A River by Any Other Name
In the middle section of the length of the river, there is a 2.1 km section from the area near Toden Arakawa Line Waseda Station to near Iidabashi Station which was formerly called Edo River. The name of this section was changed to Kanda River in August 1970, consistent with the name of the rest of the river. Most other nearby place names nearby deriving from "Edogawa" had disappeared by 1966, but some remain, including Edogawabashi Station, the bridge after which the station was named, and Edogawa Park in Bunkyo, Tokyo. Additionally, until the late Meiji period, the banks of the river between Ishikiri bridge and Ryūkei bridge were considered to be one of the best cherry blossom sites in Tokyo.
The cache is hidden in small park on the banks of the river. BYOP. There is no pen in the cache.
別称
神田川の中流域の中でも今日の都電荒川線早稲田停留場付近から飯田橋駅付近まで、東京都内の約2.1キロメートルの区間は「江戸川」と呼ばれていた。この部分も1970年8月に「神田川」に名称が統一されることとなったため、これに由来する地名の多くは1966年までにその名を消したが、江戸川橋駅及びその由来である橋梁、文京区立江戸川公園などにその名をとどめている。なお、明治末頃まで、石切橋から隆慶橋間の両岸は、東京市内屈指の桜の名所と言われた。
キャッシュが川のそばにある公園に隠されています。 BYOP. キャッシュにペンが入っていません。
