The Sumida River in Minato, Akashicho and Tsukiji used to be called Teppuzu. It was originally a landfill that was built in the early Edo period, and it is said that the name was derived from the shape of a gun (matchlock musket) or that the gun of the Shogunate tried it here.

The nickname of "Tepposhu-dori" tells its history to the present.

Teppozu Inari Shrine, enshrined at Minato 1-chome, is the sea guardian angel. Minato Kawai has prospered as a gateway to the sea called Edo Minato since the Edo period. All supplies such as rice, miso, soy sauce, oil and charcoal gathered here by Bensai ship from various countries.

The times have changed, and in the scenery of buildings, it is around Minami Takahashi that you can still feel the remnants of Minatomachi. There is a dock and the light swims on the river surface is somewhere relaxing.

Right next to the Kamejima River sluice gate, there is a triangular water level station. From autumn to early spring, we often see Yurikamome playing hinatabo on a triangle. Meiji period, the place where there was a water marker and a water marker. The average tide level, which is the standard of altitude, was measured.

I love Minato! Minato kid walks well today!
