Shintomibashi (Shintomibashi) is a bridge that crosses the Metropolitan Expressway along the narrow street connecting Ginza and Shintomi.

It is a bridge on the north side of Miyoshi Bridge facing the Chuo-ku government office.

It's the location on the map below.

Previously, I introduced a rose from "Kaedegawa Shintomibashi Park" on the south side of this bridge on this blog.

The Yoshino cherry tree in Hashizume, east and west of Shintomi Bridge, is in full bloom.

This bridge was close to Kyobashi Park, and when I went to lunch, there were many people taking pictures of cherry blossoms in full bloom at Kyobashi Park and Shintomi Hashizume, and it was quite lively.

A while after Yoshino cherry tree is over, large roses in Shintomibashi Park begin to bloom.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom as soon as possible. Please take a look at the spring of Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Light up of Edo Sakura-dori St. between Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building.

It's the street of Choredo Muromachi.

Kyobashi Park is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a municipal park next to Kyobashi Plaza, a ward inhabitant hall in Chuo-ku.

It is not so far from Showa-dori, but it is a quiet and calm park.

It may be because the whole park is surrounded by large trees of platanus and ginkgo.

Here, Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom now.

Here, there used to be Kyobashi Elementary School, and even after the elementary school was no longer integrated, the park that was attached was left.

In the corner of the building of Kyobashi Plaza, a part of the "staircase pillar beside the workshop" of the former Kyobashi Elementary School is left as a memorial.

In the park, there are also flowers of Benikobushi.

Ginza Sakura-dori St. is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a literal row of cherry blossom trees extending east and west along the Metropolitan Expressway.

This street is not as crowded as the main street in Ginza, but it is a fun street with antenna shops in Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures, as well as delicious bread shops.

Yoshino cherry tree is now in full bloom on this street.

However, what is often planted on this street is a variety called "Kanzan" of Yaezakura, which blooms later than Yoshino cherry tree.

Kanzan is Yaezakura, which blooms from mid-April to early May, and the colors of flowers and buds are darker than Yoshino cherry tree.

It seems that if there are many petals, it will exceed 50.

It seems that the flower has a long period of time, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

From Sotobori-dori St. side, walk along this Ginza Sakura-dori St. and reach Chuo-dori Street, you will reach the intersection of Ginza Street Exit right next to Kyobashi.

At the main pillar of Kyobashi, "Yaebenishidarezakura" is planted, and this is also currently blooming.

This is a little darker pink yaezakura than Yoshino cherry tree, and it is very beautiful with yellow green leaves of young leaves.

　This year, the kind of Hana peach "Genpei Momo", which has been improved for ornamental use, has been planted in the plaza in front of Aioi Bridge Minamizume, a complex at the southern end of Ishikawajima Park, blooms wonderfully.

The origin of the naming is that red and white (in addition, light red, spots / squeezing) blooms on a single tree, and the color of the Heike flag "Red" and the color of the Genji flag "White" fought in a mixed battle. It is said to have been parable in the Battle of Genpei.

It is said that the proportion of red, white, light red, spot and aperture flowers bloom in different aspects every year, and it is a natural phenomenon rich in mystery. Genpei peach with a glossy flower shape that shines in the deep blue sky and is a bit different from cherry blossoms. The season is full of spring.

It is a season when the red color of the sprout of Benikamochi is beautiful.

Every year, in the same season as the flowering of Yoshino cherry tree in spring, beautiful red color flutters in the wind.

Benikanamochi is a variant of Kanamemochi, and the sprout of Kanamemochi itself is red, so it seems that it is easy to get confused, but among Kanamemochi, those with a particularly strong red sprout are distinguished as Benikanamochi.

The photo was taken behind the Chuo-ku government office, or on the fence surrounding the front yard of the Kyobashi Library.

This is also planted on the opposite side of the Metropolitan Expressway, which runs beside the Chuo-ku government office (Ginza Blossom side).

Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom at once.

The background is the Yoshino cherry tree of Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park.
