Arakawa Evening Scenery at the Itabashi Iwabuchi Sluice Gate

Located in Tokyo's Kita Ward, the Iwabuchi Sluice Gate is a historic structure positioned at the point where the Arakawa and Sumida Rivers diverge. The distinctive landscape of the red old sluice gate and blue new sluice gate standing side by side is striking, and at dusk, the contrast is magnificent as the setting sun paints the vast Arakawa riverbed red. A cycling road runs along the riverbed and is popular as a turnaround point for cyclists from the city center. It's a hidden gem sunset spot known only to those who seek it out within Tokyo.
