Senju Thermal Power Station

Senju-sakuragi, Japan

The Senju Thermal Power Station was a power plant in Tokyo that existed on the banks of the Sumida River from 1926 to 1963. The plant is still somewhat famous in Japan because of its "Ghost Chimneys", which became a symbol of the area and were often featured in Japanese movies and books of the time. The power station's address was 35 Senju Sakuragi, Adachi Ward, Tokyo (now gone). There was also a power plant by the same name along the banks of the same Sumida River in North Toshima, South Senju from 1905 to 1917.
