Finally, Yoshino cherry tree began to bloom. Shinkawa Park, one of the many famous cherry blossom spots in Chuo-ku, is a sightseeing spot where you can enjoy the vast water surface of the Sumida River, the Eitai Bridge, the Chuo-ohashi Bridge, and the tower apartments in the Tsukuda area.
This park is located on the embankment of the Sumida River, but this dike is a "seawall" that protects the city from storm surges and a wide "Super dike". The purpose of Super dike in rivers managed by Tokyo is to improve earthquake resistance and hydrophilicity. By the way, Super dike of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism ensures safety against floods that exceed expectations and improves earthquake resistance (some differences between cities and countries).
The common Sumida River embankments are often made of concrete and stand out, so Super dike is a space that is outstanding and easy to use. Isn't it one way to enjoy thinking about disaster prevention and community development while watching cherry blossoms?
