I can see "Kachidokibashi" over the Sumida River. Completed in 1940, this bridge was a jumping bridge made entirely by Japanese engineers from the design, and was called the best movable bridge in the East when it was completed. Toden ran on the track of the tram, and it was opened and closed five times a day when the ship was operated, but the amount of ship operation decreased and the traffic on the road increased, and the last opening and closing in November 1970 (1970) It is still suspended.

If you think of a large ship once passed, you will want to see it again. It was designated as a national important cultural property in 2007 (2007).

Nearby the Tsukishima River, which connects the Sumida River and the Asashio Canal, flows, and at the entrance there is the Tsukishima River Suimon to protect the city from floods. Ships float on a small river with a total length of 530m, and goby fishing people can be seen on the riverbank. It's a path with a peaceful landscape.

Ruins of Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal-Sumida River Terrace

Tsukuda Island Ferry Terminal-Sumida River Terrace Let's go on a tour of "Tokyo Mannaka ippindo" 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ーTsukuda and Tsukishima editions

A ferry called "Tsukuda no Ferry" has been running for more than 300 years since the Edo period to travel back and forth between Tsukuda Island and Edo City on the opposite bank. In 1964 (1964), Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge was built, and "Tsukuda's ferry" ended its role.

Walking along the promenade along the Sumida River (Sumida River Terrace) offers views of the waterside and bridges. At the end of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, you can see Chuo-ohashi Bridge, which was built to head from Okawabata River City toward Tokyo Station. Designed by a French company and the design of the Japanese helmet is used for the main tower. When you walk, there is a place where the sky tree that can be seen in the distance can be completely entered the tower. This is a recommended photo spot.

Ishikawajima Lighthouse was a hexagonal two-layer lighthouse, a nightlight that informs ships entering from Edo Bay of the location of Edo Minato. Here, there is a vocational training center for innocences proposed by Heizo Hasegawa in the Edo period, Ishikawajimajin Ashojo, where students learn skills such as carpenters, plasterers, papermaking and sewing for the purpose of supporting independence for light criminals. I was Among them, oil squeezing was hard work, and I made the Ishikawajima Lighthouse with that benefit.

Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine

Let's go around the town on a tour of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine "Tokyo Mannaka ippindo" 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ーTsukuda and Tsukishima editions

It is a god of Tsukuda Island, which was separated from Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Tsukuda-mura, Nishinari-gun, Settsu-kuni. Ieyasu gave the privilege of "fishers on Tsukuda Island can catch fish anywhere in Japan." The fishermen said, "The benefits to Ieyasu are higher than the mountains of Fuji and deeper than the sea of Shibaura." The torii gate of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine is facing Edo Castle, which is west-west. In the space of the basin, there are relief sculptures that extend the old days of Tsukuda Island, and you can see the scenery of Tsukuda's ferry, sailing boat sailing, and Isobe. Tang lions are carved on the wooden nose with a lively appearance.

The flat is made of pottery, and the characters written by Prince Arisugawa Miyanobori are burned in bright blue.

Under the red Tsukuda Kobashi, the pillars and hugs of the large banner used at the festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine are buried at the bottom of the river to prevent corrosion.
