On August 22, a major Japanese shipping company Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, an ocean-going cruise liner : **:Nippon Maru: **:, can be 8-|toured free of charge. The photo shows a photo taken by Yurikamome-san while anchored at Harumi Wharf.

 Nippon Maru has a total tonnage of 21,903 tons, a hull length of about 160 m, and a passenger capacity of 600. There is only a cruise liner called a "moving hotel", and not only the facilities on board but also the reception of the staff who respond is close to Concierge, a leading hotel. In the story you explained,

1) The cruise fee includes meals, but now a quiz on how many meals restaurantare offered a day? If you calculate a light meal before breakfast, breakfast, tea and sweets servicecafe, lunch, afternoon teacake, dinner, and then dinner, you can enjoy the mealrestaurant nine times.

2) If you eat too much, there is an athletic facility on board. Don't worry.

3) There is also a pool, and it seems that hotels in the city center are moving.

4) A quiz about what is piled up in a lifeboat for emergency removal. In addition to food and water, what! It is said that fishing gear fishis also installed as equipment. 

5) There is a casino on board, where you can enjoy blackjack and roulette. However, cash cannot be redeemed for cash. You will get a prize. It's a bit like Las Vegas.

Kobikido Bookstore

[Apricot peony] August 24, 2012 08:30

I've heard rumors since the opening of the store, but I didn't go all the time because I was afraid of getting stuck in the dotbo.
But after all, I went there.

ck1203_1208231.jpg
The shop is a used bookstore specializing in Kabuki, movies, and theater, "Kindo Bookstore".

Enter the road between Kabukiza and Bunmeido, climb the stairs next to the door of Akaneya Coffee Shop, and you will find a treasure mountain!
For those who love Kabuki, theater, and old Japanese movies, it's a place you won't get tired of hours.


Mr. Kobayashi, the owner, came to Okumura Shoten, which was behind Matsuya.
Okumura Shoten, which started with a night shop in Ginza after the war and was famous for having a rich assortment of Kabuki, classical performing arts, and theater related products, appeared in celebrities' essays, etc., but stopped by on the way back from Kabukiza I think some people may come.

Okumura Shoten mainly focused on used books, but this also has a wide selection of posters, flyers, bromides, colored paper, etc.
It takes a little courage to look for a pile of piles from the floor without being able to fit in the shelf, but just looking at the surface! If you have such a thing, you'll just forget the time.
However, I heard that there was not much smell of paper unique to old books, and if Kobayashi-san, the owner, wanted to do two things if he was independent and became free, one was incense. By burning, the other is playing music.
That's why the scent of incense drifted slightly, and the BGM flowing was Ryuichi Sakamoto.

When I told the shopkeeper Kobayashi, "I knew that it was opened here, but I had a lot of things I wanted and I was sorry for my eyes, so I didn't come until now." I often hear that story.
But you can feel free to come," he said, "and went along with a play with no other love.
Because he is relatively young, he feels a little different from the traditional image of "a used bookstore shopkeeper who is silent and difficult to handle".
When asked for a regular holiday, he said, "When I'm doing a Kabuki performance, I'm free in principle.
That's why it was hard at the time of Sarunosuke's attack (laughs), "but the details are posted on the website, so I would like you to look there.

Le Chat Sourian, Le Chat Srioon

[Silver] August 23, 2012 15:00

Cafe Bar Bistro Restaurant "Le chat souriant" is a sister store of Ginza Lecan L'e crin, which opened in October 2011 in Ginza 2-4-5. You can enjoy lunch on the week day for around 1,000 yen. Today, after the silver bra up to 8-chome, I ordered a holiday lunch course of ¥2,300, and enjoyed a very reasonable dish. When it comes to ¥2,300, the salad will be hors d'oeuvres with shrimp, squid, scallop and white fish. The main one is today's fresh fish or Oyama chicken breast meat panel. Today, I ordered a stout saute.

The dessert was selected from 4 types, and the cafe' was also delicious.

