Benikobushi blooms on the north side of the street from Saijo Bridge to Ichiba Bridge Intersection (Ichiba Bridge Street), on the north side of Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, and on both sides from the celebration bridge to Shin-ohashi-dori St. (map below, pink part).

Benikobushi (Red Magnolia kobus) is said to have been altered by the genus Mokuren, also known as Himeshi Dekobushi (Princess Four Tesui), whose petals are white.

The name comes from a friend of Magnolia kobus, because the flower color is light red.

Benikobushi on Ichiba Bridge Street is a wonderful view like Tsukiji, with tarley (blue vehicle in the photo above) being parked and blooming.

By the way, Turret Truck is an abbreviation for Turret Truck, a general term for transport vehicles used for cargo in factories, warehouses, railway stations, etc., but it is a familiar car in the Tsukiji market.

The pale pink petals, rather than light red, are elongated and wavy, and have a different impression than the original white Magnolia kobus.
