Gojukken-bana, Coastal revetment in Haneda, Japan.
Gojukken-bana is a stone revetment located where the Tamagawa and Ebi Torikawa rivers meet in Ota Ward, Tokyo. The wall extends along the waterfront for roughly 90 meters and becomes partially submerged when water levels rise.
The revetment was built to protect the area from high water and strong river currents near the river outlets. Its construction reflects the period of port development and urban expansion in this part of Tokyo.
A funeral hall stands nearby to commemorate individuals who lost their lives in water incidents along the Tamagawa River.
The location is popular with anglers, especially during low tide when various fish species like gobies and sea bass are active. Access is straightforward, and visitors should check tide times to plan the best fishing windows.
Visitors come to this spot on New Year's Day to watch the first sunrise while observing aircraft taking off and landing at nearby Haneda Airport. This blend of nature and modern aviation creates a distinctive viewing experience.
