April 1 Mizutani Bridge Park opened as a rooftop park
The area around the former Mizutani Bridge Park, which had been under construction, opened on April 1. (I'm writing this on the 9th.)
The location is the same as the former Mizutanibashi Park, but the first to third floors are the buildings of the licensed nursery school "Manabi no Mori Nursery School Ginza" (and public toilets), and the rooftop is Mizutanibashi Park in Chuo Ward.
weeping cherry tree in the image above seems to have relocated what was in the former Mizutani Bridge Park.
Floor map It is as shown at the bottom of the image on the right, and the opening time is quite long from 07:00 to 21:00. (Of course it's free.) It may be good for a short break while withdrawing from corona measures.
When I went up to the rooftop by elevator ...
fringed iris (Josha). I often see them growing in a slightly moist place, but I am surprised that they are blooming beautifully despite the rooftop.
Japanese andromeda. Because it is toxic, it seems like a "tree where horses are drunk", but this seems to be a little over the height.
Codemari (Kotemari). It is a very similar flower, and there is a slightly larger flower called Ode Mali, but it seems that it is similar or non-developed, or another "family".
Gyoryubai. I don't think it's a name that I don't hear much, but the Maori name of this flower is famous (the place of origin seems to be New Zealand in the first place). The name is "Manuka". Yes, it's Manuka Hanny's Manuka. Bees are coming in.
Name quiz
"What's the name?" often found in Hibiya Park, etc. There were a lot of plates. Even though it is a small park, there are about 10 types, none of which are easy! At least for me ... (^^)
Please come and try it. 。 。
What is the most important place?
The current location is as shown in the map on the far right, but this area is a place where there have been considerable changes in parcels.
In the Edo period (map on the left), "Mizutani Bridge" did not exist, and Sanjuma Horikawa was connected in a key shape toward the three-way intersection of "Kyobashi River, Kaede River, Sakuragawa". (There was a defense reason)
It seems that it was a figure for a while even in the Meiji era, but in 1903, the flow path was changed for the main purpose of water transport maintenance, and it became like a map in the middle.
After the end of Pacific War, the Sanjuken River was first reclaimed for rubble in Tokyo, which became scorched soil, and then the Kaede River and Kyobashi River were reclaimed for the construction of expressways.
