Oktoberfest is the world's largest festival held in Munich, the capital of Bayern Province, Germany, held from mid-September to early October, and about 6 million people visit the venue every year (about 9 times the size of Tokyo Dome). Last year, about seven million liters of beer were consumed.

It seems that the trigger was in 1810, when the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Sachsen was celebrated by many Munich citizens.

 

In Japan, it seems that it was held in Hibiya City and the Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama in 2003, and now it is called the "German Beer Festival" and is being held nationwide while changing the venue from spring to autumn.

 

In this autumn season, there is also a German beer restaurant in Ginza where you can enjoy the feeling of Oktoberfest.

We will introduce "German Beer & Wine Specialty Store Stein House Ginza" (2-4-6 Ginza, Chuo-ku) on the 8th floor of the Ginza Bellvia Building facing Namiki-dori St.

 

You can enjoy direct imported German beer and German premium wine.

German beer has many kinds and different tastes, and the glass is deep because there are glasses dedicated to the beer.

(The photo below shows ice wine)

 

The interior is a stylish space with furniture goods imported from Western Europe.

There is also a bar counter where you can enjoy beer or taste ham sausages imported directly from Germany.

 

I ordered "Ice Bine" (the King of German Cuisine), "Boilweisven (white sausage)" (Munich's specialty), "The Work Laut" (compatible with sausage), and "Black truffle-flavored French fries" (always delicious).

"That. What is it?"

"Weird things are running. ・A bus?"

The children stopped at the point where they pointed was a red line drawn on the yellow ground.

It was a wrapping bus with a train-like coloring.

We've never got on the Toden running in the city where the trolley line stretched.

Near the center of the road, the track extends to an area solidified with paving stones, from the overhead line.

I use a long trolley pole to drive with electricity.

Oh! I've got on the Toden.

Oh, it's Arakawa Line.

A tram that is active only in one line in Tokyo.

Near the Oji Kita-ku, the tracks pass through the road.

The appearance of climbing Asuka-zaka, which has been curved, with a roar engine sound, is

There is something powerful.

　

The Toden-style wrapping bus was introduced by Sam on the correspondent blog on October 24.

This is one of the events of "Tokyo Station-Nihonbashi Showa Retro Tour" that gave me.

The service is scheduled for three days, October 31 (Sat), November 1 (Sun), and November 3 (holiday).

It runs from 11:00 to 19:00. The fare is free.

There are Tokyo Station and Ningyocho courses, and there are Choredo Muromachi and Ningyocho amazake Yokocho entrance.

It will be a replacement point for passengers.

　

The wrapping bus is called the Toden 6000 type.

Oh!　I'm not a Toden Mania, but one place just in the front of the nose.

If you were given a replica of a large headlight, the real feeling may have doubled.

Certainly, the 6000 shape is nicknamed "Ichikyu-san".

It came from the fact that there was a single ball of the headlight.

There is also a walking map of the event held until November 3 and a mount for commemorative replica hard tickets.

The picture is full of retro feeling and very cute.

A replica hard ticket that imitates an old railway ticket can be obtained at six locations and one by one.

There are a total of 6 types.

The date of the hard ticket is a day that is closely related to buildings.

In the case of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, "8.-3.20." in connection with the opening of March 20, 1933. 。

At the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the unveiling ceremony of the statue of a heavenly woman (Magokoro statue) that descended on the first floor is held.

"35.-4.19." in connection with April 19, 1960 。

This is a very elaborate device.　It's wonderful.

The size of a hard ticket is a B-type ticket with a height of 2.5 cm and a width of 5.75 cm.

If possible, if you have a type A Edmonson ticket with a length of 3 cm, you will get more familiar with it.

Oh, I'm not a ticket mania, so I'm not very particular about it.

Only children received replica hard tickets from their sisters at each information desk.

People of a wide range of age groups.

If you put 6 sheets on the mount, it will be a fun memorial for sightseeing in Tokyo.

