 The Sumida River diverts east at Tsukuda 2-chome, upstream of Chuo-ohashi Bridge at the mouth of the mouth, flows between Tsukuda 2.3-chome and 1.2-chome, Echinakajima Koto-ku, and is divided into east and west at Toyosu Saving Ground, respectively. It is connected to the Toyosu Canal and the Spring (Haru) shipping river.

During the development of the Okawabata River City, Ishikawajima Park, which was built along the Sumida River school river between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Aioi Bridge, was expanded and maintained to Aioi Bridge south in 2007.

With the adoption of Super dike, the green space, which has a hydrophilic nature so that it can interact with water, is popular as a place for local residents to relax, and is crowded with jogging and walking people.

On April 18, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced one of the biological seasonal observation information `` Shiba sprout '', but the lawn in the open open space is gradually becoming darker, young leaves of the trees sprout, and the refreshing season has reached. Was.

By the way, this year's germination is 11 days later than normal and 5 days later than last year.

If you look closely at your feet, the green area of the slope is full of wild flowers that you can feel spring.

You can also see starlings gathering around the ground, walking around the ground, and thumb.

The eastern part of Chuo-ku faces the Port of Tokyo, but you can see the seascape mainly in the Harumi area. In particular, the Harumi Wharf area is a place where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the harbor, with large ships often berthed in front of the Rainbow Bridge. In particular, the color of the mysterious sky when the sun begins to rise early in the morning, the twilight scene dyed in the sunset, and the night view where jewels sparkle are all at once.

The hotel [Mariners Court Tokyo], located close to Harumi Wharf, is a facility related to seafarers. When you enter the stylish lobby, you will see a model of a famous merchant ship from the past. You will be wrapped in a brave feeling that the breath of the men of the sea can be conveyed. In fact, meetings and parties for marine transportation are often held. It may be a valuable place where you can feel the atmosphere of a port town in the city center of Tokyo.

When you eat at the banquet hall of this hotel, you will notice that napkins are also broken in the shape of a boat. Right next to the sea, when you meet the shape of a boat, you will be somehow invited to travel, and you will feel a little as if you were eating in the dining room of a large passenger ship.

And most of all, the charm here is the view you can see through the window at night. Various lights shining in Tokyo Port will spread romantically. It's also great to spend a night of memories with your family and loved ones!

In fact, this hotel is also used for various meetings of local residents. Meetings and parties of town associations and residents' associations, launch of festivals, study sessions on politics and economy, etc. are often held. It seems that everyone is familiar as a stylish hotel that blends well into the area.

 

Also, I sometimes jog around here, but I often pass by foreign tourists.

This hotel, which is built as if to watch the future development of this area, where the Olympic Village of the Tokyo Olympics will be held, may attract some attention in the future.

I think there are many people who go out to Tsukishima to enjoy Monjayaki.

"Sumida River Terrace", which is close to Nishinaka-dori, commonly known as "Monja Street", has a very beautiful night view.

　　　　　　　　　　

　　

　　　

　　　　　　

There are a lot of people here and there. (Although only one ship is shown in the picture.)

You can also see St. Luke's Tower, River City 21 condominiums, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, and the Sky Tree in the distance.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The Tower of Grand Tokyo at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.

It's a building with pink lights in the middle. Do you know?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　

　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　

Kachidokibashi and Tokyo Tower

It's getting warmer at night, so why don't you take a walk before you return?

 

 

A bird in Tokyo, the name of the route.

Actually, did you know everyone who was migratory bird?

I lived here in Chuo-ku for more than 15 years, but I learned about this fact only a few months ago.

　

Because I always fly, I always run, this is a train

When I thought I was always there, it was a mistake. 。 。

　

It was the same winter bird as the swan that came to Japan to pass the winter.

It seems that he will soon travel to Siberia to make a family.

　

Pay attention to your face~, yeah

It's like this. Did you get sunburned due to ultraviolet rays?

　

No, you've changed from winter feathers to summer feathers.

Finally, the countdown to Siberia has begun.

　

These squirrels,

It is often found not only on Harumi Wharf, but also on the Hamarikyu Water Bus Departure, Kachidokibashi near the mouth of the Sumida River, and Sumida River Terrace near Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

This is also a charm that Chuo-ku faces Tokyo Bay.

　

 

 

It's already the cherry blossom season.

Cherry blossoms are blooming from Aioi Bridge to Tsukuda River City 21, Paris Square, and Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

There are many cherry blossom viewing visitors.

As of April 4, it was still a bit cold, so I felt it would be in full bloom.

　　

From Tsukuda River City, you can also see Eitai Bridge and the Tokyo Sky Tree.

Also, there are many cherry blossoms near Chuo-ohashi Bridge, so it is recommended.

The view of the Sumida River terrace in Shinkawa from Paris Square is also nice.

Tsukuda Park also has many cherry blossoms, seasonal flowers and trees, and plants, so you can stroll along the river.

It is also located behind Tsukuda Elementary School and Tsukuda Junior High School on the opposite side of River City 21.

Cherry blossoms are also located in the nearby Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, so I think it's a good walking course.
