43景と同じ日本橋です。
手前が43景でも書いた魚市場です。
日本橋川にはたくさんの船が描かれています。
日本橋とその向こうが一石橋。
その向こうが江戸城で、さらにその先が富士山。
(でっかい富士山ですね!)
江戸時代の地図には日本橋のところに「此橋上ヨリ御城ならびに富士山見エテ絶景ナリ」と書いてあります。
さてその絶景ですが…。
Like View 43, this is also the picture of Nihonbashi.
In the foreground, you can see the fish market that I mentioned.
There are many boats on the Nihonbashi River.
You can see Nihonbashi-bridge, and Ichikoku-bridge in a distance.
Beyond that is Edo Castle. And beyond that is Mt. Fuji.(Wow! That's a big Fuji!)
In the old Edo map, they added a special note on Nihonbashi-bridge,
"the spectacular view of Castle and Mt. Fuji from this bridge."
Well, that spectacular view...
首都高と高いビルに阻まれています。
Well, you can only see the highway and tall buildings now.
でも今の橋のデザインもきれいだと思います。
But I think the bridge itself looks pretty even today.
船着場もありました。機会があったらここから船にも乗ってみたいです。
It seems you can ride a boat from here. If I have a chance, I would like to try that.
他にも橋銘が第15代将軍徳川慶喜筆だったり、日本国道路元標があったり。
ゆっくり歩いてみるとおもしろいですね。
Also, I learned that the engraved letter "Nihonbashi" was written by the last Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu. I saw the zero milestone of Japan, too.
It was fun walking around the area.
