Which bridge do you like? I am Kiyosu Bridge

[Ryokichi] October 31, 2013 18:00

Today, I would like to introduce the scenery of my favorite bridge in Chuo-ku.

Chuo-ku has Sumida River, Nihonbashi River, Kanda River, and other small rivers, and faces the sea, so there are canals and many bridges.

Among them, I love Kiyosu Bridge so much that I often see because it is close to my house.

To briefly introduce the profile of Kiyosu Bridge, it was opened in 1928 and was named Kiyosu Bridge from the street name on the opposite bank of Kiyosumi and Nakasu. suspension bridge has an emphasis on aesthetics from the design stage, seeking the elegance corresponding to the arch of Eitai Bridge. The model is said to be based on the suspension bridge of Rhine, which was once in Cologne. In 2007, along with Kachidokibashi and Eitai Bridge, it was designated as a national important cultural property.

I would like to talk about the scenery of Mihashi with a moderate amount of Noh writing. I like walking and jogging along the Sumida River, and I see various expressions of Kiyosu Bridge. What I particularly like is from evening to night. At Kiyosu Bridge, pink light is lit up (currently until 21:00). The beauty of Kiyosu Bridge has a strong presence while Eitai Bridge is light blue, Kachidokibashi is green, and Shin-ohashi Bridge is yellow and green, each of which has its own individuality. This photo shows Chuo-ku from the Koto-ku side on the opposite bank. On the Koto-ku side, Mannen Bridge and the Basho Memorial Hall Branch Historic Site Observation Garden (there is a statue of Basho) are famous places in the neighborhood, but Kiyosu Bridge seen from those directions is well-balanced, and around Mannen Bridge, Cologne There is an introduction to the view. The expression of the bridge and the expression of the river that can be seen as the sun goes down change every moment. After a while, it looks like a night. It's a bridge that doesn't move, but I think the expression changes with the change in light.

This is a photo taken from the Chuo-ku side. In the morning, the sun rises from the Koto-ku side, so the Chuo-ku side first becomes brighter during that time. The photo is a rare one taken on a snowy day. I had the opportunity and photographed from the angle looking down from above, but the scenery from the terrace of Kawahara is not bad. In fact, Eitai Bridge has a solid impression of the image associated with the shape of the arch, but Kiyosu Bridge does not get tired of the elegant impression coming from the shape of the suspension bridge. It is also understandable that there are times when it is said to be a female impression from the contrast. You can also enjoy Kiyosu Bridge by visiting the bridge from Hamarikyu Park and Asakusa by sightseeing boat. Also, it is important to actually cross the bridge in enjoying the bridge. What can be seen from the bridge, Tokyo Sky Tree, Sumida River Fireworks Festival, Tokyo Bay fireworks festival, next bridge, ships passing through the Sumida River, people walking on the terrace, vehicles running through the bridge, etc. In this way, I enjoyed the various scenery created by the bridge.

I've seen the scenery of Kiyosu Bridge in this way, so I introduced my favorite photos here.

How about Kiyosu Bridge?

It is very nice to have such a historic bridge nearby.

There are many other wonderful bridges in Chuo-ku besides here. Why don't you try to find your favorite bridge?

old folk house Café in Kodemmacho

[Mido] October 30, 2013 14:00

"cafe red" is located very close to Kodemmacho Station, and is healed by the greenery of the garden. 

It's a relaxing old folk house cafe. The store opened in August 2004, but is over 60 years old. 

It seems that people actually lived in the building until 10 years ago. 

The interior of the store is based on wood grain and has a Showa appearance, and has a calm atmosphere from the courtyard. 

You can see the green beautifully. Less than elementary school students in consideration of spending a quiet time 

Children are not allowed to enter the store. 

 

It is also used as a coffee shop in the downtown area in the drama "Newcomer" and the movie "Kirin no Tsubasa", Hiroshi Abe, 

This shop was visited by Tomokazu Miura and Meisa Kuroki for shooting. 

  

The menu includes drinks and sweets, as well as lunch. In addition to daily changes 

There are four types: "Curry Dria", "Mentaiko Dria", and "Chicken and Tofu hamburger". 

1000 yen each. I ordered a hamburger, but it contains tofu. 

It was soft and the chicken was very delicious with no habit. In small bowls, yuba and rapeseed 

It was a combination of shimeji and this was also an elegant taste. 

