Gov't to drain moat, remove garbage, non-indigenous fish

TOKYO, Japan - The Ushigafuchi section of the moat surrounding the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, which the Environment Ministry said Feb. 19 it intends to drain and clean up. The Usigafuchi section will be a pilot project for a five-year scheme to eliminate foreign fish from the entire 13 sections of the palace moat to preserve indigenous species. The ministry said non-indigenous fish, notably bluegill sunfish and black bass, have come to dominate the moat.

The city of Tokyo seen from moatside

View from the middle of Kudan Slope (just outside Tayasu Gate), looking west at the Kanda area. The other side of the Ushigafuchi area is Iida-machi 1-chome, acquired by Yasukuni Shinto Shrine (still called Shokonsha) for emergency use in June 1878. The Kokkokan Panorama would be built here in 1902 and later rented as a military hall (present-day Kudan Kaikan) to provide income for the shrine. Connected to the right of photograph #4004, this photograph creates a panoramic view of the area.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.

A view of the Goji-in plain outside Ichihashi-mon Gate

View of Shimizu-mon (gate) located half-way up Kudan-zaka (in front of Tayasu Gate). The gate visible in the centre back is Shimizu-mon. Since the gate was destroyed in 1873, this photograph must have been taken before that date. The building on its right is the guardsmen's artillery station at Takebashi. The moat in the foreground was called Ushigafuchi (Bull Ravine). The Shinsen Tokyo Meishozue (Newly Selected Famous Places of Tokyo) states that, A bull and cart carrying coins went down into the moat and never came up, and this is the origin of the name. When attached to photograph #4003, this becomes a continuous panoramic scene.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.
