Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Fureai Bridge across the Kyu Nakagawa

March 2012 (35.701 Degrees, 139.841 Degrees) Fureai Bridge

Just north of the Shin Nakagawa Bashi is this pretty basket handle pedestrian arch bridge. Just a few cables support the deck and there's a widened section in the center so people can stand at the railing and contemplate the river flowing past. The bridge deck is beautifully tiled and the whole bridge was obviously designed to give pedestrians a pleasant experience.

I wish the photo was a little sharper, but by this time my lens was getting covered by drops of water that I wasn't always able to wipe off without shirking my paddling duties.
