Did you notice the gentle flow of the Nogawa River beneath us? We are standing before the Nogawa Suido Bridge. It is also known as the Nogawa Waterworks Bridge.
The Nogawa Waterworks Bridge provides passage over the Nogawa River. This bridge is located in Setagaya Ward in Tokyo. Specifically it spans the river between Kinuta 2-chome and Kinuta 3-chome.
仙川 merges with Nogawa River upstream from here. It merges on the left bank. We are at a point northeast and northwest from the Eda Kita and Eda Minami bus stops.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the scenery. From here you can see downstream. You can also look upstream. The view from the bridge’s center offers distinct downstream and upstream perspectives.
The Nogawa Waterworks Bridge has nearby bus stops. The closest bus stops are Tsubaki Naka. Other nearby bus stops are Setagaya Sogo. There is also Kendo Grand Mae. A further bus stop is Tenjin Mori Bridge. Finally there is Kinuta.
This area lacks train stations in close proximity.
Imagine workers constructing this bridge. They carefully laid each piece. The Nogawa Waterworks Bridge would ensure vital resources passed over the Nogawa.
Construction finished in April 2008. It replaced a shared bridge for water pipes and pedestrians. The old bridge lacked a roadway for vehicles. The current Nogawa Waterworks Bridge is pedestrian friendly.
The Nogawa River flows for 20.5 km. It starts in Kodaira City. It ends when it joins the Tamagawa River. It is the Tamagawa River’s largest tributary on its left bank.
I hope you enjoyed this view of the Nogawa River. I also hope you learned about the Nogawa Waterworks Bridge. Let’s continue our tour.
