　Have you had a cherry blossom viewing?

　This year there are many cloudy skies, so it is difficult to see cherry blossoms under the blue sky.

　Under such circumstances, it was light rain in the morning of April 4 yesterday, but the Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park, Paris Square

　When I took a walk,

　What a cute customer was coming.

　This is a couple of Indian spot-billed duck, a resident of Ukishima at the foot of Aioi Bridge.

　Indian spot-billed duck couples like the tranquility of raindrops coloring cherry blossoms~

　You can't stop taking a walk because there is a unique encounter on a rainy day.

　Everyone, please go out while paying attention to your feet.

　Tsukuda and Akashicho in 2016 also reached the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.　(Hereinafter, all shootings are April 4, from 15:30 to 16:30)

In the report that the cherry blossoms in Tokyo will be in full bloom on the 31st, the construction of the stairs at Tsukiji River Kameibashi Park was completed, and a gentle slope was completed.

At present, the place where the Chuo-ku government office and the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway beside the Tsukiji Police Station runs, where the river (canal) called the Tsukiji River flows in the past, and the Kamei Bridge was built adjacent to Kamei Bridge and its Kamei Bridge. Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park was built to cover the Metropolitan Expressway.

The slope is the red part of the map below.

In this park, there is a flower bed in perennial plant called Pele Near Garden in the central square, where you can usually see office workers eating and resting during lunch breaks.

The cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park are almost in full bloom.

From now on, many people will go up the newly completed slope and enjoy cherry blossom viewing at Kameibashi Park.

In spring, spring flowers begin to bloom all at once, especially cherry blossoms tend to attract attention, but during this season, we often see plants that are colored red like this in Chuo-ku.

It is a new shoot of Benikanamemochi (red bean)

The shooting location is the planting area (map below, red frame location) on the Ginza Blossom side between Miyoshi Bridge and Kamei Bridge, beside the Metropolitan Expressway.

Benika umemochi is an evergreen broad-leaved tree of the family Rosaceae, whose leaves turn red in early spring and turns green in winter.

Autumn leaves at the time of sprout seem to turn red with anthocyanins.

It is planted as garden hedges, street trees, and park trees, so please appreciate the autumn leaves in spring.

The photo above shows the autumn leaves of Benikanamochi at Kyobashi Library.
