On a steel framed bridge “Tennozu Fureai Bridge”, chill out with the sea breeze and a night view of Tennozu Isle area reflecting on the canal on

When the sun sets, we suggest you head to “Tennozu Fureai Bridge” (ふれあい橋), the pedestrian bridge connecting Tennozu Isle area and Konan Park. A very simple bridge with bare steel frames somehow makes you affinity to it maybe because of the calm night view and the lightings illuminating the bridge. The footlights of the bridge and the lights coming through windows of the surrounding buildings beautifully reflected on the surface of the canal make this bridge as a location for TV series and movies. On the other hand, The Shinagawa Campus of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology is located on the opposite bank, and it is recommended to stop by the “Marine Science Museum” on the premises if time allows
