This photo captures the Arakawa River enveloped in the stillness before dawn.

This photograph captures the twilight just before sunrise along the Arakawa River. It seizes the moment when the sky begins to faintly brighten amidst the lingering stillness of the air. It presents a scene where the charm of dawn, blending silence and anticipation, can be felt. The Arakawa embankment is a hidden gem as a sunrise photography spot. The vast landscape woven by the expansive sky and flowing river offers a special moment unique to the early morning. Particularly, the sight of the morning glow coloring the sky and reflecting on the river surface is fantastical, making it an ideal subject for photography enthusiasts. The time spent peacefully welcoming the start of the day in the quiet riverside environment is truly special. During winter, the crisp air allows for clear shots of distant scenery, and the ability to enjoy different expressions depending on the season is another appealing aspect.
