It is a municipal park right next to Ginza 5-chome, Sukiyabashi intersection.

It is said that there was Sukiya Bridge, which was built for the first time in Edo Castle during the Edo period, and a stone monument to prove it stands.

It has been renewed at the same time as Tokyu Plaza Ginza, which opened in 2016, and has become an oasis-like entity in Ginza.

Now there are no blooming flowers and deciduous tree drops leaves and plants look lonely, but there is a lit-up tower behind the park.

"Young Clock Tower" by Taro Okamoto.

The building seen behind the tower is Yasuaki Elementary School.

On the front of the stone monument facing Harumi-dori St. in this park, there is an inscription of "Sukiyabashi here" by playwright and lyricist Kazuo Kikuta, and on the back, the history of Sukiyabashi is described.

Now, if you say "Your name", it is an anime (released in 2016, a feature-length animated movie directed by Makoto Shinkai), but the original () "Your name" was broadcast in the 1950s () NHK radio drama, and at that time it dominated the world.

It is Sukiyabashi that appears in important scenes (passing, reunion) in the original "Your name is" (written by Kazuo Kikuta).

It seems that there is a legend that the public bath has become empty during broadcast time.

The park that drinks in Ginza on a winter night and passes on the way to Yurakucho Station feels good.

 

 

　While the highest temperature during the day is around 10 ° C and the cold days continue, and the number of flowers in Tsukuda Park is limited, one of the flowers that bloom dignifiedly under the clear and soft sunlight is narcissus (Nihonjin narcissus) .

Narcissus is a perennial plant of the family Amaryllidaceae.

Generally speaking, narcissus is often referred to as "Japanese narcissus", but it is also used as a general term for the genus narcissus.

Flower coats (petals and retorts) are three petals inside and three lookouts outside.

Among the trumpets, large cups, small cups, double-flowered, Busasaki, Japanese narcissus came from the Mediterranean region of origin through Silk Road and China, and became wild. The outer flower cover is white, the cylindrical side corolla in the middle is a yellow cup-shaped small wheel.

It is characterized by a refreshing floral green scent in the clear and neat sweetness, and the tranquil aroma feels at ease.

 

 

　On January 21, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported "Plum Flowering", one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information.

5 days earlier than normal and 2 days later than last year.

The flowering of Bairin in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has not yet been heard, but the early blooming "Yae Kanku", which is planted between the former Inao Shrine and the flower garden, is beginning to bloom.

The middle ring of the double-flowered, which is said to be one of the "Noume" varieties that bloom during the cold season, is dark pink.

On this day, the wind from the north blows in the city center, and the temperature at noon is 9.1 ° C, giving a sweet scent in the cold of midwinter, and the dignified flower appearance is impressive.

The flower garden canola flower was covered with a net and is still curing, but its height grew considerably, the yellow flower color became conspicuous, shining in the blue sky of the background, and began to be colored in a spring-like color scheme.

It makes me realize that spring is steadily approaching.

 

 

The Sumida River Ohashi is the only two-tiered bridge that spans the Sumida River. The upper part is the Metropolitan Expressway, and the lower part is a functional bridge with general roads and sidewalks. I have been asked for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

　　

　

My personal impression is that the whole view of the bridge is not very distinctive, but from this bridge you can see the contrasting bridges of both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

　　

<< << Eitai Bridge This is a previous photo and is currently under construction. >>>>

　

　

<<<<<<I am currently under construction at Kiyosu Bridge here.　>>>>

　

Looking at the structural point, it is supported separately from the part that supports the lower bridge girder and the upper part.

　

<<<< the pier supporting the bridge girder >>>>

　

<<<<<<< Supports the Metropolitan Expressway above >>>>>

　

<<<<<<<<< This part does not support the general road below) >>>>>

　

　

　

Looking at the upper section of the capital highway Hakozaki direction, not only the two steps but also another further above, and the Hakozaki Junction looks like a maze.

　

<<<<<<< In this part, it is even more above >>>>

　

<<If you look at the direction of Hakozaki Junction, the Metropolitan Expressway is like a maze and is exactly necessary.>>>

　

<<<<<<This seismic reinforcement was not available before. >>>>

　

　

As you can see not only on the bridge but also on the bottom, there are facilities that support social infrastructure.

　

　

 

 

　A pre-event to enjoy the atmosphere of "NAGANO WINE FES in Tokyo" was held at the 2nd floor event space of Ginza NAGANO (Ginza 5) on January 16, at the Imperial Hotel on February 3, where about 30 companies from long-established wineries from all over Nagano Prefecture to new wineries come together.

　In the background of the moored houseboat, the "Tomin Bird" Yurikamome rests its wings on the railing of the waterside green road "Tsukishimakawa Green Promenade" along the Tsukishima River.

I feel comfortable in the soft sunlight of winter.

At first glance, they are aligned in the same direction, and at first glance every individual looks the same, but if you look closely, each face, physique, expression, and gesture seem to be slightly different.

White turtles are said to account for the majority of seagull species that come to Japan as winter birds.

The feet and beak are red (black at the tip of the beak), the winter feather has a white head, the iris is black, the surrounding area has a white eye ring, and the dark spots behind the eyes are clear, and the black eyes are charming. I have a face.

Like other seagulls, it is omnivorous and eats small fish and aquatic insects.
