Visit Report: Nakano Bridge

About a 10-minute walk from Nakano-sakaue Station, Nakano Bridge spans the Kanda River.

Though it's a small, modest bridge, looking eastward you can see the Metropolitan Government Building beyond the Kanda River, making it a hidden gem for night views.

The contrast between the quiet residential neighborhood and the metropolitan skyline is fascinating, and when the Metropolitan Government Building has special illuminations, you'll often see passersby stopping to take photos.

The area around Nakano Bridge is also beautiful with cherry blossoms in spring, so viewing the Metropolitan Government Building while enjoying the night cherry blossoms during springtime could be quite lovely.
