Follow Kiyosumi-dori from Tsukishima toward Kachidoki and enter the side of Tsukishima Police Station to see [Toyomi Sports Park].            This area used to be close to [Toyomi Fisheries Wharf] and there were many fisheries-related facilities and warehouses, but recently it has become a residential area such as condominiums.house

In a quiet environment along the canal, it is a place where plants and lawns spread, but it is a place of peace.

An explanatory version marked "The origin of the stone" is installed beside the stone curb. It used to be on the Nihonbashi River.club  201011 Autumn leaves of Toyomi. jpg

The park also has day campsites and tennis courts where you can enjoy barbecues. On a clear day, you can see the Rainbow Bridge beyond the canal and enjoy a pleasant sea view.

The autumn leaves have just begun. On this day, there were also families playing in the refreshing air.
How about strolling around Chuo-ku waterfront?

[Sam] Nov. 26, 2010 10:00

RIMG1554S.JPG A unique Christmas illumination on the theme of the sea and dolphins is being held at Triton Square in Harumi from November 24 to December 25.

A gorgeous and fantastic illumination based on "blue" that represents the sea, with the theme of the image of the ocean blue ocean and the dynamism of dolphins proclaiming "Shiny Blue Christmas" centered on the "water terrace".

A group of four dolphins emerges with illuminations on the small pool against the backdrop of the illuminations of the waves, and the surrounding tree illuminations sparkle like underwater corals. The circle on the water terrace is filled with blue and white light, and the "dolphins of light" irradiated by moving lights swim around the feet and walls.

Tsukudatendaiko Ikuchizoson and Daiginko

[Yurikamome] Nov. 21, 2010 10:17

A 3-minute walk from Tsukishima Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Toei Oedo Line, a large ginkgo tree extends from the roof to the heavens. It's very close to Tsukuda Nami-Inari.

 It is reported that Ueno Kanei-ji Temple and Sutokuin Shrine, who lived in the middle of the Edo period, worshiped the Jizo Bodhisattva deeply and drew the statue of Jizo himself and encouraged the construction of Jizo at temples in Edo Prefecture.

It's the appearance of guardian of children and travelers indoors.

I brought my hand to the main god and took a picture.

It's Jizo Bodhisattva.

 There is a ginkgo tree trunk in the back, and in front of it, there is such a big two.

This ginkgo tree goes out over the roof and grows greatly.

It seems that there was a story about the inhabitants' tangible cultural property ..., but he declined to grow up with everyone in the local nature.

So there is no detailed information about "Ginkgo".

I looked up from the gap and took a picture.

From Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Eitai Bridge, Sky Tree

[Yurikamome] Nov. 19, 2010 12:30

 Last time, I took pictures of Eitai Bridge and Sky Tree from Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but this time I took pictures of Eitai Bridge and Sky Tree beyond Chuo-ohashi Bridge from Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

Find the Eitai Bridge, too ...

I forget the hot summer in winter and forget the hot summer, and the stable Koharu weather makes me want to walk in Chuo-ku.

Harumi Triton <News from Autumn>

[Sam] November 11, 2010 11:00

  Japanese white oak (actual) (2) SRS.JPG RIMG1161S.JPG It seems that autumn is gradually deepening. The "Natsuta" on the wall of the "Green Terrace" in Harumi Triton Square is also dyed bright red, giving you a sense of the beginning of winter preparations.

It's a bit different from the green season.

The various "autumn fruits" that decorate the vegetation also have a different charm from flowers.

This time, we will introduce <Autumn Fruit> from "Green Terrace", "Flower Terrace" and "North Triton Park" at Harumi Triton Square. (The upper right is Japanese white oak's "acorn")

 pencil Japanese horse chestnut (Azalea family): In autumn, small white flowers like Japanese andromeda bloom in clusters. At the same time, yellow-green fruits are attached, and it ripens red for almost a year from yellow to orange to red. The origin of the name seems to be that ripe fruits are similar to strawberries, but in fact they are similar to the nuts of Ningro Yamamo.

 

 

Okawabata's <Yurikamome>

[Sam] Nov. 5, 2010 10:00

RIMG0965S.JPG It is said that most of the small seagull species that come to Japan as winter birds are the plover seagull family.

As the temperature cooled down, the number has increased in Okawabata.

The legs and beaks are red. Summer feathers have a black-brown head, winter feathers have a white head, and black spots behind their eyes, and have a charming face. It is said that there is also a handy bird that shows ferocious enough to dispel other water birds, but it is lovely as far as you can see them dancing with their wings spread and resting their wings lined up on balustrades and fences.

The wings are the life of birds. The bird's feathers are very careful. Once you start it, you're doing it quite a bit.

pencil Be careful on the balustrade of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge! Please be careful about the feces of the black turtle around the streetlights. " Birds have one exit because the anus that emits manure and the fallopian tube stick in the body. There is no urethra and excretion of feces and urine together. It appears white due to the white crystals of uric acid as a nitrogen compound, which is the final product of protein metabolism.
