Hamarikyu Onshi Garden

[Yurikamome] May 29, 2009 08:45

In the first report of May, I wrote an article saying, "Weeping ginkgo at Namishi Inari Shrine is rare ...", but the other day, I was walking in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden and a large weeping ginkgo in front of the button garden I found a large weeping ginkgo.

It wasn't an unusual thing. I regret that I have to have the eyes to see the plants accurately.

In the spacious garden surrounded by greenery, there are places in the city where you can feel as if you were in the mountains.

Now the pine "Midori Tsumi" is over and Japanese iris is blooming beautifully.

Pine green buds ... The sprouts are picked, but the gardener decides the appropriate length and picks them with fingertips without using scissors. It will be held from the middle of May.

In addition, this garden is a valuable garden that has become a nationally designated "special scenic spot and special historic site".

If you enter the park at the same time as the opening of the park at 9 o'clock on weekdays, there are still few visitors and you feel like you are monopolizing a quiet garden.

There is an explanation of free guide volunteers in the garden from 9:00 and 2:00 on weekends and holidays.

Sumida River Terrace & Chuo-ohashi Bridge seen from the vicinity of Eitai Bridge is very beautiful, so it is recommended.

 

By the way, it seems that many celebrities live in the high-rise apartment shown in the picture.☆

 

The river city area across Chuo-ohashi Bridge has a celebrity atmosphere, so be sure to visit the Sumida River Terrace.

 

Take a walk, too. 

 

 

 

 

Happy Walk in Nihonbashi #1

[Happy Talk] May 28, 2009 08:30

Speaking of Edo Nihonbashi, it was built just one month after Ieyasu Tokugawa opened the Edo Shogunate in Keicho 8 (1603), and the starting point of Gokaido (Hakone University Ekiden in New Year's Day) and the Nihonbashi Fish Bank (east side of Kitazume) entered Showa and went to the current Tsukiji Market.
It was the kitchen of Edo until it was relocated.

In Keicho 5 (1600), British William Adams, who drifted ashore on the Dutch ship Reefde, went to Edo, became a diplomatic adviser to Ieyasu Tokugawa, and was awarded the title of Samurai. Marriage with Snow, the adopted woman of Kageyu, and became Anjin Miura. The area around the site of his mansion in Nihonbashi Muromachi today was called Anjincho until the early Showa era.

The giboshi in Nihonbashi, built in 1657 by the carpenter Shiina Hyogo, was exhibited in the window display of the long-established lacquerware shop "Kuroeya" (east side of Minamizume). Time slip to Nihonbashi 352 years ago!

Opposite is the Japanese dining bar on the first floor of the Kokubun headquarters building, familiar with crab cans marked with K & K in 297, its name is "Nihonbashi Ichinoichi Ichinoichi", aracart with ingredients from each place name, sake sent directly from Kuramoto, premium wine from around the world, and jazz flow space is just a stylish gourmet!

The riverside along the Nihonbashi River (Horikawa), which was the waterway for the construction of Edo Castle, can be said to be the starting point for the development of a waterfront that will lead to the Tokyo Olympics scheduled to be invited in 2016.

After strolling around the Nihonbashi area, tilt your glass at the Riverside Terrace on Nihonbashi, which boasts a history of more than 400 years, and "Cherers in Edo Nihonbashi" with fun friends at a slightly advantageous Happy Hour! "


 

 

This is a palm rice

[Diet from tomorrow] May 27, 2009 20:50

Speaking of Hayashi rice, Maruzen, Brick Tei, and Shiseido Parlour immediately come to mind, but my recommendation is Ota Sanchi Hayashi Rice (Ginza 7-2-9 Hirayama Building 2F). It's made by a former Takara Jenne mom, so it's delicious. There is no mistake in my taste buds. Please come and visit us.  

 

From the northern edge of Chuo-ku

[North Yujin] May 27, 2009 09:15

 Chuo-ku is elongated from north to south, and looks like a pattern of clothes when you look at the outline.

I would like to introduce the city north of this neck to the shoulder.

 The Sumida River to the east, the Kanda River to the north, the Kanda River is the northern end, and the right end that flows into the Sumida River of this river is the northernmost end of Chuo-ku, and now Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome.

The bridge over the mouth of the Kanda River is Yanagibashi, and the opposite bridge is Taito Ward.

 In addition, Ryogoku Bridge is a large bridge on the Sumida River side near the tip, and this name is said to be a bridge connecting Musashi no Kuni (here side) and Shimousa no Kuni (there side, now Sumida-ku). It is said that it was given.

 The west side of Hashizume (this side) is the so-called Nihonbashi Ryogoku, and it is also the place where Ryogoku Hirokoji was established as a fire protection area after the great fire of the Meiryaku era. It seems that it has been very popular as a prime place since the middle of the Edo period, but now buildings are lined up as a business district and condominium district.

 It is a minor place where many people do not visit, but I would like to walk slowly from the next time.

Tsukishima means Tsukishima. It's not just "Monja".

[Silver] May 27, 2009 09:15

Today is no overtime day. I crossed Kachidokibashi and went about six months ago.

"Where was the cheap and delicious restaurant with sashimi?" Take Kiyosumi-dori toward Tokyo Metro Tsukishima Station.

 It was about 600m from Kachidokibashi Station and about 150m from Tsukishima Station. It's around 5:30 in the evening.

A young wife and a couple with children were already enjoying boiled fish made of fresh fish.

 Furthermore, going north about 100m, used bookstores. Here, in a little look

I got a book written by Mr. Munehide Tokugawa, the eleventh head of the Tayasu Tokugawa family, called "The secret story of Tokugawa 400 Years".

 By the way, I asked a question that I couldn't understand, such as "Where was the delicious lever fly shop?" I asked, but I am grateful to the bookstore owner who responded cheerfully. It is the bookstore in the town that provides such a warm and kind response. 

 When I walked while looking for it, and asked a high school girl, he kindly told me, "Oh Kannon ...."

The joy of finding what you want. "Fresh Rever Fly" begins to fry after ordering.

After holding hands with Tsukishima Good luck Kannon, the bad behavior of squatting in the back of a building in the early Showa era called "Tsukishima Nishinakadori Koban" was too delicious, and please forgive me for nostalgia.

 There's a public bath on the second floor here. If you ask, now there is one place in Tsukishima. There is only one more house behind Minato 3-chome, and most of the buildings here are tenement houses, and there was no need to have a bath, so they are now inconvenient. I thought it was necessary to cherish the public bath and the culture of the town. Well, take a picture.liverFry.jpg
