2020 Tokyo Olympics•According to the Paralympic Bidding Committee, the athlete village is as follows.

 

The land is owned by Tokyo Metropolitan Government in Harumi, which is built by private businesses under the supervision of Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

 

Design that incorporates comfort and fun

 

The number of beds to be prepared in the athlete village is 16,000 to meet NOC requirements and 1,000 to be available to additional officers if necessary.

Japan's Olympic Games with experience staying in the Olympic Village, one of the leading construction companies in Japan•The main features of the athlete village planned with the cooperation of experts with experience in operating the Paralympic athlete village are as follows.

 

１： Convenience and efficiency

 

Each residential zone is divided into three blocks, and the central transportation mall and main dining hall are effectively located within a maximum of 550 meters from each residential building, and can arrive within a 6-minute walk.

A resident center and NOC office will be located in the residential building, and common facilities that will be a place for players to gather will be located along the center of the athlete village and along the coastal promenade.

 

２： Safety and security

 

Because three sides are covered by the sea, the athlete village is equipped with an intrusion prevention floating with advanced video analysis in the surrounding intruder exclusion area, and the athlete village sexuality in the residential zone.•Continue monitoring at the command center.

In the operation of athlete village sexuality, both elements of sea and land will be provided as a countermeasure against unauthorized intruders.

The athlete village has a soft sex zone on the land side, and is protected by a double fence that isolates the soft sex area and the athlete village itself.

Goods brought to the staff entering the athlete village are to pass a screening inspection similar to the airport, and by using a nearby logistics screening site, congestion is prevented at a vehicle checkpoint unique to the athlete village.

Set up separate fences between the residential zone and the other zones of the athlete village to regulate access to ensure the privacy and safety of residents.

The accommodation building is designed to allow residents to enjoy the wonderful views of Tokyo Bay and the surrounding green environment.

The other day, an acquaintance appeared, so I went to Ginza Noh Theater. Located alongside Sony Building along outer moat Street (Ginza 6-chome 5-15).

This Noh theater is located on the 8th floor of a building with window features, so it is the tallest Noh theater.

Furthermore, since it is located in a place with a high land price in Ginza, it is the highest "Noh theater" in Japan in two ways.

Kanze Noh Theater in Shoto, Shibuya Ward, is a redevelopment complex on the site of Matsuzakaya in 2016.
It will move with the completion of the building.

 

Ginza is the land where the residence of the Kinshun family, who was a Noh actor directly under the Shogunate during the Edo period.
Speaking of Noh, the era of Ginza may come in the future.

 

 

 

The weather is quite autumn.

I was invited by the fresh air and went for a walk.

Speaking of walking in Chuo-ku ... After all, it's "Gin Bra"!

This day is a holiday! Chuo-dori in Ginza is a pedestrian paradise.

The scenery of Ginza is changing every moment,

The symbol of Ginza 4-chome intersection is still alive.

If you look around, you will find that hot topic and famous brand shops lined up.

As expected, it was the lively atmosphere of Ginza.

Today, we are going straight on Chuo-dori and aiming for Nihonbashi.

On the way, pass through Kyobashi, and you will find a monument to the birthplace of Edo Kabuki!

It's Nihonbashi Takashimaya, which I've seen as going further.

I'm going on.

Finally, Nihonbashi!

The Kirin statue in the center of the bridge is a popular shooting spot as ever.

When you cross the bridge, you can see the topic of Cored Muromachi.

But... there is a very busy place next to it...

It was "Nihonbashi Shimanekan"!

Are you the fever of that player who was very active in the U.S. Open? It's a great success!

"Shimanekko" and enter inside,

What! An empty case...

Or maybe the “root” has been sold out?

The lion on the other side was a little surprised...

As mentioned above, walking in Chuo-ku in autumn was full of highlights!

 

 

　From September 1st to 6th, the "Shadow Box Mrs. Yabuki Works Exhibition" was held at St. Luke's First Gallery.

This is the first time I hear the word "shadow box". I saw the work with interest. First of all, I was struck by the words of the greeting.

    　　　　 Greetings

Thank you very much for visiting the exhibition of Shadow Box Mrs. Yabuki Akie's work exhibition.

When I held my first solo exhibition, I was very confused about which works to display.

Each work has its own memories, and it reminds me of the 33 years since I started the shadow box.

Thank you for being very happy to be able to present this way.

We hope that you will have a memorable time.

Please take a look at it.

And welcome board at the entrance

In the work, the same picture is cut and pasted up and down to give a three-dimensional feeling, and it has a very heavy feeling.

When I saw some of the works from the front,

When I saw the work diagonally,

I was a very elegant and gentle teacher, and I wanted to learn it.
