Miyoshi Bridge, which spans in front of Chuo-ku government office, is a bridge of "Mitsumata" that has a very distinctive shape of the bridge, and when viewed from above, it is a "Y shape" bridge.

Under the bridge, the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway runs, but in the past there was a river called Tsukiji River.

The current Miyoshi Bridge is also a bridge where "Ginza Yanagi-dori St.", which runs on the border between Ginza 1-chome and 2-chome, crosses the "Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway".

kinsib201804.JPG

At the foot of this bridge, there is an explanation board describing the history of Miyoshi Bridge, and according to the explanation, this bridge is located at the bent point of the Tsukiji River (Kaedegawa / Tsukiji River connecting canal) was opened and the river became a three-pronged form, as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake, 2019.

It seems that the form of the bridge is "Micro-shaped simple steel plate girder bridge".

Also, in the planting space at the base of this bridge, a lot of yellow flowers are now blooming.

It's the place on the map above, red.

Kinshibai (Kinito plum) is a semi-deciduous small shrub belonging to the family Euphoraceae, which is native to China.

kinsib201806.JPG

The origin of the name is that the shape of the flower resembles a plum and the color is yellow.

Kawano's "red" and "skin color" seem to be used to express vitality, and I feel something like a hidden power.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 15, 2018 18:00

Surrounded by Ginza 5-chome, Yasuaki Elementary School, Tokyu Plaza Ginza, and Harumi-dori St., Sukiyabashi Park is located.

It was once the Sukiya Bridge built over the outer moat of Edo Castle.

There is also a "Young Clock Tower" by Taro Okamoto in the park.

Several Kashiwaba hydrangeas (Kashiwaba hydrangea) in this park are beginning to bloom.

A deciduous shrub of the Hydrangea genus Hydrangea, native to southeastern North America.

kasiwa201804.JPG

Compared to other hydrangeas, the name is derived from the fact that the leaves are large and deep cut, resembling the leaves of Kashiwa.

kasiwa201805.JPG

In addition, a large conical inflorescence is also characteristic.

The part that looks like a flower is called "ornamental flower", which has greatly developed gaku.

This park plays an oasis role in the city, and now the only flower in the park, the white flower of Kashiwaba hydrangea, softened the hearts of those who are taking a break in the park.
