Hanami 2018 by Edo Bus

[Silver] March 27, 2018 09:00

 From the north exit of Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, take the "Edo Bus" of the north circulation. From here, the bus "Harumi Liner" bound for Harumi Triton departs and arrives.

Looking at the bus timetable, the Edo bus runs every 20 minutes.

Before that, I enjoyed the stunning row of cherry blossom trees at Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St., which runs from the north exit of Tokyo Station Yaesu-dori to the Takashimaya area. As of March 23, it was close to full bloom.

Take the bus and buy a one-day ticket of 300 yenya. From inside the car, look at the Yoshino cherry tree of Edo Sakura-dori St., which leads to the head office of the Bank of Japan, Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building, and the bus turn right at JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station. Here I saw a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers on Edo-dori St., which leads to Bakurocho Station. The lyrics of "Northern Spring" appear in my mind. 

 The bus turns left at Cored Muromachi 1 and passes in front of Bunmeido. Cherry trees are also planted here, so you can see the cherry blossoms. Looking at Sugimori Shrine to the left and Tokyo Commodity Exchange to the right, the bus goes from Horidome-cho to Kodemmacho. On Edo-dori St. from Kodemmacho to Bakurocho, you can see a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers again.

 Get off at the "Hamacho Station" bus stop in front of Meijiza, slowly see the cherry blossoms at Hamacho Park. You can enjoy Meijiza-mae and the weeping cherry tree in Hamacho Park from the end of March to the beginning of April. However, there are also individual differences.

 Take a stroll to the bus stop "Suitengu-mae" across the road. Re-ride the Edo bus, and the bus passes through Ningyocho Station, Nihonbashi Kumin Center, Shinkawa 1, 2-chome, passes through Kameshima Bridge, Hatchobori, and enters Yaesu Street in front of Ichiyoshi Securities. Enter. Arrived at Chuo-ku government office through Sakurabashi and Shintomi Kumin-mae. It is a fun cherry blossom viewing trip using the Edo bus.

Even if you get off the bus, look at the red flowers of peach blossoms (Hana Momo) in front of Chuo-ku government office and see them.
