The refreshing season has come. The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are almost over, but I guess you probably enjoyed the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom on either side.
This year, there were many sunny days, so I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms on the waterside calmly, including the Sumida River.
In Chuo-ku, there are many waterfronts that flow slowly between urban buildings. The cherry blossoms that bloom as if they blend into the waterside scenery seem to have something special that is slightly different from other cherry blossoms.
This spring, there was a waterside that I wanted to visit. It is a cherry blossom promenade in Harumi, Chuo-ku.
This "Sakura promenade" is a small path along the Asashio Canal, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom for hundreds of meters. And last fall, a new bridge was built over this morning tide canal. It is a pedestrian-only bridge, and its name is "Sakura Kobashi".
The scenery of cherry blossoms blooms on the waterside, and the cherry blossoms look like the scenery with the waterside.
It was a bridge with the word cherry blossoms, so if you cross it, I thought it would be good when the cherry blossoms bloom. Just having the cherry blossoms in the name of the bridge makes you feel a little peaceful.
One of the reasons for selecting the name of this bridge is the bridge leading to the cherry blossom promenade. The place where it was built is the junction with the Tsukishima River, which is known for its row of cherry trees. So, I think it became a very suitable name.
This bridge looks very stylish. The girder thickness is extremely thin and the bridge piers is wide, so the ship is easy to pass through and has a clean design. Also, the pale-colored tiles colored on the bridge girder give a very soft impression. I was able to feel the spring of the waterside at the spring bridge of the Asashio Canal.
This bridge connects Kachidoki and Harumi.
On the Harumi side is Triton Square, a large building. Many company workers cross the Asashio Canal, but recently more and more young people choose this place as a living city, and many children play.
There are still many young trees on the cherry blossom promenade, but by the time the children grew up here as their hometown and grew up, I think that the cherry blossoms on this promenade are also growing.
From the Kachidoki side, where the land is slightly lower, climb the stairs just before crossing. Since it is a pedestrian-only bridge, when you are cycling, get off and climb the bridge using a gentle slope. The width of the bridge is made wider at the entrance than in the middle, so it is a very easy-to-approach bridge. And as the surroundings become darker, it changes to a moist atmosphere.
The neighborhood is also a quiet residential area, so the bridge is a little modest impression that matches the atmosphere of this place without asserting itself. In particular, the Harumi area seen from the slope on the Kachidoki side has a very calm atmosphere, even though it is a futuristic landscape.
From now on, it will be a beautiful season of fresh greenery, but if you look for fresh greenery in the city, you will be able to find a relaxing landscape. And if it is a waterside landscape, it feels very refreshing.
There are many watersides in Chuo-ku. I hope you will continue to enjoy the spring of the waterside of Chuo-ku.
