According to the explanation in the above program, misidentification prevention is the purpose of ultra-long hood, preventing signals from entering the field of view at the same time. At the intersection of Kameshima Bridge Higashizume, the side road certainly crosses at sharp angles, so if there is no long hood, the traffic signal toward the side road will be seen from Yaesu Street (toward the Kameshima Bridge Higashizume side) It seems likely that the head will be confused. Date doesn't have a long food.

By the way, there is "Horibe Yasubei Takeyuki Monument" on the north side of Kameshima Bridge Nishizume. It was erected to commemorate that Takenori Horibe, one of the Akaho Namishi, who was known for his revenge of Takadanobababa, temporarily lived in Kyobashi Mizutanicho (currently Hatchobori 1-chome and 2-chome) (However, at the time when Yasubei Horibe lived, Mizutanicho, Kyobashi at the time, was at Mizutani Park in Ginza.

On the south side of Nishizume Kameshima Bridge, there is a stone monument in Matsuo Basho engraved with "Writing Yachimachibori", "Chrysanthemum Blossoms and Ishiya Stones" and "Basho 50 years old 1693 (1693)". There seems to be many stone shops in this area because there is a convenient waterway for transporting stone by boat.

In addition, on the north side of Kameshima Bridge Higashizume, there is an explanation board about the history of Kameshima Bridge and Shinkawa (I learned again).

Kameshima Bridge is also said to be the bridge that Akaho Nanji went on the way home from his revenge. The design may be plain, but each of the four Hashizume is unique.
