【東京散歩】 隅田公園・吾妻橋 (31-Dec-2015) Sumida-Park , Azuma-bashi Br.
東京浅草、東京都内最古の寺院である浅草寺にお参りしたあと、御本堂東方にある二天門より退出し、東参道を隅田川に向かって歩きます。
広い通りをそのまま横断すれば、すぐに隅田川畔に出ますが、あえて南下し、昭和中期の猥雑さが匂う東武鉄道浅草駅の北口ガードをくぐり抜けて河畔に整備された隅田公園へ向かいます。
隅田公園は、隅田川花火大会の観覧場所として、また都内有数の桜の名所として知られます。
公園の南端に架かる吾妻橋のたもとには水上バスの発着場もあり、都民だけでなく、浅草を訪れた多くの観光客で賑わいます。
吾妻橋は突飛なデザインで話題を集めたビール会社の本社ビルや東京スカイツリーなど、新しい東京の風景を楽しむビュースポットとして大勢の観光客で賑わっています。

Asahi Beer Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asahi Beer Hall (a.k.a. Super Dry Hall, or Flamme d'Or) is one of the buildings of the Asahi Breweries headquarters located on the east bank of the Sumida River in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It was designed by French designer Philippe Starck and was completed in 1989. It is considered one of Tokyo's most recognizable modern structures.
The shape of the building is that of a beer glass, designed to complement the neighboring golden beer mug-shaped building housing the Asahi Breweries offices.
Tokyo Skytree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).
Led by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK, the tower project forms the centrepiece of a large commercial development equidistant from Tokyo Skytree and Oshiage train stations, 7 km (4.3 mi) north-east of Tokyo station. One of its main purposes is to relay television and radio broadcast signals; Tokyo's current facility, Tokyo Tower with a height of 333 m (1,093 ft), no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by many high-rise buildings. The project was completed on 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012.
Asakusa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, most famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals.
History
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa was the major entertainment district in Tokyo. The rokku or Sixth District was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Geography
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means low city, referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
Sightseeing and historic sites
With so many religious establishments, there are frequent matsuri (Shinto festivals) in Asakusa, as each temple or shrine hosts at least one matsuri a year, if not every season. The largest and most popular is the Sanja Matsuri in May, when roads are closed from dawn until late in the evening.
In a city where there are very few buildings older than 50 years because of the wartime bombing, Asakusa has a greater concentration of buildings from the 1950s and 1960s than most other areas in Tokyo do. There are traditional ryokan (guest-houses), homes, and small-scale apartment buildings throughout the district.
In keeping with a peculiarly Tokyo tradition, Asakusa hosts a major cluster of domestic kitchenware stores on Kappabashi-dori, which is visited by many Tokyoites for essential supplies.
Next to the Sensō-ji temple grounds is a small amusement park called Hanayashiki, which claims to be the oldest amusement park in Japan. The neighborhood theaters specialize in showing classic Japanese films, as many of the tourists are elderly Japanese.
Cruises down the Sumida River depart from a wharf only a five minute walk from the temple.
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest geisha district, and still has 45 actively working geisha.
Because of its colourful location, downtown credentials, and relaxed atmosphere by Tokyo standards, Asakusa is a popular accommodation choice for budget travelers.

The Sumida River (隅田川 Sumida-gawa) is a river that flows through Tokyo, Japan. It branches from the Arakawa River at Iwabuchi and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its tributaries include the Kanda and Shakujii rivers.
What is now known as the Sumida River was previously the path of the Ara-kawa. However, towards the end of the Meiji era work was carried out to divert the main flow of the Ara-kawa to prevent flooding.
It passes through the following wards of Tokyo:
Kita, Adachi, Arakawa, Sumida, Taito, Kōtō, Chūō
ART:
Sumida Gawa pottery was named after the Sumida River and was originally manufactured in the Asakusa district near Tokyo by potter Inoue Ryosai I and his son Inoue Ryosai II.
In the late 1890s, Ryosai I developed a style of applied figures on a surface with flowing glaze, based on Chinese glazes called flambe. Sumida pieces could be teapots, ash trays, or vases, and were made for export to the West. Inoue Ryosai III, grandson of Ryosai I, moved the manufacturing site to Yokohama in 1924, but the pieces continued to be identified as Sumida ware.
The pottery has been subject to various myths, such as being manufactured on the make-believe island of Poo, which was washed away by a typhoon, or being manufactured by Korean prisoners of war. Sandra Andacht wrote in 1987, Sumida gawa wares have found great popularity with collectors, dealers and investors.
The motifs conform to the general Western concepts of what Oriental designs are expected to depict; writhing dragons, Buddhist disciples, mythological and legendary beings and creatures. Thus these wares are sought after and prices (here in the States) are quite high, even for pieces in less than perfect condition.
AZUMA-BASHI BRIDGE
Azuma-bashi Bridge was originally built in 1774 at the site of a ferry landing called Takecho-no-watashi. Residents organized construction, charged a toll, and later named it Azumabashi. The structure today was rebuilt in 1931 and serves as a prominent spot on Sumidagawa River cruises.

【東京散歩】 蔵前橋 (31-Dec-2015) Kuramae-bashi Br.
東京都心を流れる隅田川に架かる蔵前橋（くらまえばし）です。
現在の台東区蔵前は、江戸時代に浅草御蔵という幕府の米蔵が建ち並んでいたことから地名となり、震災後、かつて「富士見の渡し」という渡船航路があった場所に橋を架けることとなり、接続する道路「蔵前通り」にちなみ蔵前橋と名付けられました。
橋の構造は、隅田川の流れる河川部が3径間連続上路式ソリッドリブ2ヒンジアーチと隅田川左岸に沿う道路を跨ぐ上路式コンクリート固定アーチの4径間で構成されていますが、固定アーチは隅田川堤防の外側に設置されおり、カルパートのような佇まいで目立ちません。
橋長173ｍ、幅員22ｍで、構造材の鋼体と高欄は籾殻をイメージした黄色に塗装されています。
橋を下から見上げると、厚みのないアーチを支えるためにソリッドリブが10条並び、それぞれを結合す支材の構成が見事です。
