About Jukkenbashi Bridge

Jukkenbashi Bridge is the name of the bridge in Sumida Ward, Tokyo.
In Kanji, I write “十間橋”, It is about 5 minutes on foot from Tokyo Metro Oshima station.
You can see the Tokyo sky tree from the bridge.
In the night, it reflects upside down the Tokyo sky tree to the surface of the river.
If you take a picture of Tokyo Sky Tree, you can say that this bridge is the most instagrammable.

Toshima Ward Ikebukuro Sports Center
Toshima ward Ikebukuro sports center

It is a gym on the 9th floor of a building about 5 minutes’ walk from Ikebukuro station. It is 400 yen in 2 hours and it is very cheap and facilities are substantial. However, because the popularity is very high, the locker room is crowded at the weekend. You can look over Ikebukuro buildings while training.
Since the reception is on the 9th floor and the gym is on the 10th floor, you can change clothes in the locker room and go upstairs.
When I visited there was quite a locker room crowded and 2 hours had passed because of that the extra fee was paid.
