Kyobashi is a bridge with a history that is said to have been built for the first time almost at the same time as Nihonbashi, which was founded in Keicho 8 (1603).

It was removed during the reclamation of the Kyobashi River from 1948 to 1940, but two stone pillars and one stone and concrete main pillar are left to keep the remnants. I am.

Of these, the two stone pillars were replaced by a stone arch bridge in 1875.

It is shaped like a giboshi that inherits the tradition of the Edo period, and the names of "Kyobashi" and "Kiyahashi" are engraved by the poet Sasaki Shoin.

In addition, the main pillars of stone and concrete (*) were replaced by an Art Deco-style bridge during the expansion work in 1922.

It has a modern design equipped with lighting equipment, and is attached to the bridge name "Kyobashi" and "Kiyohashi" and a copper plate plate of "November 1922".

There were about 500,000 visitors at the London Parade and about 800,000 at the Rio Parade.

At the Tokyo Olympics, which took place two years ago, if normal, a medalist parade would have been held here in Chuo-dori.

You must have recorded more than one million viewers. How was 2 million people?

Unfortunately, due to the influence of COVID-19, we couldn't even make a plan.

In addition, Rosmari was not yet a correspondent of the Tourism Association at the London Olympics medalist parade, but was planning to view it.

I couldn't take a work vacation, but I thought I could watch it during lunch break.

However, the time was not right, and I could only see the parade preparation stage.

During the Rio Parade, along with the correspondent synchronization, I was able to set up a cafe at the base of Nihonbashi during lunch break and interviewed firmly.

Here's the article at that time.
