 The Port of Tokyo opened as an international trading port on May 20, 1941.

"Tokyo Minato matsuri" celebrates the opening of the port, and various events are held on Saturdays and Sundays around May 20 every year with the Harumi Passenger Terminal as the main venue.

This year, the 66th anniversary, was held for two days on May 24 and 25.

At the venue

①PR corner of an organization related to Tokyo Port entitled "Look! Touch! Tokyo Port"

②"Firefighting Pageant of Water" by Tokyo Fire Department

③Open to the public of rare ships "Akihiro", "Umiryu" and "Umitakamaru"

④The public release of the fire boat "Miyakodori"

⑤Port stage traction

There are plenty of events.

The Port of Tokyo has port facilities that support the lives and industry of 40 million people in the Tokyo metropolitan area, while the coastal area has a wonderful view of the waterside city.

There are so-called "restaurant boat" operating at Tokyo Port and mini-tours to enjoy Tokyo Port from both the sea and land by taking a bus that goes around the viewpoints of Tokyo Port, and this time we will introduce "land" edition.

The course is Harumi venue-Tokyo Gate Bridge (vehicle window)-Aoumi Minami Wharf Park (get off: about 20 minutes)-Rainbow Bridge (vehicle window)-Shibaura Minami Wharf Park (get off: about 15 minutes)-Harumi venue.

It takes about 2 hours.

It was operated four times in the morning and afternoon on both days, but I heard that there were about four times the application.

Although the weather was fine on the first day, the sky was slightly hazy and the view was somewhat difficult, but you can enjoy the view at the viewpoint and get a glimpse of the aspect of modern ports being created as a system with various functions. Was.

On this day, the "Firefighting Pageant of Water" is also looking away from the opposite bank during the tour.

　The 66th Tokyo Minato Festival was held, and I enjoyed watching it on May 24 (Saturday).

On the day, it was called "2014 Water Fire Service Pageant" by the Tokyo Fire Department.

Beginning with a parade of Nihonbashi and Kyobashi firefighting boys, color girls, and music bands, there were opening greetings and guest congratulations.

The highlight is the “napping water discharge” that showcases the daily training of the Tokyo Fire Department.

"Firefighting performance." It was a very nervous scene of rescueing a person who fell from the ship and transporting it to a fire boat.

"High-speed fire brigade performance." No, it rushes to the scene at a great speed.

And it is a five-color color water discharge to celebrate the bid decision of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020.

Harumi Wharf is scheduled for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020 Olympic Village. I'm really looking forward to it.

The children who visited also seemed very happy at the fun event.

　This "Yuru-chara" is the mascot of the Japan Coast Guard. What's the name?　Here's the answer.

There were a lot of local gourmet restaurants, all of which seemed to be delicious.

　I wanted to buy Ghana beer, "Yashi Sake", and cacao liqueur, but I put up with it in preparation for the city walk from noon. Here, Quiz

"What if" in the sea ... The answer is 118. I thank the Japan Coast Guard and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency for their hard work to prevent marine accidents and rescue them.

 The water terrace at the bottom of Ishikawajima Park is full of jogging, walking, and dog walks.

During this season, at low tide, if you look closely at the rocky shores of the water, you can see ruddy turnstone (ruddy turnstone) moving around and foraging.

The origin of the Japanese name is that the summer feathers with a flashy reddish brown and black (like a triple cat) pattern on the back and wings are regarded as Kyoto's kimono.

♂In summer feathers, the white and black vertical spots at the top of the head are clear, and the reddish brown part on the upper surface of the body is vivid and has strong redness.

♀In summer feathers, the upper part of the head is mixed with grayish-brown, and the reddish-brown part on the upper surface of the body is smaller than mm and has weak redness.

(By the way, winter feathers are black-brown on the head and the upper surface of the body, have a reddish color, and have a plain color.)

It breeds in the Tundra area in northern Eurasia and northern America in summer, and is said to winter over the coasts of South Asia, Africa, Central and South America and Oceania in winter. In Japan, as a traveling bird, it flies as a relay point mainly in spring, mainly in May, and autumn mainly in September, and is observed in tidal flats, coasts, paddy fields, etc.

The total length is about 22cm.

A sloppy body shape.

Black and short beak.

Orange legs.

The squeal is "Geregret."

When flying, the white part of the wings, waist and tail stands out.