Female customers were conspicuous, but "Caramel Mitarashi Parfait (850 yen)" 

It seems that there are many people who can come for it. 

  

This cafe is recommended for those who are looking for a "space where you can relax quietly". 

Please drop in.

Introduction of Yanagi Kayo Clinic (Chinese medicine Internal Medicine)

[kimitaku] October 30, 2013 09:00

One of the few in Chuo-ku

 

This is an introduction to Yanagi Kayo Clinic, a specialty clinic specializing in Chinese medicine. 

 

P1000439-1.jpgThe location is located on the third floor of a building that walks a little toward Edobashi from the intersection of Nihonbashi Kaki shellcho 1-chome Tokanbori Street and Shin-ohashi-dori St.

 

I'll ask you.

It is said that the hospital opened in 2008, when it became possible to add "Chinese medicine" to the medical department advocacy (*).

 

 Mr. Kayo Yanagi

 

He worked as an anesthesiologist at Osaka University Hospital for a long time and earned a doctorate, but he met Chinese medicine ten years ago and became able to understand long-standing questions about Western medicine.

P1000440-1.jpg 

 Chinese medicine doesn't deny Western medicine, but wants you to use it together to "take good things."

 You look at the whole person in Chinese medicine, and your body heals yourself, and in that case you have to improve your lifestyle. And if Chinese medicine could help heal the whole body.  You said.    

 

 What are the characteristics of Chinese medicine? : I examine each person and make a different prescription for the same illness and symptoms.

    "The same disease"    That's right.

 

  

 The teacher himself was also in Chinese medicine, and since he recovered his health, he has been more and more involved in the charm of Chinese medicine.

 For patients who have no abnormalities in the test, but are somehow in poor physical condition or suffer from atopic, allergies, diabetes, etc.

     I hope you will feel free to contact us.

How to make a reservation, etc. (Actually, I am also a patient at our clinic.)

I couldn't feel well, so I decided to have a medical examination at "Yanagi Kayo Kuriniri Nic" in early spring.

When you call, you need to make a reservation, and before that, please fill out the medical questionnaire in detail. After filling out the form, send it to our hospital

On the day, the teacher looked seriously at the contents filled out, and asked me, about 40 minutes that time. After receiving a prescription, I go to the hospital about once a month. From the second time, the medical hours will be completed in about 15 minutes.

 "Thanks to you, it's completely recovered now. I can't catch the case.

 "Don't drink cold things, get up early," may have been good to follow the instructions. )

Recommended for shopping at Chuo-ku Antenna Shop

[Silver] October 29, 2013 14:00

  The stamp rally antenna shop in Chuo-ku started on October 3 this year, but Ginzo has been celebrating its fifth year. 

After all, "Dandan", which I learned several years ago, is probably selected for this year's buzzword award.

There is a warm atmosphere of each store you visit, and it's a bit "Oh! The antenna shop in Fukuoka Prefecture also opened in Ginza this year.

It's Chuo-ku, full of fun things.

  Today, I went to "I brought Hakodate" in LAWSON stores in Kyobashi and "Iwate Ginga Plaza" in Higashiginza, which celebrated the 15th anniversary of its opening.

 

Hakodate is located in Hokkaido, and it is not necessary to say again, but in the words of the song, it is

 

 It is famous for the sub-chan's "Hakodate Woman", which begins with Chanchara LaLa LaLa LaLa LaLa LaLa La LaLa La La, but

Here in Lawson's shop in Kyobashi, "I brought Hakodate" means "even if I don't go all the way" or "I don't have to overcome the reverse waves."

You can easily buy Hakodate's specialty products 24 hours a day. I'm really happy.

Please click here for more information.  http://www.city.hakodate.hokkaido.jp/keizai/shougyou/bussan_boueki/hakodatemottekimasita/index.html

And "Iwate Ginga Plaza" in Higashiginza.

It is said that it will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year.

Today, I bought "Kuji no Mamebu Juice" from Iwate Prefecture, which became famous nationwide for NHK's morning drama program "Amachan".

Tomorrow, with the eldest couple and granddaughter, they wanted to taste plenty of the tastes of Hokkaido and Tohoku, and to bite the value and happiness of family bonds.

Ikameshi is famous, but "Ikajaga"! I'm looking forward to seeing what it tastes. Click here for more information about "Iwate Ginga Plaza". http://www.iwate-ginpla.net/

Please purchase the tastes from all over Japan at the antenna shop and enjoy it.
