The stylish gas light is very nice on the promenade which is neatly maintained. In the evening, you can enjoy a romantic walk with a gas light automatically lit. Walking for a while, I found a man sitting on a bench and blowing instruments. But it was a bronze statue of a trio playing an instrument. It is a work of Mr. Akihiko Kurokawa named "Riverside Trio" (1992). When I actually sat next to him, I was surprised at the strong of the two men. When you listen quietly, you can hear the sound of jazz.
