2025年6月21日（土）、午前11時ごろに起きた。昼過ぎ、秋葉原で友人と食事をした。
1人になった帰り道、街路樹を眺めながら散歩した。歩いた区間は東京駅から新橋駅まで。道すがら、銀座を通った。
銀座の目抜き通りにはカツラが並ぶ。カツラがもつ上品さは、この街のブランドイメージに合っていると思う。
「花椿通り」という細い道には、ヤブツバキが植わっている。冬に花が咲けば、すぐそばに立つ、資生堂の赤いビルの華やかさを一層引き立ててくれるだろう。
On Saturday, June 21st, 2025, I got up around 11:00 a.m. and met up with my friend in Akihabara in the afternoon to chat.
After having a fun conversation with him, I walked from Tokyo Station to Shinbashi Station, passing through the Ginza district, the most upscale shopping area in Japan. While walking, I paid attention to the kinds of street trees planted along the way.
On the main street in Ginza, katsura trees are planted. I found them elegant, and they match the high-end image of the neighborhood.
On another street in Ginza, Hanatsubaki-dori Street, Japanese camellias are planted. They should produce stunning flowers in winter, which I imagine add to the splendor of the nearby Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building with its striking red exterior.
