Shintomibashi (Shintomibashi) is a bridge that crosses the Metropolitan Expressway along the narrow street connecting Ginza and Shintomi.

It is a bridge on the north side of Miyoshi Bridge facing the Chuo-ku government office.

It's the location on the map below.

Previously, I introduced a rose from "Kaedegawa Shintomibashi Park" on the south side of this bridge on this blog.

The Yoshino cherry tree in Hashizume, east and west of Shintomi Bridge, is in full bloom.

This bridge was close to Kyobashi Park, and when I went to lunch, there were many people taking pictures of cherry blossoms in full bloom at Kyobashi Park and Shintomi Hashizume, and it was quite lively.

A while after Yoshino cherry tree is over, large roses in Shintomibashi Park begin to bloom.

Kyobashi Park is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a municipal park next to Kyobashi Plaza, a ward inhabitant hall in Chuo-ku.

It is not so far from Showa-dori, but it is a quiet and calm park.

It may be because the whole park is surrounded by large trees of platanus and ginkgo.

Here, Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom now.

Here, there used to be Kyobashi Elementary School, and even after the elementary school was no longer integrated, the park that was attached was left.

In the corner of the building of Kyobashi Plaza, a part of the "staircase pillar beside the workshop" of the former Kyobashi Elementary School is left as a memorial.

In the park, there are also flowers of Benikobushi.

Ginza Sakura-dori St. is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a literal row of cherry blossom trees extending east and west along the Metropolitan Expressway.

This street is not as crowded as the main street in Ginza, but it is a fun street with antenna shops in Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures, as well as delicious bread shops.

Yoshino cherry tree is now in full bloom on this street.

However, what is often planted on this street is a variety called "Kanzan" of Yaezakura, which blooms later than Yoshino cherry tree.

Kanzan is Yaezakura, which blooms from mid-April to early May, and the colors of flowers and buds are darker than Yoshino cherry tree.

It seems that if there are many petals, it will exceed 50.

It seems that the flower has a long period of time, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

From Sotobori-dori St. side, walk along this Ginza Sakura-dori St. and reach Chuo-dori Street, you will reach the intersection of Ginza Street Exit right next to Kyobashi.

At the main pillar of Kyobashi, "Yaebenishidarezakura" is planted, and this is also currently blooming.

This is a little darker pink yaezakura than Yoshino cherry tree, and it is very beautiful with yellow green leaves of young leaves.

It is a season when the red color of the sprout of Benikamochi is beautiful.

Every year, in the same season as the flowering of Yoshino cherry tree in spring, beautiful red color flutters in the wind.

Benikanamochi is a variant of Kanamemochi, and the sprout of Kanamemochi itself is red, so it seems that it is easy to get confused, but among Kanamemochi, those with a particularly strong red sprout are distinguished as Benikanamochi.

The photo was taken behind the Chuo-ku government office, or on the fence surrounding the front yard of the Kyobashi Library.

This is also planted on the opposite side of the Metropolitan Expressway, which runs beside the Chuo-ku government office (Ginza Blossom side).

Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom at once.

The background is the Yoshino cherry tree of Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park.

This is Sakura at Akatsuki Park in Tsukiji 7-chome.

There are many cherry trees in this park, and the photo above shows the cherry trees over the Siebold statue near the east entrance.

There are a number of giant metasequoia trees in this park, which I have introduced in this blog before, but this season completely leaves.

weeping cherry tree is still in a bud.

Facing the settlement Chuo-dori, the works of children at Akashi Elementary School were exhibited as pottery, and white flowers of Yukiyanagi were blooming in the planting space along it.

Akashicho Riverside Park is a long and narrow park extending along the west bank of the Sumida River on the east side of St. Luke Garden.

In the morning and evening, it is full of jogging and walking dogs, and in the daytime it is a place for office workers to relax.

It's the pink part of the map below.

The Yoshino cherry tree, which is planted along the park, is overhanging the branches to cover promenade, making it a wonderful view during the full bloom season.

It was still six minutes blooming in the morning of the 24th when I visited, but by the time this blog was posted, it would be fully in full bloom.

In the park, there is a large tree of "eucalyptus tree" from the "5th anniversary tree planting of the sister city partnership in Suzaland, Chuo-ku".

On the other side, you can see Tsukuda and Kachidoki skyscrapers lined up.

The photo below shows the tower apartments in Tsukuda over Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge from the park.

On the day, I was able to see a flock of Japanese plums.

What you can see is the roof of the water bus "Akashicho / St. Luke Garden Front Departure".
