It bloomed early this year too

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] March 14, 2017 14:00

It bloomed early this year.

Every year, there is an early blooming cherry tree on Eitai Bridge Nishizume, and it is already blooming this year. It may be scattered by the time this prog is posted. The early blooming cherry blossoms are also on the Koto-ku side on the opposite side and bloom in the same way, but the branches seem to be better on the Chuo-ku side.

The Sumida River Terrace has been posted on my blog several times, but this area is especially recommended.

If you look at Eitai Bridge from behind Toyomi Bridge, you can see that Eitai Bridge is included in the picture frame as shown in the photo.

This area is also the birthplace of banks, which are indispensable for modern development. Hakozaki, which crossed Toyomi Bridge from the Eitai Bridge side, is the birthplace of the Bank of Japan. Right now it's a little hard to see due to construction, but there is a monument.

Going back the Nihonbashi River, which flows under the Toyomi Bridge, there is Armor Bridge, where the Tokyo Stock Exchange Co., Ltd. is located and is the economic center "Kabuto-cho".

Next, there is a plate of "Birthplace of Bank" in the vicinity of "Mizuho Bank Kabuto-cho Branch Wall".

Japan's first national bank, Daiichi Kunitachi Bank, was founded, and later became Imperial Bank, Daiichi Bank, and Daiichi Kangyo Bank, leading to the current Mizuho Bank.

It is also an important part of the economy.

 

By the way, return the story to the Sumida River, and go downstream to the Chuo-ohashi Bridge with a modern diagonal bridge structure.

View the Eitai Bridge from Chuo-ohashi Bridge in the background of the Sky Tree, this is also a recommended view book.
