In Chuo-ku, the terrain is almost flat because many land was originally marshland or the sea.
However, when walking around the city, you may encounter a slope. The slope before and after the bridge is currently built is easy to understand, but there are slopes even where there is no bridge. It's strange.
In most cases, there was a river there in the past, and it was already reclaimed. The slope in the photo was the trace of Shinkawa. In addition, similar terrain changes can be found at places where Harumi-dori St. and Sanjumabori intersect (former Miharabashi), and at places where Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Hamacho River intersect (former Nakanohashi). You can taste. Using the Geographical Survey Institute's "Geographical Institute Map" makes it easy to create a cross-sectional view of the topography, which is useful for quantitatively visualizing these micro terrains. Do you not experience remnants of old river in various places in ward?