At night, there is only a sister store of Ginza Lecan, so it's a reasonable price. Valuable, holiday lunch, try winkit! In addition, the meaning of the store name is The smile cat in English. http://www.lecringinza.co.jp/lechatsouriant/

 

 

The Confectionery ★A candy store in Ginza

[Mapo ★] August 23, 2012 08:30

Did you know that there is a candy shop on Harumi-dori St. in Ginza?

It's very old~ (*^^*)


 


Idol bromide? There was also a storm!

I was surprised that pachin gum is still being produced!

It's a magic sword, a guy who makes balloons with straws.


 


There are still quite a few sweets I had when I was a child.

Maybe I know it's not so delicious in terms of quality.

I miss it and want to eat it (laughs).


 


This is 100 yen!


 


When I visited around November last year, the regular holiday is around the moon, and the weekend is open.

I heard that it was open on Monday the other day.

The owner seems to be doing a study cram school.

We walk tech-tech at the intersection of Ginza 4-chome (Mitsukoshi side) toward Showa-dori.

On the left right after crossing the new building in Mitsukoshi★


 

 

Around the public bath in Chuo-ku⑤

[Satoken] August 22, 2012 13:00

The end of the public bath in Chuo-ku is nearing the end. There are four more places.

This time, we will introduce Kotobuki-yu in Tsukiji and Kachidoki-yu in Kachidoki.

Kotobukiyu is located in Tsukiji 6-chome, close to Ginza and Tsukiji Market, not only local people but also nearby.

I felt like some of the workers were coming.

Next is Kachidoki Yu. It is located underground in the apartment, and the entrance and front are rather than a public bath.

It looks like a spa, but the bathroom is a regular public bath except for the sauna and cold water bath.

I feel like it. The tiles have a decoration reminiscent of a ship window and are stylish. Temperature of bath

It was 41°C, but it was summer, so I felt hot.

Two more places are Minato-yu and Hinode-yu. Please enjoy visiting the public bath for summer memories.

Please.

 

 

The night in which Iyemon lurks

[Koedo Itabashi] August 22, 2012 08:30

The summer homecoming season has passed.

I sometimes hear the sound of insects in the grass.

Still burning sunlight, and the reflection seemed to be somehow.

 

When the wind containing plenty of heat stops, sweat will still ooze even if you sleep.

In such a sleepless night, the ghost story and the market price are fixed.

In the past, movie theaters had a signboard depicting the scene of the screening.

The picture of the mysterious story filled with poisonous oil paint suddenly appeared in the light, and it was crunchy.

During the screening period, I was consciously careful not to pass in front of the movie theater.

 

I think "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is the one that reigns at the top of the many ghost stories.

Kabuki Kyogen by the fourth generation Nanboku Tsuruya.

Each time you get a reputation and repeat it, various tastes are incorporated.

Returning the door plate, passing through the Japanese lantern, being poisoned ... just thinking of it is scary.

 

It has evolved by being featured in performances such as rakugo of Sanyutei Encho, as well as in numerous movies and TV dramas.

Each time, it increases its terrificness, becomes cute, and becomes full.

 

There is also a shrine in Chuo Ward that enshrines the main character, Oiwa-sama.

Tamiya Oiwa Inari Shrine in Shinkawa 2-chome.

It is said that the mansion of the Tamiya family, the family of Yotsuya Samoncho, was burned down and moved in 1879.

Momodoishi, which is designated as a tangible ethnic cultural property of the inhabitants, was dedicated by the first Udanji Ichikawa to commemorate the performance.

It is close to Shintomiza, and it is said that it was worshiped by the Hanayanagi world and Kabuki officials and was crowded.

 

The story is a spin-off of the legendary kyogen "Chushingura", an out-of-the-counter version of the summer version.

Compared to Ako Gishi on the front, the thorough back of Iyemon, the same ronin, would be pleasant to play if he was an actor.

The more evil you put out, the more shading the darker the character setting.

Iyemon, an unrighteous husband who pushed the rock to the rocks in the national ward.

Oh. The dark part of the heart resonates.
