Jukken Bridge Skytree Reflection 十間橋

A plain road bridge over the Kitajukken River where, on a still day, the full Tokyo Skytree is mirrored upside-down in the canal, Sumida photographers' favourite "sakasa Skytree" spot.

About

Twenty minutes' walk from Oshiage, past the crowds of Tokyo Skytree Town, the Kitajukken River runs straight toward the tower through a low-rise neighbourhood of workshops and houses. From the Jukken-bashi bridge the canal and its walls line up perfectly with the Skytree, so on windless mornings and evenings the tower appears reflected end to end in the water, the "sakasa Skytree". At night the tower's Iki or Miyabi illumination doubles in the canal, and photographers set up tripods along the railings. There is nothing else here, which is exactly the point: it is a residential spot, and the neighbourhood's coffee stands and old factories make the walk back toward Oshiage or Hikifune a nice detour.

Highlights

• Straight-on view of the full Tokyo Skytree mirrored in the Kitajukken River
• Night reflections of the Skytree's changing illumination
• Quiet residential canal-side setting with almost no tour groups
• Easy add-on to an Oshiage or Kyojima walk

Tips

• Wind ruins the reflection, aim for calm early mornings or evenings.
• Stand on the bridge's west side and look north-west along the canal for the classic framing.
• Be considerate on the narrow pavement; this is a working road with traffic.
• Walk 10 minutes north to Kyojima's old wooden houses or 8 minutes back to Oshiage Station.
