Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　Invited by cherry blossoms in full bloom and warm weather, I went to an event in front of Nihonbashi Plaza Building during lunch break.

　In this open space, we often hold various events such as product exhibitions all over the country, and you can enjoy it quite well.

　The event on this day was the "Traffic Safety Fair" at the Central Police Station.

　A car that experienced a traffic accident came and publicized the importance of seat belts.

　If you look around the venue, you will see the Nihonbashi Fire Station earthquake experience car on the opposite side.

　Why isn't it a traffic safety fair? When I asked him ...

　"I'm working hard together with my friends who keep the safety of the local people!"

　What a reliable word!  

　I am convinced that Chuo-ku, where many people come and go every day, is a safe and secure town.

　At the venue, police and fire mascots also experienced the earthquake of "seismic intensity 7" and played a major role in PR! !

　I asked each person in charge about the safety points.

　<Traffic accidents>

　☆When you get in the car, don't forget your seat belt!

　☆Pedestrians should check the safety on the left and right when crossing!

　<Earthquake>

　☆In the event of an earthquake, the top priority is to protect yourself!

　☆In preparation for an earthquake, furniture is made with fall prevention equipment.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Let's fix it!

　Let's practice Chuo-ku so that it becomes a safer and more secure town.  

On April 12, Yoshino cherry tree in Hatoba Park was in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms danced in the spring breeze, and the Sumida River was taking the remnants of spring like a canvas.

Ginzo is the first sight I saw.

I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms next year.

There is a cafe in Ginza that is morning until 13:00!

I'm happy when I want to eat a little bit at lunchtime.★

I made a reservation for Sibon at 11:30 on this day, and it was 13:10 before.

Oh, you may still be able to go! I arrived at the shop 5 minutes ago (*^^*)

It is located next to the Madras shoe store along Harumi-dori St., which is also close to the intersection of Ginza 4-chome.

The appearance is cute and the inside is cute.

When you go down the stairs, the right is completely separated from the non-smoking seat and the left is the smoking seat.

The morning till 13 o'clock is 480 yen.

This product contains waffles, toasts, salads and drinks.

Depending on the drink, it costs 520 yen or the price changes.

I made lemon tea and waffles.

Freshly baked waffles are delicious ~ (* ^^ *) I am satisfied because it is thick!

I went out thinking that the cherry blossoms had fallen due to the rain and wind on April 11, but the cherry blossoms in the park near my home were still in full bloom.

But the road is full of cherry blossom petals.

The weather was fine and a little sweaty on April 12th.

I've seen the "Vermeer Hikari Kingdom Exhibition" held from January 20 to July 22 on the 5th floor of "Ginza Sotoko Toro Lotus Hall" behind Ginza 5-chome Matsuzakaya.
　　

Host: Vermeer Center Ginza, Kirakusha, Kosaido, Yomiuri Shimbun, Dentsu

Supervised: Shinichi Fukuoka (Molecular Biologist)

Admission fee: 1,000 yen

Opening: From 10:00 to 18:00

Closed: First and third Monday

37 items recognized as Vermeer's works, including works that have been stolen and have not yet been found, are reproduced in full size with the colors of the time. The shape of the canvas fabric was copied, and I felt like I saw a real picture.

In particular, the expensive "Lapis Lazuli" that Vermeer liked to use was vivid.

It is said that this reproduction (recreate) is being carried out with the latest digital mastering technology. There was an explanation panel at the venue for recreate.

The real thing is sometimes seen in Japan, but since it is an exhibition of about 1 to 3 points, it is wonderful that all his paintings can be seen even though it is reproduced like this .
It was exhibited by age of production, and it was good to understand the transition of his production.
Even though it was a weekday, quite a few people came to see it.
　

In addition, the full-scale "Vermeer's Atelier" was also reproduced, and some people took a commemorative photo here.

If you are interested or not in Vermeer, we recommend that you take a look.

It's a wonderful reproduction technology. It was said that the exhibition after July 22 has not been decided so far.

On April 9 (Monday), I brought a digital camera for the first time and hit the cherry blossoms in full bloom and went to shoot the actual performance. .

First of all, I visited the shore along the Sumida River in front of St. Luke Garden, because it is a good place for transportation.

Despite the time of 8:00 am, there are many visitors, and it is 100% of the famous cherry blossom spot.

It was a satisfying landscape.

Take the Edo bus again and get off in front of the Senior Center, because the light ray conditions are bad in shade.

Cross the Aioi Bridge from Okawabata, look on the Harumi Canal to your left, and see the row of cherry blossom trees in Shinkawa on the other side.

I walked along the course to Eitai Bridge.

Crossing Eitai Bridge and walking along the bank to Chuo-ohashi Bridge, I was satisfied with the cherry blossoms that felt like a cherry blossom tunnel.  

Passing through Chuo-ohashi Bridge, the scenery of the bridge from Shinkawa Disaster Prevention Pier toward Ishikawajima Lighthouse is a masterpiece.

This scenery is suitable for decorating the finale of cherry blossom viewing.

I went on a 15,000 walk of cherry blossoms this time.  

The back street of Ginza Sony Building,

On the 4th floor of the Kamata Building (1st floor is a soba restaurant iketani)

"Bozar Mu" means "

It is an irresistible gallery for cat lovers, exhibiting works related to cats throughout the year.

From April 16 (Mon) to 22 (Sun)

Shonoro Yamanaka, a graduate of a local Ginza junior high school.

A solo exhibition depicting his cat, Motosan, who died last year.

"I'm full of energy!" That's right.

Former announcer Yuko Emon, a former announcer who died of cancer, rabbits in the picture book `` Rabbit Yuk '' by Yuko Emon, cats, dogs, owls, and other small animals that make you want to hug unintentionally. Regarding "Moto-san", he drew his blog with a special deep affection so that he could make his blog title "Genki no Gen".
 　

This time, unpublished early works will be exhibited, focusing on new works drawn after "Motosan" departing, and I think that you can feel his strong desire for "Motosan".

In Yamanaka's solo exhibition, you can not only see the work, but also have a very enjoyable time chatting with another customer who happened to be present.
If you like cats, please come and visit us.
