　In spring, I looked at Harumi Wharf from Reimei Bridge and saw a large bridge beyond the observation tower.

Due to its huge size, tens of thousands of tons of ships can also be seen from the bridge here.

As we approached Bath, the arrowhead, the ship was a little taller, and the hull was shining in the morning light.

The pilot ship is desperately starting to moore. 

The name of the ship is "SILVER SHADOW".

 Bahama-registered cruise liner 28,000 tons Total length 182 m width 24.8 m7-layer structure 21 knots (1 knot speed 1852 m / h) Officer (advanced staff) has an Italian capacity of 382 people.

It's too large, so it doesn't fit into the lens, and it's slicing from behind.

It's in the middle of a fun feast for breakfast. In the cabin, there are still passengers who are still sleeping, and it is quite different from train trips.

　The wharf, which was usually quiet, was a welcome dora sounding from the morning, and the mood was excited by the performance of the drums.　

　The disembarkation scenery is a leisurely thing, boat time, everyone is acting calmly without hurry.　

　The welcoming people are relaxed, the atmosphere waiting for customers who don't know when they will come.

I feel like it.　　　　　

The amount of luggage for customers is also enormous, unlike airplanes with limited restrictions.　

It seems to be full of treasures

I don't seem to hurry at all while I'm on the bus.

 

　It's on the shore of the day, but many customers don't go sightseeing, but relax on board.

If you care about it, you may want to get off with your passport.　

 

　If you look at everyone who enjoys the voyage to the fullest, you can feel alone.

　　　I thought I wanted to have enough time, "Nonbili."

Everyone, on the way across the Reimei Bridge, occasionally remove the direction of the pier.　The ship waits for you

It might be.　

　

　　SILVER SHADOW    The front port is Osaka today at 6:00 p.m. and the next port is Hiroshima. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a time when there are many introductions to cherry blossoms, but please allow me to add another from the viewpoint of jogging lovers.

The Sumida River Terrace, the usual jogging course, gives you a special feeling of the year only during certain periods from March to April.

On this day, we started Eitai Bridge. On a sunny weekend morning, if you go along the Sumida River bank from the direction of Eitai Bridge to the area around Shinkawa, you will be greeted by the scenery that is always open, but at this time, gorgeousness will be added. The air is getting warmer and I feel spring on this day.

The road is like a cherry blossom corridor. It was such a moment that I couldn't say with beautiful or stunning expressions like the moon.

If you go straight, you will reach Chuo-ohashi Bridge. From this bridge, you can see the new Tokyo landmark, the Tokyo Sky Tree. It is a picture of a good balance with Eitai Bridge.

In the future, run along the bank of Tsukuda Island while looking at Eitai Bridge, pass through Paris Square and Aioi Bridge to Koto-ku once. This time we will have a look at Chuo-ku. Along the bank, head from Echinakajima Park to Eitai Bridge, and cross the bridge to return to the starting point.
This is a little more than 2 km. (In fact, there are not enough people to run with this alone, so I went up the Sumida River to Hamacho Park and enjoyed running cherry blossoms.)

I realized that the Sumida River, which has been popular with the common people since Edo, is an important element that composes the charm of Chuo-ku. Cherry blossoms, next year.

During this season, the existence of cherry blossoms is too strong and overwhelming, but the Sumida River Terrace is a safe and good jogging course (or promenade) where you can always enjoy the scenery.

 

 

 

　One thing that looks like it is now, and I can't find it is "clogsya-san".

　When you walk leisurely from Tsukishima Station on the Tsukishima Nishinaka Shopping Street, there is a shop that always greets you with a smile at the crossroads where the banners replace the fourth section.

Geta-san "Azumaya" has been protecting footwear noren for four generations since its founding.

 

　My husband, Kaichi Kusu and his wife's "Satchan" are.

The source of the smile of this store.

　For those who come and go, "It's a good weather," "Where ...?" "Thank you for yesterday. 。 "I'll tell you."

　The people who are called stop their feet, answer with a smile, and create the bustle of Tsukishima.

When asked about "clogs"
From the way of sticking, ... no, really scale ... See the photo.

 

　Don't put your toes into the back.　Put your clogs with your finger.　This is easy to walk and not tired. It seems that this can balance the clogs and feet.

　It is said that it will not be sold.
Look at the customer's feet and insert their thongs.

If you don't do that, the clogs will not fit into your feet.

I once remembered my grandparents' footwear. Seeing the nostalgic shape of (Satchan's) clogs, there is something personality, and also scales from eyes.

　You can feel the essence of this shop here and there. Advertisement for Kouta, Ukiyo-e, ...

"It's nice. 。 。」 He praised him, "I've cut the year's calendar. He answered with a laugh.

　The audience listening together also laughed. It may be because of the master's style that looks real.

 

　My husband said, "There is something I want you to see."

It is made of steel of age. It seems that you can work comfortably with this one. Now that these tools are scarce, they can't expect new ones.

　The shop also sells umbrellas. It's not an umbrella of 100 yen, but an expensive umbrella of 2,000 yen or more.

　The umbrella is also beautiful.

 　His wife, Satchan, enjoys his hobby in his spare time.　　He also goes out with clogs for rehearsals such as "Rakugo" appreciation and "Western Dance".

You can get a glimpse of the "Iki" of the downtown area.

 

This summer, the main festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, Tsukuda Island, worked hard for that day.

I'm going to prepare for the festival.　Both of them are looking forward to interacting with their children.

　

　On the way home, he asked his master, "How to make clogs last longer."

"Yes,"..."It's a hakanai."

 

　Everyone, if you hear the sound of "Karakoro" clogs on Tsukishima, "Azumaya" is very close.

From Tsukishima Station on the subway Oedo Line "Kachidoki" station to Nishinaka Shopping Street ... It is about a 5-minute walk.　　　 

 

 

　

 

 　

 

 

 

 

  As the fifth installment of "Ginza Flower Letters", which started in May 2011, Ginza Sony Building exhibited 2,200 colorful domestic carnations of 34 types (upper right photo) at the entrance hall on the 1st floor of the building, including 200 carnations produced in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, affected by Great East Japan Earthquake.

The theme is "The bond between mother and child."

Mother's Day is no good.

This year, Carnation will also play the role of a messenger that conveys the heart of "thank you".

 Ishikawajima Park extends along the Sumida River and Harumi Canal from Chuo-ohashi Bridge across Aioi Bridge. 

This year, probably due to the weather, the vegetation gradually blooms all at once, and it is just spring atmosphere.

Flower color competition of various rose family plants will delight your eyes.

Genpei peach (Genpei peach) is a flower peach that has been improved for ornamental use. One plant blooms red, white, light red, and squeezed flowers, and is glossy.

Some of the chrysanthemum peaches, a kind of dark pink flower peach with chrysanthemum-like flowers, have begun to bloom.

Invited by the soft sunlight, the appearance of people visiting for a walk is also noticeable.

Hakumokuren, Magnolia kobus, Shidekobushi, Tamushide ... pretty lily of the valley.

Before the glamorous Yoshino cherry tree is in full bloom, the pale and soft sunlight of spring gives a sense of the season.
