Last time, I invited a cherry blossom viewing on the Sumida River from Tokyo Station on the Tokyo Bus (Higashi 16), but this is a report of a cherry blossom viewing walk.
Since the flowering declaration, stormy days have continued, with rain and spring storms coming, and I was worried about the weather this weekend, but on the morning of Saturday, April 5, it was a perfect cherry blossom viewing day with the blue sky. I usually walked along the river when I went to the office.
If you go out on the east 16, get off in front of Sumitomo Twin Building and you will see a pure white Chuo-ohashi Bridge imitating a helmet in front of you and a group of high-rise apartments on Tsukuda Island. If you walk along the sidewalk in the direction of the bridge, Shinkawa Park is on the left side of the bridge. Let's walk around the Eitai Bridge.
It's nice to walk along the Sumida River terrace because the weather is nice, but now the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, let's walk on the sidewalk above dike. There are many people who walk with dogs, jogging, and those who award flowers. The cherry blossoms that I was worried about have not yet been scattered, and you can enjoy the vivid contrast between the blue sky and the yellow, purple, and green leaves ofdike. After walking to Eitai Bridge, return to the original and cross Chuo-ohashi Bridge.
In October 1992, the former French president of the Republic of France, also known as a pro-Japanese faction, was awarded to Tokyo in October 1992 when he served as mayor of Paris by O. Zadkine (French sculptor). One piece. The pink cherry blossoms of Shinkawa Park, the blue of the Sumida River and the blue sky, and the Eitai Bridge and the Sky Tree in the distance are vivid. The Eitai Bridge is lit up at night, and it is also famous as a place where many houseboats come and go and have a beautiful night view.
Cross the bridge to the left and go to Ishikawajima Park. At the northern end is the Paris Square, which was created to commemorate the friendship with the city of Paris. Along with Chuo-ohashi Bridge, it often appears as a location in movies and dramas (Good luck, eyes, etc.) In addition to the beautiful Yoshino cherry tree, weeping cherry trees (weeping cherry tree) are in full bloom.
Cross the road from Ishikawajima Park, pass the side of Tsukudajima Elementary School, and go to the other side of the island to Tsukudajima Park. This is the place where the Ishikawajima Ashojo, which appears in the textbook of school history, is also home to flowers and greenery around the monument that imitated the Ishikawajima Lighthouse built in 1866. 
Ishikawajima is the feudal lord of the Mito Domain, and Nariaki Tokugawa, also known as the father of the last Shogun Yoshinobu, built a shipyard in 1853 and became the cornerstone of the later Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries (IHI). On Saturday (and Wednesday), the Ishikawajima Museum on the first floor of Pier West Square is also open (from 10:00 to 17:00), so why not try to extend your feet together? It is a place where you can easily learn about the history of the shipyard and the history of Tsukuda Island. If you are hungry, you can take a break at a nearby restaurant, or if you reach Tsukishima, you can eat it, and it will be a fun Saturday.
