I would like to thank the street trees in Ginza (continued)

This summer, when the heat was really harsh until late September. I would like to introduce the main street trees in Ginza, which have been very helpful during walking around the city for the past three months.

Japanese linden tree @ Namiki-dori St.

I would like to thank the street trees in Ginza, Japanese linden tree @ Namiki-dori St.

"Namiki-dori St." runs north-south three lines west of Chuo-dori. Like the back streets of Ginza, there are luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci (also known as Soraya), a long-established Japanese confectionery store famous for its monaka), and Japanese linden tree (also good quality honey) with small yellow flowers blooming in early summer. Japanese linden tree is endemic species, Japan. It is widely distributed from Hokkaido to Kyushu, but it is said that it became the place name "Shinano" because it was particularly common in the Shinano region.

dogwood @ Matsuya Street

I would like to thank the street trees in Ginza, dogwood @ Matsuya Street (Continued)

Matsuya-dori runs east-west between Ginza 3-chome and 4-chome next to the luxury department store called "Matsuya Ginza". dogwood, which became famous for the song of Hitoyo Yo, is planted. From April to May, light red flowers bloom as shown in white or lyrics, and in autumn leaves turn red and red fruits grow. It is a friend of dogwood and Japanese dogwood that has more prominent flowers than dogwood (because it is native to the United States, the standard Japanese name is Yamaboshi, American).

Hitotsubago (Nanja Monja) @ Miyuki

Hitotsubago (Nanja Monja) @ Miyuki Tori Thank you to the street tree in Ginza (Continued)

"Miyuki-dori" runs between Ginza 5-chome and 6-chome in parallel with "Harumi-dori St.". It is said that Emperor Meiji was named after the Imperial Palace to attend the graduation ceremony of the Naval Academy and Naval University in Tsukiji at the time. Hitotsubatago, a street tree, is often referred to as "Nanja Monja (an unfamiliar splendid tree growing in a specific place)", and in Japan it has a narrow natural distribution area and is one of the rare species.

Toka maple @ Kojunsha Street

I would like to thank the street trees in Ginza, Tokaede @ Kojunsha Street (Continued)

"Kojunsha Street" runs east and west between Ginza 6-chome and 7-chome. The name of the street is the Kojun Building, which was completed in 1929 (Showa 4), the base of Japan's first social club, Kojunsha, founded mainly by Yukichi Fukuzawa. The current building is derived from the second generation. The maple, which is planted as a street tree, came from China as a donation to the Tokugawa shogunate in the 18th century, and came to be called a maple with maple's "Tang" meaning China.

Ginza is where unique trees are planted on each street. It was too hot this summer and I couldn't afford to enjoy it, but this month I'm going to be able to take a walk while loving the street trees.
