CIMG2218S.JPGA Tsurubara tunnel, a slide for children to play, and a "Mube shelf" that is not a shaded Fuji shelf.
There is a wooden garden chair on the front of it.
This is the rooftop garden on the 6th floor of St. Luke International Hospital in Akashicho. It also plays a role in promoting greening.
You can see inpatients of wheelchairs and visitors chatting around the garden path, which was skillfully built during planting.

I can hear the birds singing.
The lush rooftop garden is also used as a place to refresh inpatients and to meet and talk with their families. It is also a symbol of the hospital that aims to not only treat diseases but also to "heal the heart" of patients.

Harumi is a rocking basket of an airship

20100509 Harumi Aircraft. jpgI often see airships anchored on the large grounds of Harumi Wharf recently.note

The site of the Tokyo Olympics was scheduled to be used as an airship departure and arrival point in April.

The airship floating softly in the blue sky of May makes you feel relaxed.cloud

The price of the sightseeing flight seems to be reasonable price setting, but it is a late spring afternoon after the dream of the sky while thinking, "Is it meaningful as a luxurious experience?"lovely

 This area is a town that was once called [Genyadana]. It is a stage famous for Kabuki's care kyogen, "Kyoho Ukina Yokogushi", that is, "Otomi-san". There is an explanation board indicating the edge of the street.memo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ningyocho Suehiro 2.jpgOn the first floor of the building mentioned earlier, a sign indicating the trace of Ningyocho Suehiro, which was here until 1968 (Showa 43), is embedded.

It was a famous vaudeville where Showa masters competed for art. Not only Kabuki and rakugo, but this area is a town that preserves the atmosphere of Edo culture.camera

It's fun to take a walk while soaking in a little nostalgic mood.

The strongest power spot

[Satsuki Yanagi] May 10, 2010 09:00

Recently, "power spots" have attracted attention.

Koami Shrine was introduced as the "strong power spot" among the many spots on TV the other day.
koami6.jpg

Why are you lucky?
I heard that during the Great Kanto Earthquake, Koami Shrine also collapsed.
The predecessor, Miyashi, held his body and evacuated to nearby Shinohashi. It seems that there is a legend that the people who evacuated there in large numbers did not fall off Shin-ohashi Bridge itself and saved it.
Also, during the Great Tokyo Air Raid, Koami Shrine miraculously remained intact while the surroundings became burnt fields.
During the Pacific War, Ujiko, who decided to go to the battlefield as soldiers, received bills at Koami Shrine.
Then ... All the soldiers who received the bills have been returned.
It seems to be crowded for a while due to the influence of TV and magazines ... I hope that all visitors (obey the rules and manners and worship) will be able to receive the blessings ... ... I've been asking!
Speaking of Koami Shrine ... It is also famous for "Photagonal Kagura Hall" and "Doburoku Festival", but there is still a great benefit!

There is also a Mr. Benzaiten, so don't forget to go to visit!

A shop that I was worried about ~ Ginza Green Juice Stand ~

[Ken] May 10, 2010 09:00

On a weekday evening, I found a shop that I was worried about walking in Ginza.

"Blue Juice Stand...?」 It was a shop of a genre I've never seen before, so I've never seen before.

Let's go in for now.

Appearance (~1.jpg)

 

When you enter, you can see that the smell of the peculiar to vegetables that don't be disappointed.

I'm telling you.

To a woman like a staff member, "Is this a restaurant where you can drink green juice?"

 

When I asked him, "Yes. (Size) size? Do you want to make it small?"

 

To be honest, green juice What I drank Because there was no feeling of "trial things"

 

I'd like a small one. By the way, the large is 500 yen and the small is 250 yen.

(The glass in the photo is small.)

Green juice (~1.jpg)  

"No," I tried to drink it. A bitter liquid throat

I'm passing by. The smell of blue fills the plumpun and the nasal cavity. What is easy to drink?

I can't say very much, but this bitterness is good for my body.

 

It seems that this shop, Ginza, has been doing it for 25 years.

Vegetables called "kale", which is the raw material, are crushed every morning at the shop, so it is very good.

Fresh You can drink green juice from this stand. In the neighborhood during lunch and evening on weekdays

Work It seems that office workers and office workers often visit.
