　"Ginza willow Festival" will be held on May 5th.

Ginza's willows are very famous, but as you know, Ginza is Ginza Sakura-dori St., Yanagi-dori St., Marronnier Street, Matsuya Street (dogwood, United States), Harumi-dori St. is zelkova, Miyuki Street is "Onebatago, commonly known as Nanjiyamonja"dogwood Street is Tsubaki Street.

　In this season, neat white and cute flowers bloom and heal your heart.

It's "Nanja Monja, a Japanese name one batago."　As of April 29, one shot on Miyuki Street.

　And "Marronnier", which feels like it has somehow carried the scent of Paris.

Let's walk in the direction of Matsuya from Marronnier Gate, Plantan.　(Photo: May 9, last year)

　Ginza street where you can feel the four seasons in the city. C'est tre' bien!

4/25 (Sun) I was surprised by the fresh fresh greenery of the trees along Shinkawa Park. The leaves of the cherry blossoms stretch out their hands (branches) for the first time in a long time, and seem to be sunbathing.

If the weather continues for a few days, it will be a green tunnel path.

　Everyone, today!　It is "Hananoki" of Tsukiji River Park which I introduced last time.

After the buds become flowers and the flowers fall, as with "Iroha maple", seeds like "bamboo dragonfly" are attached to the leaves.

The leaves are changing from autumn leaves to moe-yellow.　Please go out.

It is the north and left side of Akatsuki Bridge between Nikkan Sports and St. Luke's College of Nursing.

And when you move from the Akatsuki Bridge side to the park in the south, you will be greeted by neat flowers of Shiroyamabuki.

Trees like "Salsberg" are blooming on the skin of 4 or 5 trees near Hanakai Tang.

It is a flower of "Kanashi" like a maiden painted lipstick for the first time.

There are three apple trees near it.　The apple flowers also bloom in a modest and beautiful flower.

  The photo shows the condition as of April 21.　Please go out.

　<Next, we declare this year's activity policy of Ginzo.

This year, I would like to deliver the charm of Tsukiji River Park throughout the 12 months.

Please look forward to it! ！

[Kabukiza] will finally be closed this month only.

Every day, many people who regret their remnants are coming in.

Even on this day, in the rainy weather, people come together. I tightened my ticket and slowly passed through the front door which I had passed many times. As soon as you enter, you will be wrapped in the air of the playhouse.

The audience's excitement spreads more than usual. In the tightly packed spectator seats, you can see the attitude of burning the last performance firmly in your eyes.

As you know, the current [Kabukiza] was built in the current style in 1925 after several renovations, and was rebuilt in 1951 after being destroyed by the war. It has long been loved by people as the origin of Japanese Kabuki culture.

Let's say goodbye for a while until the next generation of theaters opens in three years. The "stick board" (a board that beats the clap as the sound effect of the stage) set up in front of the "formal curtain" seemed to have a feeling of regret.

The play culture that shines brilliantly in Chuo-ku will continue to nurture history. Even while Kabukiza is closed, you can enjoy it at several theaters such as Shimbashi Enbujo, Meijiza, Mitsukoshi Theater, and Le Theatre Ginza.

I would like to continue to value it as a flower of urban culture. 

More Goodbye to the Kabukiza Theater for a while

On April 18 (Sun), there was a group running along the Sumida River.

 I crossed Eitai Bridge and ran to Yaesu Street. It seems that he was a participant of "Bicicicle Ride 2010 in Tokyo".

In addition, the cherry blossoms along the river were almost past their best, but a few of the skyscrapers were in full bloom. It was in a state where you could enjoy the cherry blossom viewing.

It's a personal preference, but I like Yae-zakura because it's flashy and brighter than Yoshino cherry tree!

If I have the opportunity to go to Ginza at this time, I'm looking forward to the Yae-zakura of Sakura-dori St.

Two years ago, when I contacted the Civil Engineering Department Green Park Division in Chuo-ku about the best time to see it.

I was very kind to teach you and I was able to go when it was in full bloom!

(photod on April 15, 2008)

Well, I'd like to contact you today for the first time in two years.

 It was said, "I'm going to be in full bloom now" (* ^^ *)

If you are going to Ginza, please do not hesitate!

From the hit of Liptton at the corner of 1-chome on Sotobori-dori St. to the police box on Ginza Street.

Yae-zakura should be blooming beautifully on Sakura-dori St.★

This Sakura-dori St. is a hidden cherry blossom spot with 50 Yae-zakura trees.
