Takarabashi is a bridge that spans the former Kaede River, which has already been reclaimed, but now the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway runs below.
Although the traffic volume of Takarabashi is not large, there are highways running not only under the bridge but also above it.
Willows are blooming all over the planting space at the base of Hatchobori side of this treasure bridge.
It's the place in red on the map
below.
Byou willow (Mioyanagi, Beauty willow) is a semi-deciduous shrub of the family Asteraceae.
It is native to China and came to Japan about 300 years ago. The flowering season is around May to July, and blooms five yellow petals with a diameter of about 5 cm.
Kinshibai, which blooms yellow flowers at the same time, is also a member of the same family, and it is very similar when viewed from a distance, and it is not possible to distinguish between the flowers, but if you look closely at the flowers themselves, the willow oshibe is long and It stands out well.
The photo above 
is Kinshibai, and the photo below is Biyo willow.
