Previously, near the Oshimakawa sluice gate where the Sumida River and tributaries intersect, the walking path along the Sumida River "Sumida River Terrace" was interrupted.
Therefore, when traveling back and forth on the Sumida River Terrace, I bypassed the city of Eidai, Koto-ku.

With the new bridge being built, the Sumida River Terrace is connected, making it possible to pass through the walking path along the river as it is.

The figure on the left shows the route before the Sumida River Terrace connecting bridge was built. In the past, we used to detour east and pass through the city.

The figure on the right shows the route after the Sumida River Terrace connecting bridge. You can go smoothly along the Sumida River.

Ships come and go under the connecting bridge and under the Oshimakawa sluice gate, so the middle of the bridge is high. Go up the uphill as shown in the picture.

You can see the upper part of the sluice gate on the right side.

This is a photo of the Oshimakawa Sluice Gate taken from the top of the Sumida River Terrace connecting bridge.
You can see the Oshimakawa sluice gate in the foreground, and you can see a light blue bridge (Ecchujima connecting bridge) behind it.
Before the completion of the Sumida River Terrace connecting bridge, I thought that I was detouring across the light blue bridge (Ecchujima connecting bridge) in the back.

The photo shows the view from the connecting bridge. On the left side is the Sumida River.
Go down the slope ahead.
