Hey, Doctor. Where is this?

There was Tsukiji Market here. You can see the roof of "Nami Yokejinja" behind.

That's true. You're maintaining it with a power shovel.

Ph.D. Where is this?

This is the construction site (Kojigenba) of the Tsukiji Toranomon tunnel. When this tunnel is created, the tunnel from Harumi and Kachidoki districts to Toranomon will be cut off.

Hey. It's very convenient.

Hey, Dr. This is a big construction machine, isn't it?

This construction machine is called a crawler crane. With a crane with caterpillars, you can lift and move large and heavy things.

Ph.D. This is a pretty construction machine, isn't it? It looks like a vehicle in an amusement park.

This is a high-altitude work vehicle. People ride on a work platform called a bucket and do various tasks. It is used not only for civil engineering (doboku) work, but also for cleaning airplanes and TV broadcast of outdoor concerts.

Ph.D. Where is this?

This is Tsukiji Outer Market. This small truck is turret. There's a motor or engine on a nice place under the handle.

Hmm. I've seen Tale's march on TV.

Wow! Ph.D. This is a forklift.

That's right. This forklift is a compact body and can work easily in narrow alleys (roji).

Oh, Tsukiji, something like a working car showroom.

 

Hello, this is the new correspondent "Take-chan". Thank you very much for your continued support. This time, I wrote it for kids. The COVID-19 pandemic continues, but the Tsukiji Toranomon Tunnel construction site tour is crowded and slowly appreciate construction machinery (?) You can do it. It's a great walking course for kids who like doboku.
