You can see Tsukiji Market from the Sumida River Terrace Kachidoki side between Tsukiji Ohashi and Kachidokibashi.

　

<<<<Look at Tsukiji Market from the Kachidoki side　>>>>>

(Because Tsukiji Ohashi is not in service yet, Kachidokibashi is the first bridge of the Sumida River.)

　

It seems that the market relocation was decided in October this year, so we can see the market from here in the second half of the year.

　

　　

<<<<<<<<<<Toyosu Market to which the relocation destination is located) >>>>>>

　

　

　

The place where the skyscraper behind the market is Shiodome, which used to be the Japan National Railways Freight Station.

A service line was laid from the Japan National Railways Freight Station (Shiodome Station) to the market (Tokyo Ichiba Station).

Shiodome Station of the Japanese National Railways has changed its name to Shimbashi Station, a railway starting station from Japan, but it is Shiodome Station.

　

　

<<<< Platform　

You can see that it is curved.　There is also a column number left. >>>>

　

　

That's why there is still a platform where wagons stop, and the outer circumference of the market is fan-shaped.

　

　

　

You can see Tokyo Tower in the center of the photo, but the building is under construction in the foreground and gradually disappears.

From the Sumida River Terrace, this scenery (Tokyo Tower and Tsukiji Market) will change a lot in about six months.

 

 

Riku plum has begun to bloom.

　

The words of flowers are "constant beauty" and "elegance".

With a modest feeling, elegant flowers are not too assertive.
It seems to be used as a tea flower.

　For this reason, the word "Rikyu plum" may be applied.
Since it is a flower that came to Japan during the Meiji era, what is the tea master Sen no Rikyu?
It doesn't seem to have anything to do.

　

　The buds and flowering are about the same.
The contrast between fresh green leaves and white flowers is good.
It gives you a refreshing impression.

　　　　

　In Rikyu's words, "flowers are in the field."

　　　　

It is beautiful as it is natural and expresses the sense of the current season.
It's a perfect flower.

　On March 26, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced that one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information, "Flowing of Shirotsumegusa" (Kitanomaru-koen Park), was observed (Kitanomaru-koen Park). The white gusa at the inner moat plaza in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has also begun to bloom.

Also known as clover.

The name "Tsukusa" is said to be due to the use of hay of this plant as a buffer for boxed glass products imported from the Netherlands to Nagasaki during the Edo period. Sometimes there are 4 small leaves or more than that, and the 4 small leaves equivalent to the mutant are rare, and if you find it, good luck comes to those who find it. The flower is a white butterfly-shaped raceme, which is densely populated at the top of the flower pattern. If you look closely inside, it is also pinkish in the white. During this time, if you lie down on the lush grass that has sprouted, you will be comfortable and healed by the faint green scent.

 

 

Marronnier on Ginza Marronnier Street has begun to bloom.

A cheerful day reminiscent of early summer continues, and flowers are beginning to open at a stretch.

It is characterized by a large conical inflorescence at the tip of the branch.

It's a dark pink flower

Marronnier is characterized not only by flowers but also by leaves, with 5 to 7 palm-shaped compound leaves, like hands.

I wrote in the article about the flowering of "Hitotsubatago" on Miyuki Street, which I introduced the other day, but this year, the flowering time is quite different even for the same kind of flowering trees, probably because the weather was irregular from winter to early spring. I feel like

It's dogwood on Kibikicho Street.

Even if you say Kibikicho Street, it is dogwood on the street beside Kabukiza Theater.

The white and pink of dogwood shine in the clear May sky, right?

This is the blooming dogwood on Matsuya Street.

The dogwood on Matsuya Street has branches on the side, so the whole street becomes gorgeous when full bloom.

The flower of dogwood is not the so-called petals, but the leaf called bracts, and the center mass is the real flower (inflorescence).

As for the actual flowers, inconspicuous flowers with a diameter of about 5mm with a diameter of 4 petals gather and bloom sequentially.

　After the middle of April, white neat and refreshing flowers, "Onebatago", commonly known as "Nanja Monja", began to bloom on Miyuki Street in Ginza.

The photo was taken at the intersection where the sun shines from Sotobori-dori St. to Ginza Six.

　

　Because there are individual differences, not all are blooming. When going out for shopping or eating, if you can look at the plants for a little bit.

A neat flower may return a smile.
