In Ginza, luxury brand buildings opened one after another around two years ago.
In order to protect the scenery of the Ginza area, there is a Ginza rule that the height is up to 56 meters.
Either way, everyone will build at the very end, or there are more buildings of the same height.
And recently, there are many buildings with cafes and restaurants.

It was my birthday the other day, so I had a celebration at Armanirist Lante.

The Armani Ginza Tower in Harumi-dori St. is a building characterized by a pattern that looks like scattered leaves.

With the window seat, you can see Gucci and a 4°C building across the street.

　

The special anniversary course, the menu of 15,000 yen per person was like this.

 

　Festive glass spmante　　　　　　A bite appetizer before meals

Then, after blowing out the candles, it appears again like this (left)
It was an anniversary dinner, so I took a picture.★

　  

The structure of the building and the entrance are like a brand restaurant
Although it was a feeling, the staff was very friendly and at home.

"How's your taste? If it is thick, I will replace it.”
And they will come to listen to each dish,
When I happened to be bread, I was not good at nuts,
Today's special cake is a pistachio, so I'll change it.
I changed it to this chocolate mousse.

“Please do not hesitate to speak and use it.”
I was told that it would be easy to go next time.

Sunday, 14th, the last day of the Namiki Inari Shrine "Tsukiji Lion Festival".
It is the resurrected Edo festival.
Ceiling large lion, Benzaiten tooth black lion, and each town council
The lion head is traveling around Tsukiji town.
 
The large ceiling lion and the Benzaiten tooth black lion are surprisingly large compared to when they are enshrined.
I thought there was a whole lion head, but it was unexpected that the back half was cut.

The main festival two years from this year, which was 350 years after the shrine's sanctuary (hosai festival)
Various commemorative events are scheduled to be held.
If you are interested, you will need to check regularly in the future.
 

 

 Even if the "highest place" is not "land price" or "building height", but "elevation".

The terrain of Chuo-ku is flat without mountain valleys, and it is relatively easy for cycling and walking around the town. Walking around Chiyoda-ku or Minato-ku, you can see that there are many slopes. You can feel that most of Chuo-ku was landfilled.

In the first place, the place that became the standard for measuring the altitude of the whole country was It was a water mark on Reigishima Island in Chuo-ku. In the early Meiji period, tide level was observed to determine the zero (A.P.), and based on this, the Tokyo Bay average sea surface (T.P. = 0m above sea level) was determined, and a "level marker" was installed.

From this historical point, the current Japanese standard base (24.4140m) in the Kensei Memorial Park in front of National Diet Building was determined.

The ruins of the Reigishijima Checkpoint and Watermarks, which are the historical sites of the inhabitants of the ward, are well known, but what cannot be overlooked is the "first-class level" Komu-go "" (pictured above) located a little away from it. . It was relocated to its current location in 2006 (2006), and an explanation board was installed in February 2009 (2009). The altitude here is 3.24m.

By the way, Where is the highest altitude in Chuo-ku?

According to the data ("Standard Base Survey Results Table", July 2008 (2008), the Tokyo Metropolitan Civil Engineering Center), 20 elevations (Tokyo Bay average sea surface (T.P.)) are listed in Chuo-ku.

The high altitude point is 4.7619m at Nihonbashi Honishicho 3-chome. The following is Ginza 5-chome 4.7562m and Ginza 8-chome 3.8337m (lower photo = the standard base mark of Ginza 8-chome). After all, Ginza has a high "land price" but the "ground" seems to be high.

On the other hand, the altitude of the low point is 0.7360 m. Therefore, the height difference of the altitude in the ward is about 4m, which is about the height of the first floor of the building.

If you follow a high altitude point, it seems that you are along the ridgeline called Edo Maejima from the ancient Hongo plateau extension. It seems that the former Tokai route was also passed here, and was there a city that made use of the terrain?
