Feeling full and happy we walked towards Harumi. All of the land here is reclaimed. I expected it to be more warehouse-like. I have been through this area before, mostly on a motor bike or going out to eat monja (more on that later), but I was surprised to see so much gentrification - many upmarket highrise among the industrial areas. It's walking distance to Ginza, which makes it easily gentrifiable.

Crossing from Tsukiji area - the silver moon on the aparment building had me thinking it was a love hotel, but actually just an enthusiastic architect. |

| Dredging I think, on the Sumidagawa (river) |

Let's make a town (suburb) with no terrorists. Can't disagree with that, though I wonder how effective it would be in deterring committed terrorists.... |

It seems like a seriously DINK area. Very double good income. This is a gym |
 |
| A car park with more than usual foliage |
 |
| A very hazy look at the Rainbow Bridge from Harumi |

A MAFF (ministry of ag. forestry & fishing ship) docked at Harumi. Off limits to the public it probably spends its time chasing the Sea Shephard when not in port. |
It seems like whaling ships dock here
