The place name "Ginza" has expanded the area with several changes in address notation, but it shows the presence of Chuo-ku, or as the main street in Japan.
As you walk along Ginza Street to find out where the southern end of Ginza is located, you will pass through the guard of the expressway in front of Shimbashi Station and enter Minato-ku. This is the border, isn't it?
It seems that the Shiodome River once flowed here, and a bridge called "Tsuchihashi" was hung. A remnants are left at the entrance of the expressway called "Tsuchihashi Lamp". (The photo shows the direction of Ginza from the Minato-ku side.)
Let's enjoy "Gin Bra" today while surviving the former water town of Chuo-ku surrounded by rivers.

Today was a surprisingly cold day contrary to expectations, but I went to Tsukiji's "Mochikichi" to buy a gift for a friend. Only on Saturdays and Sundays, I bought 3 rice crackers of ￥210.-$525.-.
On the way back: A dark pink cherry blossoms were blooming at Bizen Bridge in Tsukiji River Park.
It's called Yokou.
It is a horticultural variety that crosses "Amagi Yoshino" and "Kanhizakura".
The following is Yoshino cherry tree. It was blooming near yokou.
Generally speaking, cherry blossoms are a typical variety of cherry blossoms that refer to Yoshino cherry tree.
It is a hybrid of "Edo Higan" and "Oshima Sakura", and it is probable that it was born in Somei Village (around Rikugien) in the Edo period.
In the case of buds, it is light red, but when it blooms, it turns white.
The above is "Sekirei", but it is small and pyongpyong ... I can't put it in the camera well because it jumps.
I did it.

Recently, red sprouts of "maple family Hananoki" in Tsukiji River Park are growing. I'm looking forward to my daily growth and record it with digital cameras.
The location is north of Akatsuki Bridge in Tsukiji River Park, between Tsukiji's daily sports and St. Luke's College of Nursing. There are 24 hanaenoki trees planted here. There are only three large Kokyogaien. It's rare that so many plants are planted.
The buds of red buds in the center of the photo are blooming.
It is pretty unlike the same maple family Iroha maple with seeds like bamboo dragonflies and growing well.
It was cloudy, so I lit a flash...
The cherry blossoms at Tsukiji River Park are also wonderful, but don't overlook them.
Please go out next weekend.
