Cherry blossoms are in full bloom as if they were around Edobashi.

The cherry blossoms are over and it is a fresh green season. However, Satozakura, a book in the park in front of Nihonbashi Diamond Building in Edobashi Minamizume, is in full bloom and dyes the city with dark pink double petals. It's a landscape that doesn't change every year.

On the other hand, the opposite side across Showa-dori is in the middle of redevelopment, and the city changes dramatically. On the south side of the Nihonbashi River, the Nihonbashi area is Nihonbashi and Edobashi. The Nomura Securities Building, which is covered with blue sheets on the right side of the photo, is preserved, but many buildings have been dismantled and cleared. A skyscraper will be built from now on.

This park and Nihonbashi Diamond Building are not subject to redevelopment, and Satozakura can be enjoyed every year. However, the southern area (including the Nihonbashi Post Office in the photo) has been redeveloped and reborn as a high-rise building. By the way, what will happen to the scenery that can be seen through the flowers of Satozakura?
