The ship on board is the Edo-go.

It is a small 10-seater storage vessel.

It doesn't seem to be much speed compared to other sightseeing boats, but the engine sound is quiet and small turns are good.

It is covered and prevents it if it rains a little.

If you go out to the Sumida River, you can enjoy shaking even with the waves caused by the opposite ship.

Passengers wore a life jacket wrapped around their waist.

Dobokles is a popular project and is a lottery with a high magnification every year to participate.

We avoided the "Kanda River" and "Tokyo Bay" courses where applicants will be concentrated, and applied for the "Onagi River", which runs straight east and west, is easy to win.

Oh, "Onagi River course" is not something that is plain.

In the middle of sailing, you can experience the Ogibashi Lock Gate, which is also called the "water elevator" and the "panama canal in Tokyo" from the boat, and the "Ogibashi Komon".

I had strolled along the river along the water, and if I had the opportunity, I wanted to look up at the bridge that crossed from the ship.

Guide map of the course distributed at the time of boarding.

Just holding it in hand, the satisfaction meter shook 100.

The current course map printed on cellophane paper is stacked on the pictorial map of the first year of Mannobu (1860).

You can see the transition of history at a glance.

I sympathized with the sense of the person in charge who created this guide map that it was wonderful.

I forgot to take a picture for a while, and looked at the map.

In recent years, a variety of historical maps have been published, edited by combining current maps with old maps from the Edo period.

When I read historical and historical novels set in the city of Edo, it was quite useful.

"Onagi River" is a 4.64km long river that runs almost straight from east to west from the Sumida River to the former Nakagawa.

Ieyasu Tokugawa, who entered Edo, ordered Onagi Shirobee to open it.

A lot of materials were transported during the process of the construction of the Edo town, and daily necessities such as salt and rice were sent from countries to support the swelling population.

The straight river was used as a safe and efficient transportation route compared to the sea.

This is a large-scale equipment that uses a gate to change the water level in order to pass through rivers with different water levels in the Koto Delta area.

Completed a large-scale earthquake-resistant construction in 2019, functioning as a powerful river guard to protect the city from natural disasters.

By the way, how much is the lock fee?

・・It's free of charge.

Not only ships, but also people pass by canoes and kayaks.

It seems that the number of people who use it for sightseeing and recreation is increasing.

A rare experience where you can feel the water level difference at the position in contact with the water surface is attractive.

Mr. Osuka, who is enrolled in the Environment Department of the Tokyo Head Office of Construction Technology Research Institute, Ltd., is mainly in charge of navigation.

There is a difference between the east and west of the lock.

The revetment on the east side, which is the former Nakagawa side, is low, there are promenade and vegetation areas, and it is more hydrophilic.

※　At the end of the cruise, "Old Nakagawa Watercolor Park Pier"

When I was a child, I lived along the Tohoku Main Line and knew the place name "Onagi River".

"Onagi River" was displayed on the backboard of Wam's Sabo (side board) of the Japanese National Railways freight vehicle with a roof.

A long freight train that resonates with ratagatan, ratagatan and ratagatan.

It was one of the games to count the number of dozens of cars connected.

At present, the site of the cargo terminal has been transformed into a large commercial facility.

The vivid image of rivers and water transport was overwritten in the place name "Onagi River" that I had.