In addition to surface foraging, it seems to catch small animals lurking underneath by turning or shifting pebbles, earth lumps, shells, and seaweed lumps with beaks.

The English name (Ruddy) Turnstone is associated with foraging habits.

If you have the opportunity to go to the waterside of tidal flats and reefs during this season, be careful and look for it.

You may be able to meet an unusual, small "Kyojo"!

 

 

 

 

 

        

 

 At this time, every time you pass through Tsukuda Park, you often see a few nagas flocked, singing with a slightly hoarse voice, such as "Ge", "Ge", and "Ge", and flying around.

(It is said that in the spring, it is also observed that they screamed with an adorable voice such as "Kuriri ...")

This time, I found pom, which I thought was the turn.

Apparently, May-July seems to be the breeding season.

As the name comes from, Onaga has a long tail feather, a smart body shape, and a neat feather color, but surprisingly a resident bird belonging to the crow family.

It is also interesting that the distribution area of Onaga is considered to be two distant regions (enclave distribution) at both east and west ends of the Eurasian Continent.

In Japan, it is currently inhabited locally north of central Honshu and is very common in the Kanto region, but it is said that there are many places where this species is not distributed in neighboring areas.

They live in mountains, villages, green areas, parks, etc., act in flocks, and feed is considered omnivorous.

The body length is 34-39cm, the tail feather is 20-30cm, and the head and body are large starlings.

Black as if you were wearing a hood completely from the tip to the back of the head.

It is grayish white from the neck, throat to the chest.

The wings and tail feathers are blue-gray, the back is pale grayish brown, and the same sex color.

When flying, the long tail stands out well, and it looks more gliding than flying.

In addition, like other birds of the Crow family, they have high learning ability and are very cautious.

In addition, it has been reported that they are often nested in cuckoos.

 

 

A pleasant season with refreshing sunny weather from morning and not high humidity. At that time, I went out to walk along the Sumida River.

　

There are bridges with various characteristics on the Sumida River flowing through the middle of Chuo-ku and its surroundings, and it is quite good to walk upstream along the Sumida River Terrace while watching them one by one.

　

The starting point is near the mouth of the Sumida River, a bridge under construction that connects the Kachidoki area and the Tsukiji area as Loop Route 2. The day was only on both banks, but at a later date the "peace" in the middle was put on, and the bridge finally took place!

　　

 

Next is Kachidokibashi. It's a movable bridge (Futaba Jumping Bridge) that was built in 1940. It is said that it has not been opened or closed....。

 

As you follow Nishinaka-dori, "Nishinakabashi" was recently rebuilt beautifully. You can also meet the sight of a houseboat waiting for the turn moored.

 

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is located near Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine (Tsukuda 1-14), a local guardian god. This bridge was built in place of the ferry "Tsukuda's ferry" that started in 1645.

Also, it would be nice to see "Tsukuda Kobashi" from near the base of this bridge. The high-rise apartments towering in the back of the scenery since ancient times are also superb.

 

When you take a walk around this area, you will always come to Tenan (Tsukuda 1-3-14), a long-established store of Tsukudani-ya, but since you hurry ahead, you will pass in front of the shop on this day I did it. Actually, the reservation time for "Shanghai Dining" (Tsukuda 2-1-13) along Chuo-ohashi Bridge was barely reached. The Chuo-ohashi Bridge seen from the terrace seats of this shop can be very powerful.

　

 

After the meal, cross the Chuo-ohashi Bridge and start walking on the left terrace in the direction of travel.

"Eitai Bridge" is a bridge built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa. However, the current bridge is from 1926. There seem to be various theories about the origin of this bridge, such as "I hope the Tokugawa Shogunate will continue for generations for many years."

 

Toyomi Bridge is a bridge that spans the Nihonbashi River, which is separated from the Sumida River. It's a unique shape like a ladder lying down. I also have a dog from my home with walking.

 

"Sumida River Ohashi" is a two-story building with the Metropolitan Expressway and a general road. In terms of design, it emphasizes function only (?) It's a bridge. On the other hand, the next "Kiyosu Bridge" has a beautiful form. I'll try to change the taste of the picture.

　

 

"Shin-ohashi Bridge" is a bridge that survived the fall and saved many lives during the Great Kanto Earthquake. I wonder if the color of the stole is unique.

 

And the goal of this day is "Ryogoku Bridge". The performance of the brass band club, which was heard from nearby Nihonbashi Junior High School, was also felt as a reward for walking.

Thank you very much.
