on the embankment of the Sumida River. In the middle of the park, a large silver sphere is enshrined as a monument to welcome visitors.

 

In this way, looking at this sphere toward the skyscrapers on the other side of the river, it seemed as if a bowling ball was rolling toward the pin, and I had a very strange imagination.

I want to roll this ball. 。 。 。

 

This ball is quite large and has a diameter of about 2 meters. It's a good game with a sphere in Ryogoku Bridge. I'm afraid I don't know the weight.

I think it's hard if I can roll it over.


But today is April 1st. It's an apple, and it's okay to do a little bit of something?

So, as I imagined, I decided to roll it.

Where should I roll it?

I would like to cross Kachidokibashi and go to the opposite bank, but it is highly likely that the bridge will jump up and be returned, so I decided to roll down from the stairs as it is.

 

No, that's a bit boring.

It's fun to go a little around and roll the slope leading to the Sumida River Terrace. How fast will it be? 。 Maybe it's going to roll up the Sumida River Terrace upstream.

It's easy because it just rolls.♪

If you think, 3 pins stand up.

With this much, I wonder if I can beat it down by the weight of the ball?

I managed to defeat all three of them and rolled.

 

By the way, the Sumida River Terrace cannot be used by bicycle. It seems to be a car stop for that purpose, but the distance between pins is about 1.5m, so wheelchairs and strollers can pass through.

 

If you're on the Sumida River terrace, you'll find it easy. Because it is a cobblestone road, it has a slight rattling feeling, but only rolling the almost flat promenade with inertia.

Flowers are not just cherry blossoms. On the way, a flower bed coloring the terrace appears and welcomes people walking along the riverbank. Thank you to Mr. Hanamori.

 

1 km from the mouth of the river. Today's bird seems to be paired. The cherry blossom petals are also scattered and enjoy the spring. You look happy.

When I rolled with a side look, I soon reached the bottom of St. Luke's Tower. Cherry blossoms are also blooming on this dike. It's still about eight minutes.

Above dike is a park called Akashicho Riverside Park, which is lined with cherry trees. I want to go up and see the cherry blossoms!

That's why it's hard to roll, but I'll use the slope to go up.

I finally arrived at this view. No. The scenery of the Sumida River from here is really good.

That's why I'm tired of rolling, so today's delusion of rolling ball will end with this.

 

As introduced in the rolling of the ball, the Sumida River has slopes that connect to the terrace in various places. Various people, such as strollers, wheelchairs, and those who have difficulty going up and down stairs, can enjoy the Sumida River.

If you walk ahead, there is also a slope in the park in Minato, Chuo-ku. Of course, there are several other places on the other side. Now it's the cherry blossom season, so it's recommended to enjoy the spring flowers, but it's also a fresh green season, and it's a very pleasant season to walk along the riverbank.

I hope you can use the slope to enjoy the changing season on the Sumida River Terrace.
