Hello everyone.　Today we will show you the flowers of the Hamarikyu Gardens, especially the stunning Yae-zakura.

Enter the garden and in front of Shinsenza Kamoba.　From the left you can see "fringed iris", the yellow flower in the center is "Japan globeflower", and the white flower is a wild strawberry. (All photos are as of April 21.)

The bridge to the teahouse in Nakajima is under restoration.　However, splendid cherry blossoms are blooming on the left side of the embankment.

Then, let's walk on the outside promenade. "Fugen elephant" at the foot of Mt. Fujimi.

If you follow the road, you can see Yae-zakura such as Sekiyama and Kazuha.

And some elegant sweet scent drifts.　It's "Surugadai smell."

Then, about 30 meters before the seaside bridge is the rare Yae-zakura, such as Gyoiko, Sekiyama, Turmeric and Kazuha.

Let's go left in front of the canola flower field.　Buttons are beginning to bloom.

I think the best time to see peony is until mid-May, but is Yae-zakura until April 27?

Please go out and enjoy it. For inquiries, please contact Hamarikyu Garden at 03-3541-0200.

 At the entrance hall on the 1st floor of the Ginza Sony Building, a flower box arranged with 500 domestic spray mum is on display as the sixth flight of "Ginza Flower Letters" from April 16 to July 15.

It is said that the types of flowers to be displayed every 10 days will be replaced because many people want to know the appeal of spray mum, which is cultivated in various parts of the country. You can enjoy a total of 4,500 spray mums.

Spray mam is a horticultural variety that has been improved in Western Europe, and is a chrysanthemum that produces many flowers radially on a single stem. There are six types of flower types and blooming methods: "single type", "spider type", "animone type", "bonbon type", "spoon type", and "decora type", and the flower color is rich in pastel colors such as white, yellow, orange, and pink. It is characterized by a large number of flowers and a good shelf life.

There are quite a few Western-style restaurants in Ginza.
Grill Switzerland on Glast Street is the birthplace of cutlet curry.
Actually, I haven't been there yet, so I finally went the other day!


　

　　

A man named Shigeru Chiba of the Giant Army put a cutlet on the curry~
It seems to have started with that.
There is also a menu called "Chiba's cutlet curry" (1350 yen)!

The original cutlet curry (1050 yen) is also a popular menu.

This day was a Valentine's Day Special.
The beef fin cutlet curry was reduced by 200 yen, so I made it.

The meat was also soft and delicious.
However, the cutlet is a pig after all (^^; basically I like cows rather than pigs ...

It seems that there is also a shop in Tsukiji, and the price is a little cheaper there.

The shrimp fried seemed to be delicious, so I'm wondering what to eat next time (laughs).

Finally, the day has come to offer Disney topics on the blog of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

An event commemorating the 110th anniversary of the birth of Walt Disney, the creator of Mickey Mouse and Disneyland, is being held at Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza from April 18 to May 7. It's from ten a.m. to eight p.m.

At the venue, Walt's life is introduced, and valuable original drawings and materials of movies are displayed. Walt's passion for early feature-length anime and the construction of Disneyland is conveyed through images from the time. In addition, limited products for the 110th anniversary of birth are also on sale. It was a great success at around 7:00 pm on the 18th.

 

We quote the words of "Walt Disney's 110th Anniversary Official Website"

 

・・'- Walt Disney is the legend and hero of the 20th century.

In fact, there is no other person in the United States in the 20th century that captured the hearts of as many people as Walt and impressed them as much.

Through his works and characters, Walt's spirit is still handed down, and we continue to convey joy and happiness to all people on earth.

 

I agree

 

The photo shows a statue of Walt and Mickey in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World in Florida. There is also the same statue in Tokyo Disneyland.

 

In addition, there are pictures of Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket statues in the park.

  On April 9, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, I went to the newly built "Tsukuda Terrace" in Paris Square in Tsukuda.

"Tsukuda Terrace" was built as part of the art project "Tokyo In Progress - View from Sumida River" by artist Tadashi Kawamata. It seems to be the second work after "Shioiri Tower" built in Shioiri Park, Tokyo in Arakawa.

Completed on March 20 this year. The exhibition will be held until the end of 2012.

Do you think it's a wooden one and three meters high?
You can go up along the slope, and the upper part has a little space in the observation deck.

You can see Eitai Bridge in front and the Sky Tree in the back, and this object stands at one of the most scenic spots on Tsukuda Island.


It was a nearby kindergarten child, and little children were taken by the teacher and went to observation deck happily.
I was waving my hand on a sightseeing boat going through the Sumida River.

When the wind blew, the building swayed, and the fear of the suspension bridge was a little bit.
A stunning view of the cherry blossoms at Tsukuda Park and Shin-Kawabata.
The weather was good and I was able to have a refreshing time.
