This photo captures a spot along the Arakawa Riverbank where I felt, "Silence! A beautiful sunrise viewing spot."

This photo was taken with a focus on capturing the river's tetrapods, the sunrise, and the bridge's reflection. The Arakawa riverbank is a recommended spot for quietly enjoying the sunrise. Early in the morning, as the sky gradually brightens, the bridge visible in the distance emerges like a silhouette—a truly impressive sight. The tetrapods also look quite nice in the morning light, adding a simple yet effective accent to the photo. Shooting from the wide space along the embankment, framing the bridge slightly in the distance, allows the sunrise light and scenery to blend together, creating a natural sense of depth. Winter mornings, in particular, offer clear air, making it easier to capture the bridge and the shimmering river surface with greater clarity. It's a quiet time, so there are few people around, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy photography or a leisurely stroll.
