I had the 4th and final day of my Kanda River Walk in 2022. The course was from Iidabashi to Yanagibashi, where Kanda River flows into Sumida River.
The JR Chuo Line meets Kanda River at Iidabashi. The river and railroad go eastward together.
Similar scene was found at Suidobashi. (See the 2nd photo)
I moved to the Ochanomizu district. There are university hospitals as well as other academic institutes in the area.
A construction work was under way in the river.
There remains a closed old station (old Mansei Station) at Mansei Bridge, which locate between Ochanomizu and Akihabara.
There are many electronics stores in the Akihabara area.
I had another 1km walk and arrived at Yanagibashi. Kanda River flows into Sumida River here.
There are many boats floating in the river. People enjoy cruising and dining with the boats. People also hire the boats for fishing.

It was 24km from Inokashira Park to Sumida River.
I found many changes since 2010, when I had a walk of the same course last time. The changes include: redevelopments of areas such as Shinjuku’s Yodobashi area, more local community activities including carp streamers displays, reconstruction of facilities in the riverside walks, flights of airplanes over central Tokyo area, which was not allowed 12 years ago, and many others.
It is interesting to see such changes.
