Photography of Tokyo Skytree and yellow bridge at "Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou"

Hello! I'm Izumi, a photo spot explorer.

This time, I went to a photo spot where we can take photography of Tokyo Skytree and a yellow bridge.
This photo spot is "Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou" in Katsushika-ku Tokyo.

In this article, I will introduce the location of this spot and how to enjoy it.

8 minutes walk from "Yotsugi Station" on the Keisei Oshiage Line

"Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou" is located about 8 minutes on foot from "Yotsugi Station" on the Keisei Oshiage Line.
Yotsugi Station is the hometown of "Captain Tsubasa" and the interior was covered in special decoration.

There is a ball sunk into the convenience store in front of the station.

Photo spot "Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou"

"Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou" is a bridge over the Ayase River flowing along the Arakawa River.
Go out from Yotsugi Station to the Arakawa embankment, walk while looking Skytree to the right and you will arrive at a yellow bridge.

"Hinankyou" means shelter bridge, but you can pass it normally. Cars can't pass because it is on the stairs, but people and cyclists were passing through.

The Metropolitan Expressway passes over the bridge.

How to shoot! A bit difficult to take center

This photo was taken from the point across the bridge from the Arakawa side.

There is a line that looks like a concrete break at the center of the bridge.
However, if you shoot from the center of the bridge, Skytree will be slightly off center.

I recommend that you shoot from a slightly left position so that Skytree is in the middle of the bridge!

In this photo, the yellow of the bridge and the orange of the sunset are nice and I like it. I recommend you visit in the evening with a little cloud!

Arakawa embankment is the best place to see Skytree

You can see Skytree very well from the bank of Arakawa.
There are no obstructions in between and there are no prominent buildings on the side, so it is perfect for shooting Skytree!

From the side of the bridge, I took a photo of the bridge and Skytree together.
The yellow arch of the bridge was cute and I could take a nice shot.

This is off topic, but I saw a bridge with beautiful triangular cables from this bridge.
I was interested in the structure of the bridge, so I checked.
According to my research, this structure is called Cable-stayed bridge.

When I look around to take a picture, I find a lot of discoveries and it's interesting.

Summary

This article introduced the spot "Higashi Yotsugi Hinankyou".
There you can take a collaboration photo of Tokyo Skytree and the yellow bridge.

While I was shooting, there were several photographers.
I think here is not a major spot but popular for those in the know.
I recommend this spot for Skytree shoot.
