I want to see the sea.

In such a case, the Harumi Pier Passenger Terminal is a recommended spot.

Due to poor transportation, there are few people and you can monopolize the view.

Why don't you get up a little early and come to Harumi after jogging?

Soft morning sun, refreshing sea breeze, blue sea.

They grow greatly while feeling them.

Harumi will be an athlete's village during the Tokyo Olympics.

Please come by all means.

 

When you feel like you want to see the sea,

is a recommended spot.

A sparsely-populated region due to inconvenient transport,

yet be able to enjoy uninterrupted sea views.

Why not get up a bit earlier and stop by for a while

when you are jogging around Harumi?

Gentle morning sun,

refreshing sea breeze,

and the deep blue sea.

Please try to fully stretch yourself while feeling them.

Harumi is selected as one of the sites for Olympic Village

for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Why not have a visit here first before the Olympics?

 

Whether or not you have a special view of the sea?

At this time, Harumi Passenger Ship Together, Fujiyuki.

Inconvenience of traffic, the ruin of people.

Joya's reason, Tokufuku, Jono's German Toru Mikage.

It's a good idea to get up.

Are you looking at Harumi?

In the morning, calm, sea breeze, deep sea water.

At any time you enjoy it, you will not be able to enjoy it.

Harumi in Tokyo Okubayashi Kazukatsu, a general work in Okubayashi village during the exhibition period.

What's the difference?

 

 

 

Handmade "City Walk" (Part 1)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] May 21, 2015 15:00

Today is the "town walk".

 
1) On weekends, go to Kabukiza Kiboricho Square, which is directly connected to Higashiginza Exit 3 of the Hibiya Line.

The Kabukiza Japanese lantern, a large Kantei style character, was a landmark, and a wind chime was hung.
Preparing for summer, first of all, please have a pleasant sound.

2) Go south on Showa-dori 2 blocks in the direction of Tsukiji, theater Street.

I can't go on May 21-24 of this year, so if I can tell the atmosphere with last year's photos, I'd like you.

3) By the way, if you walk around Shin-ohashi-dori St. at Tsukiji 4-chome, aiming for Tsukiji Outer Market, foreign tourists will stand out.
There are a lot of sushi restaurants here, but I have many foreigners.

A tuna seafood wholesaler who has his own seri number called "Tsukijikan no".
I had this bowl. (900 yen)

4) "Hamarikyu Onshi Garden" is located next to Tsukiji Market, where you are hungry.

During the Edo period, at the time of the Shogun's annex and the Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune, Shirazo, who walked from Nagasaki in 1729, lived here.
Green and ponds (there is also a seawater pond because they are connected to Tokyo Bay) and a cup in teahouse are the best for holidays on weekends.

5) Finally, return to Tsukiji Honganji Temple at Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line.

I will visit here and get a different bill every month and return home. It can be used for book bookmarks.

From now on, I would like to take care of the heat and do my best.

 

 

 

The 130th anniversary fair is being held-Ginza Kyobunkan

1. May 21, 2015 09:00

I was shocked by the news of the closure of Ikebukuro Libro and went to Kyobunkan for the first time in a long time. I'm relieved to the store that doesn't change. Recently, the use of online bookstores has been mainly used, and I haven't stepped into bookstores for nearly a month! I'm surprised to notice that. When I was a worker, I looked into "two or three times a week." ・・ ・ It is true that online bookstores are convenient and arrive on the day of order as soon as possible! In addition, there are also information on the series of purchased books and "a little careless things" such as "the person who bought this book also buys such a book." However, when you want to buy it after examining the contents, it is still a bit ... When you enter the bookstore after a long absence, just look at the books piled up on the platform and clearly see "What people in the world are currently interested in?" ... It is difficult to feel such things.

Kyobunkan was founded as a publisher and bookstore of Christianity in 1885 (1885) and commemorates its 130th anniversary this year, and is currently holding a special feature on "Bestsellers by Age" as the "Kyobunkan 130th Anniversary Fair". On the wall of the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor, strips of the best-selling list from 1885 (1885) to 2014, photographs of the time, colored paper of artists lined up, and the best-selling books at the entrance of the second floor There are available in the book. When I was a student, I felt like I was looking at the list of books and books, both 10 years ago. And the book of the real thing shows the pride that has survived for 10 years, saying, "I'm still active." It is a good project that can not be overlooked by book lovers.

Ginza Kyobunkan It opened at 10:00 from April.

The fair will be held until June 30.

"Midori" shop [PIANTA × STANZA showroom]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 20, 2015 09:00

While strolling through the Shinkawa area, I found a shop with an impactful store that would stop unintentionally on the south side of Eitai-dori St.

The facade is overflowing with "green"

piant1.JPG

A signboard saying "PIANTA x STANZA" was appearing.

piant2.JPG

It was said that it opened last year in a showroom of a company that coordinates interiors and exteriors using plants, mainly on wall greening, when I can't go through it, and when I enter the shop.

The showroom is also full of green.

piant3.JPG

The name of the shop "PIANTA x STANZA" is Italian and means "plant x space", and the concept of the company is "Let's live with the garden".

We also sell green items (plants) limited to stores.

If you have "green" in your living space, you can relax.

piant4.JPG

The address of this showroom is 1-9-3 Shinkawa.

Business hours are from 11:00 to 20:00 (closed on Thursday).

If you are near here, please stop by.

Just being surrounded by "green" in the showroom will be healed.

It seems that there will be a showroom on the rooftop this summer.

Please note that photography in the showroom has been approved in advance.

The explanation of the staff of the shop was also very easy to understand. Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m

Isamu Yoshii and Nihonbashi

[CAM] May 20, 2015 09:00

 I studied a little bit about the history of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and learned that when the former Nihonbashi-ku and the former Kyobashi-ku were integrated in 1947, the former Nihonbashi-ku, which surpasses history and tradition, showed a sense of resistance to the integration with the new Kyobashi-ku, and I felt a great sympathy about the feelings of Nihonbashi-ko.

 

 According to various materials, in Nihonbashi Ward, before the war, especially before the Great Kanto Earthquake, both husbands and servants live together, and husbands line up desks at local elementary schools, etc. You seem to have a close sense of unity in the region. It seems that the son-in-law was customary, and it seems that a community similar to "Semba" in Osaka was formed.

 

 More than 10 years before the birth of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Junichirou Tanizaki, who was born and raised in Nihonbashi, said, "The worst thing about the reconstruction of Nihonbashi after the Great Kanto Earthquake is the fate of Nihonbashi children. The traces of their homes are included in the sphere of influence in Kyobashi Ginza Marunouchi ... "("Omofu Tokyo" and "Chuo Koron" from January to April 1997).

 

In addition, Isamu Yoshii (1886-1960)

 

I think sorrowfulness of Nihonbashi in my own way ("until yesterday")

 

 I'm singing. Isamu Yoshii doesn't seem to be born or raised in Nihonbashi like Tanizaki, but it seems that he wrote a lot of songs around Nihonbashi and Nihonbashi. And later (1938), I moved to Kansai (Kyoto). In Kansai, it seems that there was a friendship with Tanizaki and Jun Kawada. I misunderstood Isamu Yoshii as a Kansai person from the famous song, "When I sleep in the crab, Gion goes down on the pillow." It seems that the Earl came out, but he has dropped out of the prefectural government. Did the above song compare the setbacks of your life to the subsidence of the power of the Nihonbashi area? "Until yesterday" was published in 1913.
