Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Confluence of Kita Jikkengawa and Yoko Jikkengawa

(35.708 Degrees, 139.819 Degrees) Confluence of the Kita and Yoko Canals

We have arrived at the confluence of the Kita Jikkengawa and the Yoko Jikkengawa. The Kita Jikkengawa continues to the west until it meets the Sumidagawa. The Yoko Jikkengawa goes due south to the Onagigawa. In this photo the canal has switched back to soldier piles. Perhaps they were able to replace them with stone retaining walls before the Sky Tree opened in May.

The Jikken Bashi is the haunched single span steel girder bridge on the right (across the Kita Jikkengawa) and the Yanagishima Bashi is the three span bridge on the left (across the Yoko Jikkengawa). In tomorrow's blog, we are going to turn to the south and away from the Sky Tree.
