The station in Chuo-ku is all underground.

[Koedo Itabashi] April 30, 2010 08:30

When enjoying a walk in Chuo-ku, it is important to use the developed subway network well. I feel this from my daily experience.

Well, where is the starting point of the walk?

On the JR Line, Tokyo Station is the gateway to the capital Tokyo. For access to Ginza, Yurakucho Station. Kanda Station to Nihonbashi and Muromachi. Each station is a base for transportation, and it is a convenient station for changing trains and shopping.

 

But if you look at the location of the station, that's right. It's not Chuo-ku.

Tokyo Station and Yurakucho Station, which leads to Ginza and Nihonbashi, are Chiyoda-ku. On the way north from Tokyo Station to Kanda Station, the Yamanote Line enters Chuo-ku near Shin-Towa Bridge, but when you arrive at Kanda Station, it is Chiyoda-ku.

Shimbashi Station, the nearest station to Hamarikyu Garden, belongs to Minato-ku.

 

JR stations in Chuo-ku are located on the Sobu Main Line, which connects to the Yokosuka Line under Tokyo Station, and there are two stations, Shin-Nihonbashi Station and Bakurocho Station.

In addition, Hatchobori Station is located on the Keiyo Line, which leads to Chiba on the Tokyo Bay shore from the Keiyo Line platform under Tokyo Station.

These three stations are all underground stations.

The Sobu Main Line crosses the Sumida River and appears on the ground in front of Ryogoku Station in Sumida-ku.

The Keiyo Line goes out to the ground near JR Freight Echinakajima Station in Koto-ku and extends to Shinkiba Station.

 

All the subway lines are underground stations, and all the railway stations in Chuo-ku are underground.

In the process of extending the railway, you probably went underground to make effective use of the land.

In short, the best way to know Chuo-ku is to make full use of underground stations.

If you are tired of strolling in Chuo-ku, go underground.

 

 

 

Hamarikyu Garden The last light-up of this season

[Yurikamome] April 19, 2010 07:12

  The Hamarikyu Garden will be lit up until 19th and 20th (Monday and Tuesday).

  By all means, please visit the garden at night.

  I think it will heal your fatigue during the day.

  Along with the cherry blossoms reflected on the surface of the pond at night and the new leaves of maple, the glow of the surrounding buildings looks beautiful.

  I enjoyed it too.

Wild radish

[Street Corner Walk] April 11, 2010 23:11

daikon.jpg     The cherry blossoms have passed quickly, but the root radish (commonly known as), which has a reputation in the neighborhood, grows better than the flowerpots, and blooms pure white and beautiful flowers.  You may have grown up while being supported around you, but aren't you healthy?                                                   (Nihonbashihisamatsucho)

Neighbor's flower

The cherry blossom viewing in Yoshino cherry tree is coming to an end.

From now on, it's time to see various flowers even if you take a walk in the neighborhood of Chot.

I was able to meet such a radish flower in front of a shop in Hisamatsucho.

You can see the beautiful radish feet from the flowerpot.

If you enter the Hamacho River Green Road from the Nihonbashi Fire Station Ningyocho branch office side, you can meet the fine Oshima cherry blossoms.

It is said that this name was given because it is often found on Izu-Oshima Island.

Yoshino cherry tree is one parent because it is said to be a hybrid of Oshima cherry blossoms and Edhigan cherry blossoms.

   The leaves of Sakuramochi were like this Oshima cherry tree.

There is Nisshinbo Building on the corner of amazake Yokocho.

The azaleas planted are wonderful.

If you take amazake Yokocho to Ningyocho-dori, you will find a wonderful cherry tree in front of a shop called Sekiyama.

A tag written as Aoyama Sakura is tied to a tree.

The light pink Yae-zakura is now in full bloom.

I'm always looking forward to seeing you in full bloom.

     2010_0406 Flower of Japanese maple JPG 

     It is a flower of Japanese maple. It is a small red flower.    

    I went to Hamarikyu to shoot cherry blossoms, but it was cute so I added it.

 

    There are various types of cherry blossoms, and if you look closely, each is cute and beautiful.

    Gyoiko and Utsukin were still buds.

    You can enjoy a variety of cherry blossoms until early May.

    It was blessed with good weather and beautiful, so I'm sorry to use a lot of posted surfaces.
