Japanese white-eye in the sunshine and cherry blossoms at Tsukiji River Park

[Yurikamome] March 31, 2011 08:30

  We took a walk in Tsukiji River Park recommended by Ginzo.   

The flowerbed was full of flowers, and many people were invited cheerfully and enjoyed it.

Tokyo Waterside Cruise: Wish for Reconstruction by People 90 Years ago

[The cat on the slope] March 28, 2011 08:45

I used a ticket for the Tokyo Waterfront Line in raffle at Riverside Autumn Festa, which was introduced in a blog post last September. Actually, I thought after waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom, but due to the expiration date, it was a little earlier.

 

We chose the "Ryogoku-Odaiba Cruise" course. Boarding from Ecchu Island in front of St. Luke's Garden → Hamarikyu → Odaiba Kaihinkoen → Hamarikyu → In front of St. Luke's Garden → Etchujima → Both countries → Sakurabashi → I'm going around with both countries.

There are many other courses, and there are temporary boats depending on the season. For more information, please visit the Tokyo Waterfront Line website.

As you go upstream to Kachidokibashi, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, and the sky tree gradually becomes larger.

On the way, I went under a lot of bridges. Of these, Komagata Bridge, Kuramae Bridge, and Umaya Bridge were constructed as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake. During this time, many other bridges were built on the Sumida River. About two weeks from Great East Japan Earthquake. It is difficult to get on the road to reconstruction, but when I learned that people 90 years ago built several bridges after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I looked up at the sky tree towering over the blue sky while remembering the song `` Bridge over tomorrow '' I was

Departure of the White Turtle

[Yurikamome] March 16, 2011 08:30

Winter birds that came from the Kamchatka area in the fall spend winter in Japan and fly from here and there.

Today, on my way home from shopping, I saw off the squirrel flying from dike from Tsukiji in Kachidokibashi.

 

"In the name, there is no one who thinks of the city bird that has no word."
