From Akatsuki Bridge in Tsukiji River Park to St. Luke's International University along St. Luke's Street, St. Luke's International Hospital side (opposed from Time Dome Akashi), Kinshibai and Beyo willow are in full bloom.

The map below is the yellow part.

Both Kinshibai (Kinito plum) and Beyoyanagi (Mioyanagi, Beautyyanagi) are semi-deciduous small shrubs of the family Otogirisou, native to China, and came to the Edo period. The flowering season is around June and July, and it is the same to the place where yellow flowers bloom, but the difference is that the stamens of the willow willow is long, there are many, and it is well noticeable.
