Fun at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge

[ukiuki] April 29, 2011 08:30

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is located between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Kachidokibashi.

 

The bridge itself is a design that emphasizes functionality.

The sidewalk on the north side (upstream of Sumida River, Chuo-ohashi Bridge side) is only pedestrians.

You can walk slowly while enjoying the scenery without worrying about your bicycle.

 

Every time I pass the bridge, I'm looking forward to it.

There is a point where you can see the Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower at the same time.

You can see Tokyo Tower from the twin towers of St. Luke's.

It is about 50 steps from the Tsukishima side.

Everyone, please try it.

 

 

 

Yaesaki Yamabuki and Edo Kirishima-style Ryukyu-style azalea

[Yurikamome] April 29, 2011 08:30

         Hamarikyu Garden 1-103-3541-0200 Hamarikyu Garden 1-1 Hamarikyu Garden, Chuo-ku 

Yaesaki Yamabuki grows on the bank opposite Hamarikyu's Shinsenza Kamoba.

When a thin, supple green branch is illuminated by the sun, the flowers shine golden.

 

Nanae Yae Hana blooms, but it is one of the fruits of Yamabuki.

Yamabuki, famous for its ancient affairs with Michio Ota, is considered to be double-flowered and cannot actually be attached.

I think there are many people who remember what I studied in the past.

Hon Kirishima (Edo Kirishima series)

Single scarlet, 5 stamens ... It is a typical variety of Edo Kirishima.

It was handed down to Edo about 350 years ago.

At that time, there were no such gorgeous flowers in Edo, so Edo citizens seemed to be very surprised.

It was introduced not only in Edo but also throughout the country.

It is introduced as a famous flower in Kinshu Pillow.

In the Edo period, "azaleas" were planted on Mt. Gotei in Hamarikyu, and in the spring it glowed like a red fire.

Currently, it is planted on the shores of the "tidal pond" and on "Oteiyama" and other places.

 Purple Ryukyu (Ryukyu)

A single light purple, 10 stamens. It's sticky.

Purple large azaleas are collectively called "purple Ryukyu".

The flower color is dark and light, and the change varies.

Crossing the "Oden Bridge" of the "Tide Pond" toward the shop of "Hawk Tea House Ruins" and it blooms on the right.

It's best to see it.

The Yae-zakura and wisteria of Tsukiji Catholic Church are in full bloom

[Silver] April 28, 2011 08:30

 I enjoyed a lot of cherry blossoms in Yae-zakura from Yoshino cherry tree in April.

At the Tsukiji Catholic Church, there is a wisteria on the left side of the gate and a Yae-zakura on the right.

 This was the first time I saw a wisteria flower here, and I was very impressed. 

And when I went out in the afternoon, I had coffee and rusk in Aladdin and remembered again.

Aladdin's coffee is ¥190, 5 rusks are ¥100, and confectionery bread is about ¥120.

For more information about Aladdin, I regretted last year's "cat on the hill" blog.

It is said that it will be closed on May 3, 4 and 5.

Akashicho is a town where history and literature live. In addition to a walk around Tsukiji River Park, St. Luke's.

Please drop in at the next stop at Tsukiji.

 

 

 

 

Wisteria, peony, and iris are in bloom.

[Yurikamome] April 28, 2011 08:30

           Hamarikyu 1-1, Chuo-ku, Hamarikyu, Hamarikyu Gardens 

                          03-3541-0200                                    

The Botanen of Hamarikyu is now the best.

After all, it blooms bigger than "Winter Peony" and there are many types.

If you stand up, shakuyaku ... if you sit, button ...

There are a lot of people who have cameras.

On the other side of Botanen, iris sanguinea began to bloom.

The number of flowers increases day by day.

Take a large deep breath and walk around the flowers slowly.

DSCF4827 Hama Ayame 2.jpgThe wisteria blooming in the Hamarikyu Garden blooms on the "Oden Bridge" of the "Tide Pond" and the "Japanese Garden" of the "Yon Liaokan Ruins".

When it was "Hamagoten" in the Edo period, the entire "Oden Bridge" was covered with wisteria trellis, and the north side of "Nakajima no Chaya" was purple wisteria flowers ... the south side was covered with white wisteria flowers. It seems that it was done.

The wisteria trellis is a variety called "Noda Fuji", which is characterized by a long bunch.

The long one is over 2m.

Noda of "Noda Fuji" is the birthplace of this variety and comes from "Noda" in Noda, Fukushima-ku, Osaka.

Walk around Ginza Marronnier Street

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 27, 2011 10:30

 I work at Tsukiji 1-chome (next to Chuo-ku government office), and when I get off the train at Yurakucho Station on the JR Yamanote Line, I walk to the company every day.

 The walking path varies depending on the mood of the day, but basically we are walking along Ginza Marronnier Street, and today we will introduce an attractive building full of individuality that will look up on the way to work.

 First, in the corner of Namiki-dori St., MIKIMOTO Ginza 2 down

On the cherry-colored wall, a glass window with a different shape seems to have been fitted with jewels, like freshwater pearls, and bubbles of water, very fantastic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Next, De Beers Ginza Building down

Oh, I feel like I'm undulating toward heaven. I feel like I'm growing up, I don't think ...

By the way, on the first floor, there is an egg that is like a person's back.

 

 

 

 

 

 In addition, the Tiffany Ginza Building is located on Chuo-dori. down

One side of the facade, a glass panel that slightly changed angles reflects light, reflects the surrounding buildings interestingly and shines, sparklingshine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Ginza's unique building is deep and not like this yet, but anyway, in this season, the street Marronnier is also full of fresh greenery every day, and walking itself is fun.happy01

Tsukiji River Park Late April Red and White Pears Flower

[Silver] April 27, 2011 08:30

 Last year, I reported on the plants at Tsukiji River Park, so this year, "Is it okay? "and"

I thought, but there was a great discovery.

 I thought the flowers of the pears were pink.

CIMG8344.jpg

 A lot of pure white flowers are blooming next to it. This was also a flower of pears.

Last year, I missed it. It is in full bloom as of April 25. Let's do it soon.
