A Walk around Monzen Nakacho (Part 3) / 門前仲町の散歩 (パート3)

Walking away from Monzen Nakacho, we head for the Eitai Bridge, which is considered one of Japan's national treasures.

散歩しながら門前仲町から離れると、段々と永代橋に近づいく。日本国重要文化財に指定されてます。

You can just make out another bridge in the distance.



また別の橋も見える。





Chuo Ohashi / 中央大橋


Okay, I admit it - I'm a bridge freak as well.

僕が橋オタクがばれたか?


We also spotted a zeppelin!


ゼペリンを発見!








Toyomi Bridge / 豊海橋 (とよみばし)



This history of Toyomi Bridge, sorry but I do not have the energy or skill to translate the sign.









From the Eitai Bridge, we continued walking until we reached the neighborhood of Suitengumae, which features Suitengu Shrine, but I will write about that another time.

永代橋から歩きつづいて、水天宮前までたどり着いた。でも水天宮はまた別に紹介します。
