  Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture is one of the leading producers of towels in Japan.

Recently, cotton has a reputation for being gentle on the skin and being warm.

There is a shop that sells such towel products near Tokyo Metro Higashi Ginza Station.

The name is "Imabari Bath", the reading method, and the English name is imabari yokkin.

Towel fabric muffler which is gentle to skin. I'm using it right away.

And this is what I thought was good!

When I say "Pie Le Mans Thor" and think it's a bit chilly, I put my hand from my shoulder to my arm and put it on.

That's the price of less than 2,000 yen.

Because it is small when you go out, you can put it in your bag.

I think it will be useful when the air conditioning is too effective on the train.

In addition, wonderful towel products such as bathrobes and robes are sold.

The address is Ginza 4-13-8 Sophia Square Ginza 1.

It is located on the first floor of the building in front of the restaurant "Ginnoto" from Higashi-Ginza Station.

The peony in the park is said to be about 800 plants of 60 species.

Peony is a deciduous Ogi of the Button family native to China.

Shakuyaku, the herb of the same family, blooms later.

From April to May, full of greenery, it is splendid to attach a large flower with a diameter of 20 cm, worthy of the name of the queen of garden trees. Also known as "Fukikusa" and "Fumigusa", and the English name is "Pionony".

It has a long history of breeding, and there are many variations of horticultural varieties.

The flower color is also rich in purple, red purple, black red, red (red), light red, white, and yellow, and "covering rings (the outer edge is bordered with a different color from the ground)" and "bottom red (the bottom of the petals) There are also flower patterns such as dark red) and "squeezing".

Walking around Harumi Park, where the cherry blossoms are scattered, the quay is noisy.

They all line up on the deck and head to each place under command.

 Onboard broadcasting, we are going to prepare for the departure. Everyone is moving quickly in each place.

　On the quay, port staff in yellow clothes wait on their respective mooring ropes and wait for the support of the captain.

　From the park behind I heard the sound of "Japanese white-eye" and "Japanese bush warbler". The park is somehow peaceful.

　When I asked the port staff about the destination of the ship, he smiled and said, "I don't know where to go." .

Shortly after, a "tugboat" arrived from Takeshiba on the opposite bank.

I put a rope on "Teryo Maru" and started pulling it. Then the mooring rope was removed and the preparation for departure was completed.

"Bou" a huge whistle roars in the sky.

  The whistle shook his whole body and brought me back completely from the fall of spring.

Then, led by a towing boat, "Teryo Maru" passed through the Rainbow Bridge and headed to the open sea.

"Teryo Maru" seems to be heading for a survey of fisheries resources in the Pacific Ocean. And the port staff in yellow clothes also disappeared somewhere with a yellow port ship, and the towing boat heads directly to Takeshiba Wharf.

　Occasionally, you can see such a boating scene at Harumi Wharf.
