I've been to the nature zoo here because there are cute animals such as Oguro Prairie Dog, Common squirrel monkey, Bennett Akaku Biwa Rabby.
However, at that time, I didn't notice at all that such a fine Ginza willow is planted right next to the entrance of the zoo, and I am wondering.

It's a willow here, but as you can see on the signboard!

If you look at the back side, you can see that it was donated by Ginza People in 2001.

The monument near it is the birthplace of willows in Ginza, its relationship with Azumino, "Tokyo March", "Yanagi Festival" in Ginza, the problem of willows as street trees, and Ginza willows spread throughout Japan. The background is described.

Finally, "By the way, Azumino Hodaka-cho and Edogawa-ku signed a friendship city agreement in 1974. Considering that, the fact that the willows in Ginza were planted in this Edogawa-ku area has a deep connection. "
Was the willow in Ginza donated due to such a connection?
Ginza willows are planted in front of Hotaka Station, so I would like to go to see them this year.

In addition, signboards for children who turn over and understand the answer are installed everywhere in the park.
The second hint on the sign near Yanagi III in Ginza refers to the rows of trees in Ginza.♪

Young leaves have just come out, but by the time of Golden Week, the leaves may grow quite a bit.
I would like to see such a figure again.

When I saw the willows in Ginza in Edogawa-ku, I was wondering what kind of situation the willows in Ginza, Chuo-ku are now.
So we headed for Ginza Yanagi-dori St., where willows are planted as street trees and there is a monument to "Ginza's willow".

It is far away from Ginza 8-chome and Yasuaki Elementary School where Ginza's Yanagi Nisei and Yosei are planted, but when shopping around Chuo-dori, you can also enjoy willows together.

Depending on the tree, there is a slight difference in the shape of the leaves, but willows flutter in the wind, adding freshness to the city.

Even if the cherry blossoms are past their best time, the willow leaves will grow lush in the future!
When you come to Ginza, why don't you look at the unique roadside planting and historical street trees?