 

 

There are only two months left in 2015, and November is a season when events such as school cultural festival, including cultural day (holiday), but in Chuo-ku, this weekend (November 1), the whole Chuo-ku museum is held once a year. Poster information has already been posted on the bulletin board in the city.

The whole museum is held for the eighth time this year, but it is a day like a museum where you can enjoy the various charms of Chuo-ku, as the name suggests, centering on official events held in various parts of the city. In addition to events that convey the history and tradition of 400 years since the opening of Edo, events unique to Tokyo and Japan, such as contemporary and future events, art (exhibitions, performances), environmental activities, barrier-free, etc. (For details of the event, please refer to the information on the Marugoto Museum website at the end of the sentence.)

The venue will be a large area of the entire ward, but on the day, in addition to regular public transportation, free patrol buses (turn left, turn right), boat routes (including 4 routes, tour routes), Edo buses (Free on the day!) There is no need to worry about moving. If you participate in stamp rally, collect three or more stamps at the event venue and fill out the questionnaire, you can also participate in the prize-winning raffle.

Finally, let me know. The patrol bus goes around a route where public transportation such as the metropolitan bus does not pass much, so it is a chance to discover a new Chuo-ku from the train window. In addition, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association will guide you on the bus, so you may be able to hear special tourist information. 。 。

Please look forward to it!

The other day, I stopped by the Kachidoki Bridge Museum next to Kachidokibashi for the first time in a long time.

This museum was created by renovating the substations used to open Kachidokibashi, but it seems that this year marks its 10th anniversary.

 

On the way back, I received a limited postcard commemorating the 10th anniversary from my uncle at the museum, but I was glad that I was a good opportunity and asked my uncle about the questions I always thought when walking on the Sumida River Terrace .

 

What I asked about was "Kiyosu Bridge".

It is a suspension bridge built by a reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake and has become an important cultural property of the country.

While the "Eitai Bridge" built in the same reconstruction project is said to be masculine, this "Kiyosu Bridge" is said to be "female" because of its form, and is very popular and loved among the Sumida River bridges. I am.

 

It is this part that my eyes always come up when I walk on the Sumida River terrace.

Looking from a distance, the lower part of the suspension bridge is constricted, and it seems to break somehow with a delicate feeling. The pillars of the suspension bridge had the image of being thick and pierced to the ground, so I asked a super amateur question, "Why is it okay?"

 

I was taught gently, but it was a little difficult because I didn't have any prerequisite knowledge or talked about mechanics. I regretted that I should have studied a little more and asked, but I remembered the following and returned home.

 

・This part is a kanji called "Kutsu", which combines "water" and "day", and is read as "shu".

・Depending on the shoe, the direction of force due to the weight of the bridge is transmitted directly below the pier.

・The image of a bridge riding a shoe.

 

 

A few days later, when I looked up at libraries, etc., this part was called "Shisho", and in English it was the word "Shoo" and Shoo of shoes. Since "Kutsu" is read as "Kutsu", it seems that he reads "shu" in the architectural industry term with the kanji "Kutsu".

 

Although it is a member that conveys the weight of the bridge to the bottom, the bridge extends and shrinks due to temperature changes, so it seems that this bearing plays the role of "play" and adjusts well.

For Kiyosu Bridge, it is an image of wearing a shoe and riding a pier, so this part may be an Achilles tendon or ankle in humans.

Then, in the style of a woman Kiyosubashi, would it be like a "small woman's ankle"? I was strangely convinced (a little rude Kana?) 。

 

 

Kiyosu Bridge is a suspension bridge, but it is a rare suspension bridge when examined in various ways, and is a type called "autonomous suspension bridge".

 

The ordinary suspension bridge is a type called "other formula suspension bridge", and at both ends of the bridge there is a weight (Anka Reiji) for pulling the cable.

