(passing 6:08 from departure)
It is Kachidokibashi, the second of nine bridges in the Sumida River Chuo-ku.
It's now under restoration. It's a bridge that is usually more impressive.
Kachidokibashi
(Tsukiji 6-chome to Kachidoki 1-chome)
ーThe best movable bridge in the East was built using technology.
In 1905, volunteers in Kyobashi Ward set up a ferryboat connecting Tsukiji and Tsukishima on the opposite bank.
The name "Kachidoki's handover" commemorates the fall of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War.
Later, as Tsukishima developed as an industrial area, traffic demand increased, and it was built by collecting cutting-edge technologies from the time.
The construction of Kachidokibashi was completed in 1940, with a total length of about 246m and a width of about 26m, and was called the best movable bridge in the East when completed.
Initially, it jumped five times a day, but its number gradually decreased due to a decrease in ship operation volume and is now closed.
At the Kachidokibashi Museum next to the Kachidoki Gate in Tsukiji Market, valuable materials and related information related to Kachidokibashi is exhibited and released on the Sumida River Bridge.
In addition, there is a tour of the pier (reservation required) where you can appreciate the machines for opening the bridge.
In addition, near the museum, there is a stone monument of "Kachidoki no Wadashi" built in 1905.
In June 2007, it was designated as a national important cultural property by the evaluation of "a highly technically completed building with the largest movable branch in Japan".

※ Futaba Jumping Bridge: A bridge where the bridge itself opens upward to allow a ship to pass, and it is divided into left and right from the center.
・・・ Last but not least, Kachidokibashi opened in 1970.
However, in the BOSS commercial of canned coffee, there was an image opened with CG.
In addition, this Kachidokibashi was explained in the free patrol bus volunteer guide at the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum" held on November 5.
From this year, this bridge will also be crossed.
Until last year, I only passed nearby.
And from here, you will be able to see the Sky Tree from above the bridge.
Next bridge, the direction of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

It can be seen on the left bank, 8-1 Akashicho.
The building on the left is the St. Luke's Residence, and the right is the St. Luke's St. Luke's Luke's Tower.
The place where it is built is called St. Luke Garden.
It seems that it is true to read everything [Sir?]
St. Luke's Garden is a complex consisting of a care residency department at St. Luke's International Hospital, hotels, sports clubs, and rental offices.
The tall building, St. Luke's Luke's Lux Tower, is 48 floors above ground and 4 below ground.
The 3rd to 46th floors are office floors.
There are weather cameras of Nippon Television and Fuji TV on the rooftop.
Previously, there was an observation room on the 47th floor, but it was closed in 2010.
And the lower building, St. Luke's Residence, on the left, is 38 floors above ground and 3 floors below ground.
From the first floor to the 31st floor, there is a care residence and a paid nursing home. There are 175 units.
The 32nd to 38th floors are hotel floors.
And on the way, the two buildings are connected, the contact bridge.
It seems that the general public can pass during the day.

It is Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, the third of nine bridges in Sumida River Chuo-ku.
You can also see the sky tree clearly.
Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge
(Tsukuda 1-chome, Tsukishima 1-chome to Minato 3-chome, Akashicho)
The bridge was built in the same year as the Tokyo Olympics.
This bridge was built in 1964 in place of Tsukuda's ferry, about 220m long and about 25m wide.
In the past, the Tsukuda River flowed between Tsukuda Island and Tsukishima, but it was reclaimed with the construction of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, and the two islands were connected to the ground.
During the construction, the Tsukuda Bridge over the Tsukuda River was removed.
With the completion of the bridge, the ferry, which had been running for more than 300 years since the Edo period, has disappeared.
A relief depicting the origin of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge and the scenery of Tsukuda Island is installed on the balustrade of the bridge.

In 1866, Shimizu Junki, a magistrate of the Ishikawajima People's Ashoshoba magistrate, broke the profit of the oil squeezing produced at the estuary of the Sumida River and off Shinagawa for a ship sailing off the coast of Shinagawa. And built a nightlight at the southern end of the place with human feet.
This was the beginning of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse, which was a two-layer hexagonal lighthouse.
When constructing Tsukuda Park, a lighthouse monument will be built in the park, and the front of the seawall is depicted by Hiroshige Utagawa near the 100 scenic views of Edo `` Tsukuda Shima Sumiyoshino Festival '', Fuji Thirty-six Views `` Toto Tsukuda Offshore '' and the ukiyo-e landscape of the Tokyo detailed drawing "Tsukudashima Tomeidaishitaboshi".

Eitai Bridge
(Shinkawa 1-chome - Saga, Koto-ku, Eiyo 1-chome)
- Heavy and robust steel arch bridge -
It is said that the first bridge was built in Genroku 11 (1698) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa, and was about 150 meters upstream from the current bridge position.
It was a large wooden bridge at the time, with a very good view, and was known as a cool place in summer.
In the fourth year of culture (1807), a crowd gathered at the Fukagawa Hachimangu Shrine festival and the bridge that could not withstand the weight of the bridge collapsed.
This accident led to the main contract, but after that, it was replaced several times due to spills and burns due to floods, and an iron bridge was built at the current location in 1897. Was.
It was Japan's first steel truss bridge as a road bridge, and a tram was laid in 1904.
However, since the bridge was also damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake, the bridge was replaced with a heavy and robust exterior bridge in 1926 as part of the reconstruction project.
In June 2007, it was designated as a national important cultural property by the evaluation of "Steel Arch Bridge that achieved the maximum branch by using new steel materials".

Eitai Bridge, as well as the starting sluice gate, was instructed to take a low posture for passengers on the deck.
There is not much difference between the bridge and the ship.
