■ 🇯🇵 Discovering Japan’s Scenic Beauty
Simplicity can be both beautiful and functional—Tokyo’s Chuo-Ohashi Bridge is a prime example.
🌉 Chuo-Ohashi Bridge spans 210.7m with a width of 25.0m, crossing the Sumida River.
🔹 Opened in January 1994, it features a two-span continuous cable-stayed steel structure, offering an elegant yet enduring design.
🌃 At night, the bridge is illuminated with white mercury lamps and warm cocktail lighting, creating a mesmerizing view.
🇫🇷 Designed by a French firm, it blends the charm of the Seine River with Tokyo’s riverside landscape.
🚢 A must-see from the Sumida River cruise, where Tokyo Skytree is visible in the background (center of the video).
🌸 To the east lies Tsukudajima, famous for cherry blossoms. Many enjoy walking and jogging under the bridge.
🏯 The area holds historical significance, reflecting Tokugawa Ieyasu’s vision of Edo as a “city of water.”
