Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is located between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Kachidokibashi.

The bridge itself is a design that emphasizes functionality.

The sidewalk on the north side (upstream of Sumida River, Chuo-ohashi Bridge side) is only pedestrians.

You can walk slowly while enjoying the scenery without worrying about your bicycle.

Every time I pass the bridge, I'm looking forward to it.

There is a point where you can see the Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower at the same time.

You can see Tokyo Tower from the twin towers of St. Luke's.

It is about 50 steps from the Tsukishima side.

Everyone, please try it.

We have received a letter from our readers.

-------------------------------------------

Thank you for your letter, Mr. Ginzo.

After the earthquake, when you returned home, Mr. Ginzo used the "Edo Bus".

　But at this time when aftershock continues today, whether you can walk home will separate the light and dark.

　I registered it as a favorite.

I'm going to eat curry for 700 yen at Senbikiya Sohonten in Nihonbashi ... I'll go there again."　

As soon as the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were in full bloom, the spring breeze and rain were blowing.

But the flowers that had just opened were stepping on the branches and clung to the branches.

And on Sunday, a calm day, many cherry blossom visitors came to Tsukuda Park-Paris Square.

Comparing Tsukuda Park and Paris Square, the difference in the time when it was developed is reflected in the size of the cherry tree.

Of the many types of cherry blossoms, I like Oshima cherry blossoms with white flowers and refreshing green leaves.

Usually, cherry blossoms are often viewed from below or viewed from a distance, but when viewed from above, Hanabusa looks like a loose ring and shows a different expression (the photo shows Tsukuda Park cherry blossoms)  

Come on! The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are finally approaching full bloom. Today (April 6) is fine from morning. Then, I'm excited to see the cherry blossoms in Chuo-ku.

First of all, Hamacho Park on the banks of Sumida River and at the side of Shinohashi. A bird's-eye view of the park as if you look down from the embankment of the Sumida River, you can see a whole cherry blossom sea. In the soft sunlight of spring, haze or clouds are in full bloom.

After this, we went to a row of cherry blossom trees on the Hamacho Green Road. The cherry blossoms in full bloom are in full bloom. 

And the cherry blossoms on Ningyocho Street are almost in full bloom. The cherry blossoms beside the clock tower on the street are in full bloom. The street, which is usually crowded with the cherry blossom festival in Ningyocho, has reached a quiet cherry blossom season this year.

Well, where shall we go next? Well, let's go to Tsukuda again!
The row of cherry blossom trees at Tsukuda River City 21, which had not yet been in full bloom on the 4th the other day, is a gorgeous appearance. Akashi on the opposite bank and the cherry blossoms on the banks of the Hatchobori side seem to be in full bloom.

If this weather continues, the cherry blossoms in Chuo-ku will be the best to see on Saturday, April 9 and 10 (Sun) on the weekend.

In the midst of the bright spring sunshine, the water surface of the Sumida River shines brilliantly, and the row of cherry blossom trees on the riverbank shows a light color. Here, the row of cherry blossom trees on the banks of Tsukuda Park in Ishikawajima is still blooming for three minutes, but within a few days, the world of spring full of flowers, reminiscent of the clouds of flowers will make us enjoy.

Here are some of the spring scenery I found on the island of Tsukuda. There is no famous cherry blossom spot on the island of Tsukuda, but on the grounds of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, the guardian of Tsukuda, the stunning "weeping cherry tree" is now in full bloom to enjoy spring.
The grounds, which are sparse for visitors, have a quiet appearance isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the beautiful appearance of weeping cherry tree swaying in the river breeze of the Sumida River, is exceptional.

In the cherry blossom season we visit every year, we have accepted the big pageant of spring created by nature as a proof of the changing seasons without hesitation. However, nature sometimes gives us unimaginable harsh trials. This year's cherry blossoms don't feel like the "nature" that caused the Great East Japan Earthquake gave us a gift to the Japanese to destroy the sins.

In April 2006, the land behind the revetment of Tsukuda 3-chome was maintained in front of the Aioi Bridge Minami complex `` Aioi no Sato '', and in April 2007 it was connected to the terrace of the upstream park and expanded. Was.

"Hana Momo <Genpei Momo>" planted in the square in front of "Aioi no Sato" blooms.

It is said that red and white (in addition, light red and middle squeezing) flowers are bloomed in a deciduous shrub of the rose family that has been improved for ornamental use, compared to the flag color of Genji and Taira.

Depending on the climate and year, red, light red, white, and spot patterns are not constant, and they do not necessarily bloom every year, and there are irregularities and uncertainties. Please enjoy the gorgeous flower figure of double with mystery.
