　It's a photo that doesn't look different, but it's a record of the old man's diary. (Photos were taken on April 6 from 15:30 to 17:00)

　I'm sad when I wonder how many more times I can see the cherry blossoms, but last night I saw a talk between Toko Shinoda and Shigeaki Hinohara on TV, and Shinoda's words left an impression.

It's already the cherry blossom season.

Cherry blossoms are blooming from Aioi Bridge to Tsukuda River City 21, Paris Square, and Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

There are many cherry blossom viewing visitors.

As of April 4, it was still a bit cold, so I felt it would be in full bloom.

　　

From Tsukuda River City, you can also see Eitai Bridge and the Tokyo Sky Tree.

Also, there are many cherry blossoms near Chuo-ohashi Bridge, so it is recommended.

The view of the Sumida River terrace in Shinkawa from Paris Square is also nice.

Tsukuda Park also has many cherry blossoms, seasonal flowers and trees, and plants, so you can stroll along the river.

It is also located behind Tsukuda Elementary School and Tsukuda Junior High School on the opposite side of River City 21.

Cherry blossoms are also located in the nearby Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, so I think it's a good walking course.

　In 1999 (1999), "Paris Square" was built in the area of River City 21.

　From Paris Square, you can see the Eitai Bridge, the Tokyo Sky Tree and the Sumida River Terrace in Shinkawa.

 Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is a historic cherry blossom spot where many guests were welcomed as a separate residence for the Shogun family during the Edo period and as a detached palace for the Imperial Family during the Meiji period, and a cherry blossom viewing party was held.

This year, there is a phenomenon in which the temperature drops after the flowers bloom, and even after the declaration of full bloom on March 31, the flowers last for a long time, and even today on April 6, when it was blessed with fine weather for the first time in a long time It shows a glossy flower figure.

I hear that about 100 cherry trees are planted in the park, but about 10 of them are in Yoshino cherry tree.

It can be enjoyed mainly near "Minaka no Gomon" and beside "Nakano Bridge".

From the middle of this month onward, the so-called "Yae-zakura", which is mainly planted on the lakeside from the "Oden Bridge" in the "Tide-filled Pond" to the "Ute-Oden Bridge", will be at its best.

It is gorgeous that the petals are folded over and full of volume like bells, and it is different from Yoshino cherry tree.

A surreal green space unique to the city center that is integrated with the skyscrapers of Shiodome Shiodome Shiosite behind.

At this time, pale pink accents create a gorgeous landscape.

You can't miss the gradation of pink flowers and trees in Hanakien.

 

 

Hana peaches planted in river’s edge, where the Tsukiji River (now reclaimed and now the exit of the Metropolitan Expressway) flows, just above Shintomicho Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, are in full bloom.

 

Hana Momo is a cold-resistant deciduous shrub belonging to the family Rosaceae, characterized by clear colored flowers.

It is a peach that has been improved to appreciate the flowers, and it is actually small and unsuitable for food.

 

Hana peaches planted on the Tsukiji side, not on the Shintomi side, between Tsukijibashi and Irifunebashi, are broom-standing and bloom red, pink and white flowers.

 

Hana peach here is thought to be "Terute peach" in terms of varieties.

 

You can see well from the top of Tsukijibashi and Irifunebashi, so please look at Hana Momo in full bloom.

The map below is the red frame location between Tsukijibashi and Irifunebashi.

 

 

 

　It's wind on all sides.

Posting for the second year of correspondent will begin with the topic of the Nihonbashi Festival just like last year.

　Fortunately, the cherry blossoms that have been enjoyed for a long time since the flowering declaration were in full bloom, and the 23rd spring famous bridge "Nihonbashi" festival was held on the 3rd.

Unfortunately, it was raining like last year. The highway has played the role of an umbrella again.

Today's Ishibashi celebrates its 105th anniversary and is not only a symbol of Chuo-ku, but also literally the origin of Japanese bridges, and it is about 140,000 km to Turkey.

It is also the original sign of the Asia Highway that extends to Japan.

In line with the festival, Hashigami, where cars come and go on a daily basis, was closed, and I was able to see the "Japan Road Mark" plate below.

As an event of this day, where famous cars of the past ran on many roads and accumulated history, the gathering on the bridge greatly excites the place.

Thank you very much. (From 9 o'clock, the entire company is lined up under the cherry blossoms at Edo Sakura-dori St. in front of the main building of the Bank of Japan, and the red Porsche, which was the car of the late Ken Takakura's favorite car.

It was one of them.

The bridge spans the river. Nihonbashi docks have been built on the Nihonbashi River, and the number of people enjoying cruising is increasing. I, too, last year

He was one of the people who enjoyed the fun.

Mr. Nakamura, Chairman of the Nihonbashi Preservation Society, also talked about the opening of the festival, but on March 30, the number of users reached 300,000.

That's right. Looking at Nihonbashi from the ship may be a step toward increasing the number of supporters approaching the realization of "blue sky in Nihonbashi and light in Nihonbashi River".

　Muromachi Sakura Festival street decoration

Chuo-ku is said to be a waterside city. In the ward where there is no difference in height, there are still rivers,

It was the Nihonbashi Festival that I wanted to take a walk again, imagining those that existed not only for bridges but also for them.
