 On March 15 (Saturday), we participated in the "Sumida River Tour Boat Tour" hosted by the River Section of Chuo-ku Water and Green Division.

"Let's experience the scenery of the Shinsui-Koen Park and Sumida River in the ward from the boat," a tour of the Sumida River takes about two hours to the area around the Tokyo Sky Tree starting from the morning tide canal boat landing (3-1 Harumi).

At 9:15 Tokyo Bay cruising: Boarded Ess III (capacity: 60 people) (first flight) and departed from the morning tide canal boat landing.

The course is Asashio Kobashi ~ (tentative name) Asashio Canal Bridge ~ Kachidokibashi ~ Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge ~ Chuo-ohashi Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Eitai Bridge ~ Sumida River Ohashi ~ Kiyosu Bridge ~ Shinohashi ~ Metropolitan Expressway Route 6.7 ~ Ryogoku Bridge ~ JR Aioi Bridge ~ Kuramae Bridge ~ Umaya Bridge ~

There were times when the city and the waterside were separated due to the decline of boat transportation, flood control, and the improvement of function priority during the high growth period, but in recent years the natural environment of the waterside and the function as a hydrophilic space have been re-examined, and the terrace maintenance has been carried out.

Currently, the waterside terrace is equipped with terrace flower beds, dog run terraces, terrace galleries, disaster prevention docks, etc. There are also stylish open cafes that apply the revised "River Site Permit Regulations" to the view point of view of Sumida Park, where the namako wall style seawall was located.

If you think about the historical sites scattered in the surrounding area, you will see the remnants of the downtown atmosphere that still drifts in your mind, but you will be fascinated by the lively town where old and new intersect and transform every moment.

In addition, the scenic view where the Tokyo Sky Tree fits just behind the middle of Kiyosu Bridge, an elegant suspension bridge that is described as feminine, which is unique to the ship, and when passing through Asashiobashi and Harutsuki Bridge with low bridge girders, passengers on the deck on the second floor experienced a thrilling scene that warned, "Please bow your head."

Unfortunately, it did not coincide with the flowering time of Yoshino cherry tree, but we were able to enjoy bridges of various types and colors and changes in the coastal scenery from a different perspective, so we had a fulfilling weekend time.

Thank you very much to everyone involved.

The spring of the Tsukiji River comes and the Sumida River Katabami blooms and water lukewarm

[Silver] March 18, 2014 18:00

 The title of today's blog was a little bit shy and a short song.

I would be happy if you could praise me when it expresses the feeling of spring.

 

By the way, the cherry blossoms at Tsukiji River Park  next to St. Luke's College of Nursing have bloomed. 

In this same garden, many Yoshino cherry tree blooms from the end of March.

 For a moment, if you go to Tsukiji Market,

"Renkyo" in the photo below and the pretty white kodama "Yukiyanagi" are also beginning to bloom.

It's a nice spring.

  If you go down from St. Luke's Tower to the Sumida River Terrace, you will see the leaves like a clover.

"Katabami" blooms pretty yellow flowers.
Please drop in during St. Luke Street, shopping at Tsukiji, or a gastronomy restaurant.

 

 

<Hamarikyu Onshi Garden>

 Due to the record heavy snowfall earlier, fallen trees and broken branches occurred extensively in parks in Tokyo. The Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is no exception, and for a while, fallen trees and fallen leaves blocked the garden path, there were many broken branches over the head, and some traffic became impossible to ensure safety, but gradually around Baien The removal work has been completed, and the late blooming plums are in full bloom, giving a faint sweet scent.

This time, I'm going to talk about it.

The middle ring of the double-flowered of the Noume family, which is rare among plums with many classical kanji names, is said to be a "changed species".

Red, light red, spot, and white flowers are mixed in a single tree and bloom.

It is said that depending on the year, where and how it blooms, it is not specified, and the appearance differs every year.

It may be blooming in the plums themselves "like feelings", but here too, I have to feel the mystery of nature.

I hear that many fans are looking forward to the different color patterns.

Tsukiji and other fresh fish shops

[Apricot peony] March 16, 2014 09:00

Speaking of landmarks in the Tsukiji and Akashicho areas, Market, Honganji and St. Luke International Hospital.

There are completely different things in a narrow space, so just a little bit of a road will change the atmosphere completely.

In particular, the area around 6.7-chome was once called Odawara-cho, and there are many wooden private houses and signboard buildings built in the early Showa era, and there are many hideaway shops.

Some Tsukiji enthusiasts are sometimes called "Ura Tsukiji".


ck1203_20140314 (5). jpg 

Under such circumstances, I was worried about this "Tsukiji and other fresh fish shop" every time I passed in front.


They also sell fresh fish, but they have lunch at noon and can drink alcohol at night.

The lunch menu is always lined with delicious seasonal fresh fish.


Recently, I think that it was the number one book introducing Tsukiji recently, and in Yuki Ozawa's `` Tsukiji Harapeko Kaiki '', my husband was the manager of `` Uogawagishi Noro '' at an out-of-market market It was written that he was Kazu Watanabe, the manager of the store.

