Night view of “Ariake Kitabashi Bridge” between Toyosu and Ariake like a jewel box showing various expressions depending on the viewing direction and the strength of the wind
“Ariake Kitabashi Bridge” is a road bridge with a total length of more than 246m that connects 6-chome Toyosu and 1-chome Ariake across the canal. There are sidewalks on both sides of the bridge, so you can enjoy the night view while walking between Toyosu and Ariake. On the east side, there is a modern night view centered on high-rise condominiums in Toyosu. On the west side, centering on the Rainbow Bridge, the city lights along the coast of Minato Ward are shining and spreading out like a jewel box. The light that colors the night sky is reflected on the surface of the canal, and it changes into various shapes due to the occasional wind, which makes you feel as if you are looking at the special art created by nature.
