 "Every Wednesday, turn off the lights and have a slow night!"

On Wednesday, July 25, August 1, 8, and 15, PET bottle candle night is held around Harumi Triton "Water Terrace" Pop Jet Fountain.

It is said that the pattern produced by the candlelight changes every day the event is held. By the way, July 25 is "Olympic", August 1 is "dolphins".

Participants handwritten original candles are displayed on the side of the cobblestone stairs leading to the "Flower Terrace".

Lighting time is from 16:30 to 20:30.

The Petit Fireworks Festival is scheduled from 19:30 on each Friday of July 27, August 3, 10, and 17. 

Today, I came to the Ginza Capital Hotel New Building in Tsukiji with my friends.

Here, as of today, all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat for 90 minutes, it offers fun and delicious food at a very extraordinary price of ¥ 1,980.　I don't want to teach silver. For more information, please check here. http://www.ginza-capital.co.jp/

 
On the 28th (Saturday), "Platto Tsukiji" opened as a general information center for Tsukiji Outer Market.

The place is in a building lined with Sensha bills on the right from Shin-ohashi-dori St. toward Namiki Shrine.

"I came to the Tsukiji market I saw on TV and magazines, but there are too many shops and I don't know where it is," or "What is a souvenir of Tsukiji?" I sometimes hear voices such as, but it is a place that I can't hope for for these people.

The name "Platto" has two meanings: the basis (platform) for disseminating information on the Tsukiji Outer Market, and the fact that you want Tsukiji to come casually. He seems to have been selected from many applications.

When you enter, there is a large map on the wall, and at the information desk next to it, you can make inquiries and get a map, but there are also pamphlets for foreigners.
We also sell goods, so you can use this as a souvenir.

In addition, there is a smoking area (relaxing lounge) in the toilets and rest areas for full smoking, so you can rest slowly after you are tired of shopping.

By the way, in principle, the “in-house market” is a Sunday holiday and a few Wednesdays a month, but some “out-of-office market” is always open, so this “Platto Tsukiji” It seems that it is open from 8:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 14:00 on holidays. (We plan to close during the year-end and New Year holidays)

At the grand opening ceremony, 500 people will receive a cold storage bag by lottery.

I was able to win and receive it.

It's quite big and I'm looking forward to going to Tsukiji from now on.

On Sunday, July 22, which was unusually cool, the annual "Nihonbashi Washing" was held!

This is a plain but quite impressive event where local companies and children participate together and literally clean the bridge together. My workplace is also wearing a matching happi coat.♪

From Chibikko with deck brushes to adults, men and women of all ages is here and there, and fire brigade members discharge water from the pump car. It's quite easy to cooperate and the skill is good. As expected, Edo kid! It's so powerful.

This is the brave figure of the fire brigade members! Some of the little kids who were staring at the work around here all the time after washing the bridge. I don't have the opportunity to see such a scene up close.

Of course, this precious water uses reused water.

And after the bridge has become shiny, it's like this! At the same time, both Kitazume and Minamizume discharge water! This dynamic scene, everyone was crazy about taking pictures. At this time, the driver who was running on the highway noticed something ... (laughs)

In this way, Nihonbashi has become beautiful again this year. Even after 100 years, it is a symbol of this town where the affection of the local people is fully poured!

　The Tsukiji Honganji Noryo Bon Dance Festival will be held from 19:00 every evening from August 1 to 4 (from 18:00 on Saturday).　It is a very fun Bon Dance Festival, and local restaurants and restaurants open simulation shops on the grounds of the temple, where you can enjoy a lot of delicious food.

In the past Bon Dance Festival, I enjoyed it like this. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2009/08/post-127.html Please go out when the evening is cool.
