Tsukuda Island has a rich history dating back to the early Edo period when it was first developed. Built in the 17th century, Tsukuda Island was originally designed as a fishing village by the Tokugawa shogunate. The island was constructed by fishermen from Osaka who were invited by the shogunate to create a new settlement. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River, the island served as a strategic point for fishing and trade. Today, Tsukuda Island is a mix of traditional and modern elements, featuring historical sites like the Sumiyoshi Shrine, as well as modern residential complexes and parks. This footage beautifully captures the blend of historical significance and contemporary development, highlighting Tsukuda Island's unique position within Tokyo's urban landscape.
