Senbonmatsu Ferry Landing |
|
|
| At Senbonmatsu Ferry Landing, a ferry operates between Minami-Okajima
1-chome, Taisho-ku and Minami-Tsumori 2-chome, Nishinari-ku. During
the Edo Period, this area saw heavy traffic consisting of foreign
cargo ships moving in and out of the harbor. The shogunate sought
to introduce maritime safety innovations and also built an embankment
using enormous rocks in hopes of using it as a breakwater. The name
"Senbonmatsu" can be traced to a row of pine trees that
were planted above this embankment. |
