An alley in Ginza and Hodo Inari Shrine

[Yurikamome] December 12, 2010 17:46

 Today's Ginza is lined with tall buildings, but in the past it was not a tall building but a modern store.

The shops were lined up along the main street, but the back street between the building and the building played an active role as a living road.

At that time, the width of the road was about one, and it was said that he carried various things in an inconspicuous place.

Now it is thinner than before, but alleys are still left here and there.

An easy-to-understand alley is Harumi-dori St. toward Sukiyabashi and turn right in front of the Tenshodo building.

There is a cupid doll of about 70cm standing on the corner.

And if you turn left at the eel shop on the corner as if it were attached to the Tenshodo Building, you will find an alley.

If you walk a little at the end of the alley and turn right, you will find Hodo Inari.

Looking back at Hodo Inari, you can feel the building in the alley well.

The road in the alley is designed to lower the center and consider drainage, so that water does not accumulate on the road.

I thought this was the same as the alleys of Tsukuda and Tsukishima, and was well considered.

Hodo Inari Shrine Ginza 4-3

It was located in Edo Castle at a shrine dedicated to the son of the Shogun to grow up robustly, but it was enshrined at this place.

It is reported that there is a healthy child's growth and benefit.

It's the Christmas tree of OMEGA.

Fashionable vinyl umbrella of Yamatoya

[Mapo ★] December 10, 2010 22:15

It is a shoe shop located between Mitsukoshi and Ginza 4 Post Office along Harumi-dori St.
I've been there many times before.
There were not only shoes, but also socks, mufflers, umbrellas, etc.
I've always thought it was a sundries (^^;

I stopped looking at the vinyl umbrella hanging on the eaves of the shop.
Oh!? A vinyl umbrella? It's so cute~★

The patterns and borders are pink, and the patterns of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe are written.
I bought it immediately because the pink and Paris patterns are weak.

It's 525 yen!
Oh, even a transparent vinyl umbrella would cost 500 yen!
In addition, it is a jump umbrella (*^^*)

There were also blue and red in different colors.

They also sold expensive umbrellas in the store.
It was a full-fledged shoe shop with shoes lined up.

I just glanced at it, but there were some good shoes.
I'm going to visit slowly when I have time.

Walk around Nihonbashi and visit [Mont Museum]

[Shitamachi Tom] December 10, 2010 13:00

One weekend afternoon when I entered Shiwasu, I walked around the Nihonbashi area. There are a lot of shoppers walking along the main street.

Enter the road between Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building in the direction of Tokiwa Bridge. This area used to be [Echigo-ya]. [Mitsui Main Building] is also an important cultural property, and it shows a dignified appearance.sign01

The Bank of Japan's head office is in a hurry. With today's internationalization and complexity of finance, expectations for the Bank of Japan are growing even more.

By the way, opposite the head office of the Bank of Japan is the monetary museum. The Bank of Japan Annex is free of charge and displays materials related to domestic and foreign currency.

At the end of the year when you feel the value of money even more, look at the Keicho era large format, stately gold and silver coins and banknotes, and feel a little calm? ? I've got into it.coldsweats01

 

The Nihonbashi area is a town where you won't get tired of shopping and historical walks. Everyone, please discover new charms.eye
