I feel like U.K. Recommendation of the Asashio Canal


Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
Recently, I have been cycling in the Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi areas and the Toyosu area of Koto-ku next door, as it has gradually become autumn.
When you introduce yourself, say "one of your hobbies is cycling" or "sometimes you run more than 150 km a day", and it is often said that "it is active regardless of appearance" is one of the reasons why you became an active correspondent .

By the way, the other day, I introduced a secret night view spot at THE TOKYO TOWERS, but since then the scenery around the Asashio Canal and Harumi Canal has become my boom.
For a while, I didn't know why I could get so obsessed, but the other day I finally understood.
It's a bit similar to the scenery along the canal of U.K. (My favorite country)!

So this time, I would like to introduce the area around the Asashio Canal.♪

Asashio Canal Water Park

The first thing I would like to introduce is the Asashio Canal Water Park, which opened at the end of 2013.
It features a view space overlooking the canal and an eco-friendly space that takes into account ecosystems.♪
This is the first time I used this Shinsui-Koen Park because I often use a street or bridge where bicycles can pass!
The park has a very calm atmosphere with no users as Sumida River Terrace.

And when I look at the Asashio Canal, I sometimes see something jumping on the surface of the water.
Although it has not been photographed yet due to a momentary event, when I searched on the Internet for the first time, it seems that goby is often inhabited around here.
Therefore, its identity may be a goby.

And the modern buildings along this canal (Tokyo Metropolitan Harumi Sogo High School, Tokyo Metropolitan University of Tokyo Law School) and the scenery of the boat feel somewhat British.

Comparison with the British Canal

Try comparing it with the two photos below.
The height, density, and canal width are different, but is it somewhat similar to the scenery taken along the canal in U.K.?

Looking at such a landscape, you can reconfirm that one of the attractions of Chuo-ku is that you can enjoy the culture of various countries while staying in the city.
(Personally, I think other attractions are that you can enjoy a wide range of eras, from the history before the birth of mankind to cutting-edge technology, and that despite the city center, the waterside environment and nature are rich.)

It's a little far from Ginza and Nihonbashi, but be sure to stop by when you visit Harumi for concerts or Tsukishima for sightseeing.♪
