I'm 100 years old! (Lion statue of a lion in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi)

[Grandpa] April 15, 2014 14:00

                  

The Nihonbashi area is bustling with the opening of Coredo Muromachi 2-3.

The Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store is located across Chuo-dori from Choredo Muromachi.
 

The building of this main building is said to be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

Open in March of this year (2014) with Koledo Muromachi of Hoyahoya.

Mitsukoshi, who was completed 100 years ago (1914), is facing each other in the same place.

That's a good thing.

 
And speaking of Mitsukoshi, that's right a lion statue.

At the front entrance of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, two lions will welcome us at any time.

And the lions are also 100 years old this year.

On this day, we celebrated the Lions' 100 years old.

A lion in costume and even a golden lion statue appeared.

The event was held grandly.

Congratulations to the Lions!

I look forward to seeing you!
