Since it was the autumn tourist season, a foreign passenger ship entered the port for the first time in a long time.

Looking at the telescope, I could see a large number of foreigners looking at Tokyo from decks and windows on the top floor.

The flag was "BAHAMAS" and entered the port from Sendai around 9 o'clock and left for Osaka in the evening.

It was a day trip to Tokyo ... Where did you see ...? ？

On September 28 (Tuesday), it was raining since the morning, but the rain stopped in the evening and the change in the sky at the sunset was too beautiful, so I pressed the shutter. I took a picture of "Shiodome" from "Kachidoki".

 

 

　The weather is fine on September 25.　Today, I walked from Suitengu Station to Hamacho.

When I visited Matsushima Shrine and proceeded as it was, I found a pink cluster amaryllis at Hamacho Ryokudo Park.

 

　At the end of the park, cluster amaryllis is blooming on the side of the road.

　A cluster amaryllis that blooms quietly in the valley of a building.　I saw a light pink cluster amaryllis for the first time.

　This is crimson Cluster Amaryllis, white and light pink.

　Will the expiration date be around October 3?　Please check it out.

This year, the heat continued until September 22, so flowering has been delayed even in other areas famous for Manjusha flowers.

　A little shopping and coffee at Tornale Nihonbashihamacho.

　The object I found on my way back to Suitengu.　I've seen it before, but I don't know the name.

The pedestal was engraved with "Shosei". I don't have the name of the author, but is it Kan Yasuda? 

The building stretches like the pillars of Parthenon Shrine and supported by it.

　Power and gentleness are in harmony.

 

 

 

 

 

　In September this year, midsummer days continued until the 22nd. It rained on the 23rd, and on the 24th, the maximum temperature was around 20 degrees C.

I suddenly turned from the abnormal heat and wore long sleeves and wore autumn clothes.　In such nature, will the azalea that has been withering recover by the rain of grace?

　Well, the fruit that I was waiting for is growing steadily.　It's growing pear.

 

　"Kiwifruit" is harvested soon. Do you know that it was called because it resembles Kiwi Bird?

　Pampas grasses are growing against the backdrop of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

What do you think about the spread of naturalized species in biodiversity?　Where is the Showa era dead pampas grass?

 

 

 

On September 17, when the refreshing autumn sky spread, Ginzo went to Riverside Autumn Festa, which was introduced in a blog post on September 14.

 

The event starts at 5 o'clock, but first we go at 4 o'clock and apply for a free water cruise. A line has already been formed, and 15 minutes later, half of the capacity (200 passengers each flight) ends.

It's also quite popular, helping with the best weather for cruising.

One hour to start. While the festival Japanese lantern was excited about the atmosphere, music performances and final preparations for the mock shop were busy here and there.

 

After walking for a while, the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association and Waterside Division began free distribution of "charcoal and Hosenka flower seedlings on Miyakejima Island". Charcoal is a carbonized island tree that died in the 2000 Miyakejima Island volcanic eruption disaster for effective use, and it seems that the association has purchased it to help rebuild the island.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　 

 

　　　　　　　　　　Hosenka, it's big!　　　Charcoal is used as soil improvement material.

Once I returned home, I went back to the venue again at the boarding time at 5:50 (here joined Ginzo).

 

When I got on the boat on the deck, there was a faint red-colored cloud spreading.

We are finally leaving for a 30-minute cruising, blowing in a pleasant river breeze.

 

After that, the Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba, Harumi Wharf, and so on.

Tokyo famous places showed me one after another, but unfortunately, my camera and arm showed me.

I couldn't take a picture that I could introduce here. The following two sheets are on the same ship

This is a photo of the Tokyo Tower provided by Ginzo on board.

  Shooting: Mr. Ginzo

For other photos of the beautiful night view, please see the article by Ginzo last year.

 

It seems that this water bus also plays an active role in transporting goods and supporting returning home in the event of a disaster, and it has a flat shape so that it can operate under the bridge even at high tide and under the shallow depth even at low tide. That's right.

 

Now, go down the ship and take on the chance of scratch.

Here, my husband who went with me won the first prize!

The prizes are 2 special boarding tickets for the Tokyo Mizube Line! There are various routes on the water bus.

I'm looking forward to what course I'd like to take.

 

 

The Nihonbashi River is a Koishikawa Bridge near the border between Chiyoda-ku and Bunkyo-ku, separated from the Kanda River, and joins the Sumida River at the end of Toyomi Bridge.

 The Nihonbashi River is a river line that was opened by Seki after the battle of Hara in 1600 (1600) and played a major role as a canal connecting Edo Castle's large tactics and Sumida River almost straight, and has supported the prosperity of Edo. .

In Chuo-ku, there are Toyomi Bridge, Minato Bridge, Kayaba Bridge, Armor Bridge, Edobashi, Nihonbashi, Nishikawabashi Bridge, and Ichiishi Bridge, but this time from the mouth, Toyomi Bridge, Minato Bridge, Kayaba Bridge, Armor Bridge, Edobashi I will introduce in the order.

   

It's Toyomi Bridge. It is located at the bottom of the Nihonbashi River.

It has an unusual design like a ladder lying down.

It has been replaced several times, but the current bridge was completed in 1927 (1927).

It is Tangible Cultural Property inhabitant of a ward.

The following is Toyomi Bridge seen from Minato Bridge.

In the center of the bridge, "Minato Bridge" is written.

(Nihonbashihakozakicho-Shinkawa 1-chome)

It was built to connect Reigishi Island (now Shinkawa) with Hakozaki on the opposite bank.

The surrounding area was the entrance to Edo Minato, so it became Minato Bridge.

The pier is a three-piece arch made of reinforced concrete.

Kayaba Bridge (Nihonbashi Kayabacho 1-chome - Nihonbashikoamicho)

In the past, the area around Minamizume of the bridge was a storage area where kaya was cut and piled up, so it became "Kayaba Bridge".

One of the features of the balustrade of the bridge is the design of three triangles on the handrails.

 Armor Bridge (Nihonbashikoamicho, Nihonbashikabutocho, 1-chome, Nihonbashi Kayabacho)

 Until it was bridged in Meiji 5 (1872), there was a ferryboat called "handing of armor".

The bridge was aging and the current bridge was replaced in 1957.

The outside of the balustrade is going out like an elbow.

  Edobashi (Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome to Nihonbashi 1-chome)

The current bridge is a steel arch bridge that was built as part of the reconstruction plan after the earthquake in 1927.

The fine continuous pattern of the balustrade is illuminated by the sun and looks beautiful.