If it was that shop, there was a really good fresh fish with certain connoisseurs, so it was a shop that I went many times.

There is no doubt! I went to lunch right away.

 

ck1203_20140314 (4). jpgThen, the menu for that day was just written as one dish "seafood curry".

 

When I went inside, I asked Mr. Watanabe and found out, but the seafood curry that I put out before was very popular, so I decided to say "Friday is Curry Day".

ck1203_20140314 (2). jpgOf course, it's not just a curry, but a lot of squid, scallops, and mussels are contained in the plump shrimp, and the soup is also effective, this is exactly the gem of seafood curry!

Because it is limited to 30 meals, it may be sold out early depending on the day.

One who came to the store after me said, "Is there still today? Lucky!" he said.

 

At lunch and at night, the first floor has a stand-up style without chairs, but there is also a parlor on the second floor. (Please make a reservation in advance.)

 

ck1203_20140314 (3). jpgAnd I would like to eat seafood bowl at a later date! That's why I went on a day other than Friday.

The menu is daily, and on this day, there are three types of raw scallop and salmon roe bowl, natural raw tuna pickled rice bowl, and upper shirasu and raw urchin bowl, all of which are small bowls (on this day, Yamacho's egg grilled), pickles, and ara soup. With soup.

It's such a luxurious menu, but it's a thousand yen!

Limited 20 meals.

 

I asked for raw scallop and salmon rice bowl.

There are plenty of raw scallops that feel really fresh and subtle sweetness on the bowl.

Moreover, there is a scallop under the large leaves of the salmon roe.

I'm happy now! I'm going to see you.

Arai soup has a very good smell when you bring the bowl close!

The fish sardines are really well out, and as expected.

The small bowl is egg-yaki by Mr. Yamacho of Tsukiji Market, and pickles are attached here.

ck1203_20140314 (1). jpg 

After all, I was really satisfied with the fish shop!

 

At night, there are menus of fresh fish purchased by Mr. Watanabe that day, such as sashimi, grilled fish, boiled fish, etc.

I really want to eat delicious fish! If you think about it, it is definitely a recommended shop.

Hamarikyu Gardens where canola flower and plums bloom.

[kimitaku] March 13, 2014 13:00

 At the Hamarikyu Garden, canola flower is now in full bloom.

 We took a walk in the park.

 The red and white plums are in full bloom when you enter from the large entrance.

 And further down, despite the heavy snow, canola flower was in full bloom.


 If you look into many Hanabusa, the petals are hurt by snow. Stroll along the path. The hotels in Shiodome are shining in the sun.

P1000761-otin.jpg
I extended my feet to "Ochinyama" (Ochinyama). It's still a winter atmosphere.


At the foot of the mountain, narcissus is blooming.
This is like a place where there is no wind.

P1000767-isi.jpg

P1000764-nekoko.jpgNyanko also took a nap at Matsuno teahouse near here.

canola flower was in full bloom in the middle of the year, but as it gets warmer, it will delight many customers.

 

 

 

Chuo-ku from the sea

[kimitaku] March 12, 2014 18:00

  On the afternoon of March 6, a “Onboard Guide Workshop” hosted by Chuo-ku was held.

  Take a boat from the boarding of Takahashi, Koto-ku, go out the Onagi River in Koto-ku, and downstream down the Sumida River. Look at Chuo-ohashi Bridge to the right, go through Aioi Bridge, and go to the Toyosu Tree Plant.

P1000769-1.jpgP1000771-1.jpg

P1000775-sinonome.jpg From the Toyosu Canal, the boat goes to Toshin, the Sunacho Canal, and go south from the Akebono Canal to Tokyo Bay.

 Around this time, many Olympic facilities will be built.

After that, we went westward north and went from Shinonome Canal to Harumi Wharf.

 The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful on the left hand. The waves are swaying high and big around here, giving the real pleasure of the ship.

 It is said that the left hand of Harumi Passenger Terminal will be the Olympic Village.

P1000781-rein.jpgP1000787-olin.jpg

 The boat looks at the Asashio Canal to the right and goes to the Sumida River, and the refrigeration facilities at Tsukishima Wharf are the highlight.

P1000789-toyomi.jpgP1000790-kaiyou.jpg

 Loop Route 2 passing through Shimbashi (commonly known as MacArthur Road: scheduled to open in recent years) Bridge construction site, and from Tsukiji Market to Kachidokibashi.

Tsukuda Island on the right from St. Luke's Hospital.
The houses of Tsukuda from the sea are very nice. The scenery from the sea is carefully built.

P1000803-isikawa.jpg

 When you pass through Chuo-ohashi Bridge, the Ishikawajima Condominiums are beautiful in the backlight.

And from Nihonbashi River to Toyomi Bridge. The fishing boat during the mooring is an accent. At Minato Bridge, I discovered the emblem of a sailing boat.

P1000804-toyomihasi.jpgP1000807-minato.jpg

The boat goes westward with the stylish capital height as the roof.
Arrived on the shore of Sojuro Nihonbashi.

From now on, Chuo-ku will expand its doors to the sea.