(The photo below shows the Rainbow Bridge of another set suspension bridge, with a huge white lump as Anka Reiji.)

 

However, a "self-built suspension bridge" like Kiyosu Bridge is a type that connects wires to both ends of the bridge girder. Since there is no weight at both ends of the bridge, it seems to have a refreshing look as a result (incidentally, Kiyosu Bridge is not a wire but a steel chain, which seems to be rare).

 

Also, I had the image of a suspension bridge with a sturdy thick pillar piercing the ground, but in the case of a "self-built suspension bridge", it seems to be related to the shape of a shoe. And my view of the pillars of Kiyosu Bridge was incorrect.

I felt that this way of making a bridge called "self-built suspension bridge" is creating the "female charm" of Kiyosu Bridge.

I don't have enough study yet, but I'm glad I was able to know a lot after asking my uncle. Thank you very much.

　

　

By the way, there are various types of bridges in the Sumida River, which is also called the "bridge museum".

At the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum" on November 1st (Sun), you can get on the boat for free, but why not take a boat and compare various bridges?

　

"Kiyosu Bridge" is sure to have a place where you can feel feminine compared to other bridges.

I hope you will find "female charm" by all means.

 

 

  On October 24, 2015, I went to Yagenbori relocated shopping street.

I was greeted by a big banner and a smiling smile of everyone in the shopping district.

　　I'm looking for a bargain. Both high-end belts and shirts are very cheap.

　

　

And women's hats and Italian hats are also released at a price of 2,3,000 yen.

　

In addition, shoes for women and men are less than half the price.　

　

In addition, a lot of clothing, kitchen knives and nail clippers were also sold. In addition, there are workshops on “goldfish scooping” and “bamboo dragonfly making” that are popular with children, and it is a very fun event.

Under such circumstances, Yagenbori's mascot character, "Yagenbori Samurai", in the shape of a chili, was popular and purchased a ballpoint pen with a magnet in the shape of a chili. This is convenient

　

　We also received matcha entertainment by a local lady. It was quite good and it was delicious. The photo shows Nukibe of Yagenbori Fudoin, which was taken with your consent.

　

The transportation is also very convenient because it is close to the Toei Asakusa Line, Toei Shinjuku Line Bakuro-Yokoyama Station, and JR Bakurocho Station.

This time, I would like to provide you with information on gourmet food in the neighborhood.

 Postscript: After writing so far, when I look at the whole museum 2015Vol.2, I found 23 news of Yagenbori Fudoin "Kodan" experience.

Date and time: On November 1 (Sun), the talk was held at 111: There are 5 times from 00-, 2 12:00-, 3 13:00-, 4 14:00-, 5 15:00-, capacity is 30 people each time, and the first 20 people each time There is a gift of Shichimi pepper.

 This year, October 25 is September 13 in old calendar, thirteen nights.

Also known as "Kurinamezuki" and "Mamenamezuki".

The fifteenth night (mid-autumn moon) is called the "previous moon", the thirteenth night is called the "later moon", and the two moons are collectively called the "two nights (Futayo)". A moon-viewing custom that has long been popular with Japanese people as a feature of autumn.

The lack of moon viewing on one side of the fifteenth and thirteenth nights is called "Kata Mizuki", and it is said that he hates.

Around September 13 in old calendar is generally climatically fresh and can be compared to "no cloudy on the thirteenth night."

The northern wind strengthened nationwide from the night of the 24th, and the first tree withering was observed in the city center, and the fine weather was clear on the 25th.

A beautiful moon shines beside the window lights of the lit-up condominiums of Chuo-ohashi Bridge River City.

The phases of the moon serve as a calendar for the people of agricultural culture and have a history of being valued.

It is imagined that worshiping the moon and offering gratitude was more integrated into people's lives than ever.

The thirteenth night is one step before the full moon.

It is also interesting to love a slightly chipped shape.

It's a bit different from the fifteenth night.
