I saw this interesting little place when I was going to the police station last week. It looks like an island, but it's not. It's a long skinny penninsula. Maybe people fish here? It's pretty long, maybe people come here to take a walk. It's a mystery.

Maybe boats came there? Would be nice to walk along.
It's very pretty. It would be a wonderful spot to walk or just contemplate.
Looks lovely and peaceful. xx
I searched the internet, but came up with no explanation. When you look at a map, the Tomoe River and others in Shimizu have these long 'tongues' of man made land in the river. I can think of two explanations. Either they were made to lead the flow of water into the city or out of it. Another possibility is that they were part of a labyrinth of waterways to confuse invaders. If there is or have been a castle nearby, these canals and land areas could be a system of defence, misleading the enemy and trapping them...
Whatever, they are now pleasant areas for walking obviously.
Intriguing! It does look like a lovely spot for a walk.
I love how you are still finding new mysteries in your area!
Perhaps those steps were for boarding a small ferry along the river. Walking along would be lovely, peaceful and very cool in the heat of Summer.
