Night on Ginza Street

[Yurikamome] May 31, 2010 16:30

It is a familiar scenery for those who work in Ginza and those who live nearby, but for those who do not know the night view of Ginza, we captured Ginza from around 9:20 pm to around 10:00 pm on the camera.

I didn't know the night view of Ginza until a while ago.

This photo shows the person who is blowing saxophone in front of Matsuzakaya.

People passing by, people stopping and listening ... people who can talk ...

He was blowing while having fun with Mike on in the night town.

I captured the scenery of Ginza 4-chome to 6-chome in the camera. 

I took pictures of old streetlights and the top of a relatively classic building.

On Chuo-dori, it seems that the building was restricted to be up to the 10th floor by the "Hyakushaku method", but now a slightly higher building seems to be built.

It's near Ginza 4-chome intersection.

The lighting is shining brightly.

Ginza says, "When do you sleep?" ・It's shining brightly until all the time.

 This is a new streetlight on Ginza Street this year.

I didn't notice it during the day, but the pillars also had light bulbs and glowed brightly.

There was a clock just beyond the telephone pole, and the date and time were reflected in detail below it.

I live my life like myself

[Sunset Hill] May 28, 2010 09:30

 Thursday, May 27  A lecture on adult guardianship system was held at Nihonbashi Public Hall.

200sswIMGP0305.jpg

 

 The old people were listening eagerly.

 

 

 

 

 

 There are two adult guardianship systems.

 

    1 “Statutory Guardianship System” 

                                ①Guardianship

                               ②"Hosa,"

                               ③"Auxiliary"

      2. Voluntary guardianship system                            I'll break up with you 

   

It seems that you can choose depending on the degree of your judgment ability.

It seems that there are some "cumbersome", but I also realized that it was "a system to protect my own rights."

When I stopped and looked back on the life I had walked so far, and when I set guidelines for my future life, I thought it was a wise way to use this system.

 

My older friend is still very energetic, but I'm asking me. You should do it yourself as much as possible. But in any case, please.' Anxiety of getting older, remnants of leaving behind in case of emergency, etc.

It's a way to walk someday, but now it's something I don't want to think much.

 

200ssWIMGP0319.jpg This is an easy-to-understand brochure.

 

6/23 (Wednesday) at the ward office

It seems that a lecture related to this time will be held.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no "Saka" in Chuo-ku!

[Koedo Itabashi] May 27, 2010 09:00

They are walking around Chuo-ku.

 

"This road is a steep climb, but what a slope is it?"

"This is just going up to the bridge, so I don't say it's a hill."

"Yes. This area is relatively flat, so there seems to be no slope."

"Yes. There's no reason.

     Look, "Fuji Misaka" and "Shiomizaka" are classics everywhere in Tokyo.

     I saw Mount Fuji in the distance and looked down at the sea."

"Ah, that's right,"

    He said that he opened a guidebook that he brought for a walk.

She said, "Ah, the slope isn't written."

 

"It's strange. I'm going up to high-rise buildings and getting off at underground stations.

    I felt like there was a hill, but what about it?"

"Speaking of that, since it was an area developed and expanded by landfills since the Edo period.

    I wonder if it's the basic way."

    I also take out the map that was thrown into the backpack.

    They check every corner while tracing the road with their fingers.

 

"It's true! There are no slopes in Chuo-ku."

 

 

 

Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2)

[Sunset Hill] May 26, 2010 09:30

On May 23 (Sun), we participated in the "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour".

The ward has been supporting forest conservation activities in the forest [Chuo-ku Forest] in Hibara-mura, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo since 2018.

 

W50IMGP0258.jpgTrees are planted in plots without trees.

In heavy rain, we break up into groups and climb.

Because of the strong rain legs, I was prepared to prevent rain from entering my neck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

W50IMGP0260.jpg1 Experience of tree planting.

 

The height of 2 meters in yamazakura in the third year

I dug 40cm in diameter and 30-40cm in depth.

 

We plant bamboo together to support young cherry blossoms.

 

 

 

2 In the charcoal grilling experience, charcoal was served.

 

W50IMGP0275.jpgThe charcoal from the kiln is bright red, beautiful red.

Cover it with soil and cool it to make it usable charcoal.

 

The tools used to get out of the kiln are about 3m, and it is difficult to balance.

 

 

 

 

  3 Thinning work experience

 

W50IMGP0281.jpgBecause of the heavy rain, everyone is visiting from the charcoal hut.

Three junior high school students were very active.

 

Place a rope on the top of the cut tree, and put a saw and a saw at the base. If you fall down, pull the rope.

 

 

 

In the descent, the mountain road is too muddy and slips just by dropping your feet.

The people of the forest conservation organization went ahead several places, stretched ropes, and avoided slipping, helping everyone descend.

 

Both children and adults showed us how people were seriously working to preserve the forest.

The cherry blossoms will also have a strong root next year.

If possible, I would like to participate next year and see the cherry blossoms.

In addition, it seems that there is also a "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour" in the fall.

Looking for the Tokyo Sky Tree

[North Yujin] May 26, 2010 09:00

Is the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is under construction in Narihirabashi, approaching 400m soon?

Let's walk in search of the tree seen from the Chuo-ku side.

Considering the distance, first go to Ryogoku Bridge.

Please see the first image from the northern corner of Nishibashi packed.

Next, let's get off to the Sumida River Terrace.

If you look up from the lower side of Ryogoku Bridge, it looks like this.

I'll try to expand it a little.

Skytree from CHO 002.JPG

 

I walk toward Shinohashi, but I can't see it hidden in buildings on the opposite bank.

 

After passing the bridge, I could see it from around the curve.

Let's take two shots of chotted!

Skytree from CHO 003.JPG

 

Skytree from CHO 005.JPG

 

Take a look at the fire boats at Nihonbashi Fire Station and go to Kiyosu Bridge.

The tree can be seen from the northern end of Kiyosu Bridge, but it is enlarged and copied from the middle of the bridge full of the territory of Chuo-ku.

Skytree from CHO 007.JPG

 

Next, head to the Sumida River Ohashi.

Here, too, it expands from the border of the ward (Sumida River Ohashi center) and captures the Sky Tree over Kiyosu Bridge.

Skytree from CHO 008.JPG

 

Next, cross the Nihonbashi River and go to Eitai Bridge.

Let's go to the center of the bridge and catch the tree from within the ward.

Thanks to you, I was able to do good exercise for about an hour. 

Everyone, please try it.
