From Ginza, go south on Harumi-dori St.

　If you go further from Harumi Island Triton Square, you will find Harumi Ohashi.

If you look up the sidewalk from the right side of the bridge and look on the right side, you can see the Suzue Gumi Warehouses beyond the grass.

　Until recently, there were a lot of transportation cars coming and going, but now it's quiet.

　Night walks are a little scary because there is no traffic.

I'm pointing my smartphone lens to take a picture, but it's too huge and doesn't seem to fit into the subject.

There are entrances on each floor, which reminds you when many people were entering and exiting this warehouse group.

　This precious warehouse group that retains the remnants of Showa. The site area is also large.

What will happen in the future?

　It was sunny today and beautifully towering against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

It is a perennial plant of the family Asteraceae.

It is native to North America and becomes a naturalized plant (naturalized species) in Japan.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, the Olympic color shines in the night sky, increasing expectations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which gradually approaches.

dogwood on Matsuya Street has bright red fruits.

dogwood (Hanamizu tree) is a deciduous Takagi of the Japanese dogwood subgenus, and is a representative flowering tree in the United States.

In 1912, Tokyo City at that time presented cherry blossoms to the United States, and in return, white flowers were donated by the United States in 1915, when dogwood came to Japan.

Because it is durable and easy to grow, it is now widely used in house symbol trees and street trees.

As a street tree in Chuo-ku, 434 trees are managed in dogwood (as of May 8, 2017).

Flowers bloom from late April to early May, but what looks like these petals is exactly "leaf" called bracts (ho).

In this season, shiny small elliptical fruits (complete fruits) ripen red and are very beautiful.

After this, the leaves turn red in late autumn and fall in winter.
