　Recently, you can see a new bridge downstream of Kachidokibashi.

　It is colored with a silver lineage, and the contrast with the blue color of the water surface is wonderful.

　The Shiodome skyscraper is also beautiful in the distance.

　It was recently bridged as an extension of this bridge, Loop Route 2.

　It seems that the opening is still ahead, but it is wonderful with a silhouette that is very similar to Kachidokibashi that I have so far.

　Construction of Loop Route 2 (MacArthur Road) is underway at a rapid pace from Ariake, Koto-ku to Shin Toyosu (wholesale market is under construction), Toyosu Ohashi, and Kachidoki, Chuo-ku.

　Then cross the new bridge and connect from Tsukiji Market to Hamarikyu, and to Shimbashi, Toranomon, and Tameike.

It may be fun to take a walk while watching the changing Route 2 for the summer.

　　　・・・ We are currently recruiting names for this bridge. ・・・

Application method is written on page 3 of "News of Ward" issued on April 21. The deadline is May 20th.

From Thursday, April 24 to 26 (Sat)

"Tokyo Art Antique Nihonbashi Kyobashi Art Antique Festival" was held.

Higashi-dori in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi is home to art shops and antique shops, and it is always crowded with many customers.

　It is a unique art densely populated area that pours into Ginza with 150 stores.

　Usually, artworks and antique shops with high thresholds could be easily entered on this day only, and it was full of many customers.

　Inside the shop, you can actually appreciate the hanging scroll by Kourin Ogata, the praise of Sotatsu Tawaraya, and the wood carving of Denchu Hirakushi in front of you, and you are overwhelmed by the realism.

　In addition, each owner will carefully explain each item.

I was able to enjoy a sense of realism different from the museum.

The dyeing of the photo and the maki-e jujube are from Kasugai, an antique art in front of Tokyo Square Garden.

　The owner is a friendly person. I asked you to feel free to ask, and I studied a lot for a long time.　

　If you carry "2014 Pasuport", the conversation with the owner will be smooth.　I have a very fun conversation.

　The barrel on the far right is a tub of "Tarugen" in Kyoto, which is used for yudofu. The round tub is a bargain that is hard to see.

Walking around Harumi Park, where the cherry blossoms are scattered, the quay is noisy.

They all line up on the deck and head to each place under command.

 Onboard broadcasting, we are going to prepare for the departure. Everyone is moving quickly in each place.

　On the quay, port staff in yellow clothes wait on their respective mooring ropes and wait for the support of the captain.

　From the park behind I heard the sound of "Japanese white-eye" and "Japanese bush warbler". The park is somehow peaceful.

　When I asked the port staff about the destination of the ship, he smiled and said, "I don't know where to go." .

Shortly after, a "tugboat" arrived from Takeshiba on the opposite bank.

I put a rope on "Teryo Maru" and started pulling it. Then the mooring rope was removed and the preparation for departure was completed.

"Bou" a huge whistle roars in the sky.

  The whistle shook his whole body and brought me back completely from the fall of spring.

Then, led by a towing boat, "Teryo Maru" passed through the Rainbow Bridge and headed to the open sea.

"Teryo Maru" seems to be heading for a survey of fisheries resources in the Pacific Ocean. And the port staff in yellow clothes also disappeared somewhere with a yellow port ship, and the towing boat heads directly to Takeshiba Wharf.

　Occasionally, you can see such a boating scene at Harumi Wharf.

　Take a walk in the Harumi area in early April.

The cherry blossoms bloom at once, even though the cold days continue.

　Spring has come to the Asashio Canal.

From Tsukishima, cross Asashiobashi, turn west, and take the Tokyo Towers in the background.

Cherry blossoms were overhanging toward the canal.

Crossing the bridge, the area near Art Harumi is also in full bloom.

It is a cherry tree from Sumitomo Triton Square to Tsukuda.

　Harumi Wharf is also in full bloom. The ugly is singing. Japanese white-eye also enjoys spring.

The piece with the stone wall looks like a castle ruin somewhere deep in the mountains, and it is also tasteful.

When you go up the canal and reach Reimei Bridge, a cherry blossom boat goes down.　　　Behind the houseboat, the small boat was swayed by the waves. Beyond the bridge

Cherry blossoms.

　The cherry blossoms were immeasurable, blowing in the wind in a few days, and the cherry blossoms of the lobes fell.

From now on, it's spring performance in Chuo-ku.　

　At the Hamarikyu Garden, canola flower is now in full bloom.

　We took a walk in the park.

　The red and white plums are in full bloom when you enter from the large entrance.

　And further down, despite the heavy snow, canola flower was in full bloom.

　If you look into many Hanabusa, the petals are hurt by snow. Stroll along the path. The hotels in Shiodome are shining in the sun.

I extended my feet to "Ochinyama" (Ochinyama). It's still a winter atmosphere.

At the foot of the mountain, narcissus is blooming.
This is like a place where there is no wind.

Nyanko also took a nap at Matsuno teahouse near here.

canola flower was in full bloom in the middle of the year, but as it gets warmer, it will delight many customers.

　　On the afternoon of March 6, a “Onboard Guide Workshop” hosted by Chuo-ku was held.

　　Take a boat from the boarding of Takahashi, Koto-ku, go out the Onagi River in Koto-ku, and downstream down the Sumida River. Look at Chuo-ohashi Bridge to the right, go through Aioi Bridge, and go to the Toyosu Tree Plant.

　From the Toyosu Canal, the boat goes to Toshin, the Sunacho Canal, and go south from the Akebono Canal to Tokyo Bay.

　Around this time, many Olympic facilities will be built.

After that, we went westward north and went from Shinonome Canal to Harumi Wharf.

　The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful on the left hand. The waves are swaying high and big around here, giving the real pleasure of the ship.

　It is said that the left hand of Harumi Passenger Terminal will be the Olympic Village.

　The boat looks at the Asashio Canal to the right and goes to the Sumida River, and the refrigeration facilities at Tsukishima Wharf are the highlight.

　Loop Route 2 passing through Shimbashi (commonly known as MacArthur Road: scheduled to open in recent years) Bridge construction site, and from Tsukiji Market to Kachidokibashi.

Tsukuda Island on the right from St. Luke's Hospital.
The houses of Tsukuda from the sea are very nice.　The scenery from the sea is carefully built.

　When you pass through Chuo-ohashi Bridge, the Ishikawajima Condominiums are beautiful in the backlight.

And from Nihonbashi River to Toyomi Bridge. The fishing boat during the mooring is an accent. At Minato Bridge, I discovered the emblem of a sailing boat.

The boat goes westward with the stylish capital height as the roof.
Arrived on the shore of Sojuro Nihonbashi.

From now on, Chuo-ku will expand its doors to the sea.
