A few minutes later after crossing Kiso River 木曽川, the 138 metre tall twin arch tower in Kiso Sansen Park 国営木曽三川公園 (the largest urban park in Japan) stands out above the rooftops.

In Japan they can't resist a good play on words, so the 138 metre height was chosen because it sounds like the name of Ichinomiya city 一宮市, where part of the park is located.
