Old Iwabuchi Sluice Gate 旧岩淵水門

5-41-1 Shimo, Kita City, Tokyo

Visit Old Iwabuchi Sluice Gate, a gateway into Japan's past. This gate was built in 1924 to prevent the Sumida River from flooding by diverting most of the water overflow to the Arakawa Floodway. While it no longer serves this purpose today, the bright red gate is still a beautiful sight to behold.
