 One of the pre-recruiting events for the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2015" held on November 1, "Ginza's Modern and Contemporary Building Tour!" (1 10:30-12:00 English course) I will introduce you. 

Modern Ginza began with the construction of brick streets in the Meiji period. A region that is always rich in enterprising spirit, and has embodyed the latest architecture that embodies advanced technology, aesthetic trends, and ideas about urban space.

The Great Kanto Earthquake, the Great Tokyo Air Raid, and the constant development and rebuilding after the war have lost many famous buildings and landmarks that have been popular with people, and still have impressive buildings.

In addition, a number of buildings since 2000, designed by prominent contemporary architects from Japan and abroad, will also delight your eyes.

An event designed with the aim of rediscovering such rich architectural assets and urban space.

The title is "Let's walk and learn about Ginza's freshly-made assets!" 。 

1 Shizuoka Shimbun, Shizuoka Hoso Building, 2 Dentsu Ginza Building, 3 Yasuaki Elementary School, 4 Sony Building, 5 Maison Hermes, 6 Louis Vuitton Ginza Namiki-dori St. Store, 7 Kojunsha Building, 8 Daiichi Sugawara Building, 9 Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building, 9 Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building, 10 Building, 1.

The guide is Yasushi Zenno, an architectural historian.

Inspired by five-storied pagoda, the so-called "curtain wall" with about 13,000 45cm square glass blocks on the outer wall, the monument of a knight straddling the horse on the top floor, the monument of the wind of the courtyard "Dedicated in space", the new design of the Kawasaki Maison Hermes, which has been designed with detail in detail, such as the new display on the glass wall, the glass.

The "Kawasaki Brand Design Building" has a sense of sight, but the building used to be home to the Kappo cuisine "Sakeshi Koko" directly managed by Nishiyama Sake Brewery in Tamba City ("Kokomi").

I have a deep impression.

Doi's work is a drawing pen on Japanese paper, depicting small rounds in fine detail, expressing the soul, peace, dialogue, space, etc.

He has received high praise in museums overseas such as New York, London and Paris, as well as in the New York Times newspaper.

Doi's work is very delicate and delicate, so I can't convey it with my writing skills or photography.

It's a strange feeling

I have no choice but to see it with the naked eye.

The exhibition period is until November 28 (Sat), closed on Sundays and holidays, and admission is free.

There is also a cafe.

 On October 31, at Harumi Triton Square, "Winter Illumination 2015" started this year in conjunction with "Flower Carpet Harumi 2015".

Date: From October 31 to February 14 (planned) 17:00 to 23:00

Until last year, fantastic LED illuminations based on blue were developed based on blue, with the motif of the ocean blue ocean and dolphins, centered on the "water terrace", but this year the outfit was renewed.

At the entrance of North Triton Park, the champagne gold shines, centered on the "Sakura promenade" from Harutsuki Bridge along the Asashio Canal to Reimei Bridge.

It is in harmony with the light-up of this year's theme "Four Seasons-Japan Four Seasons" of the Flower Carpet, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2015.

The triton bridge is illuminated in rainbow colors.

From the mouth of the passers-by, "It looks like an attraction."

The season of sparkling winter illumination is coming.

A bus guide for thrilling. "Thank you very much for your ride."

[Koedo Itabashi] Nov. 6, 2015 08:00

After all, I'm nervous.

Take the bus and head to men and women of all ages, an unspecified number of people.

I'll show you through Mike.

The commonality of customers is to visit the venue of the Marugoto Museum 2015 in Chuo-ku.

It means that you have boarded a bus that runs only for one day.

How should we tell various scenes that are unfolding in various places in the city?

It seems that you will get a little drunk with a feeling different from the tension you usually feel at work.

 

The route of the bus is fixed, so you can prepare in advance.

I was prepared hard to tell the wrong thing, too.

How many people are the latest population in Chuo-ku?

How is the scale and outline of the Tokyo Olympic Village in 2020 announced?

Where does the Hakone Ekiden course pass?

Is the course of the Tokyo Marathon 2016 the same as before?

Was the official name of the bridge over the downstream of Kachidokibashi good at Tsukiji Ohashi?

What kind of classic cars will be participating in the Harumi Autumn Festival?

Are there any TV programs that recently filmed in the city?

Where do you have a relationship with Taiga drama series and Dora? ・・・。

When I was searching on a personal computer, I was suddenly entering midnight.

If you become a tourist correspondent, you can participate in various events in Chuo-ku.
Above all, it connects the venue of the “Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum” held on November 1st.
The activities of the volunteer guide on the bus are very interesting.

  
It's an emergency.
Suddenly, to adjust the interval between the preceding bus, stop for a while ...
What shall I talk about? Would you like to sing in a song and have a gap?
In such a case, we must demonstrate the results of our pre-preparation.
It would be helpful if you had a healthy child.
Together, we can ride the topic of passing cars and talk about Halloween yesterday.
I have a lot of knowledge of classic anime.
Even so, if you have a microphone, you can't speak as much as you want.

 

The most important thing is to have customers ride comfortably.
"Hello" at the time of boarding, "Thank you" at the time of getting off,
I told each and every one brightly.
"It was a very good voice,"
The elegant aunt whispered when he got off.
I was very happy.
When I go home, I must report it to my wife immediately.

 The weather was fine on October 25 (Sun), and the scenery of the Tokyo Bay shore seen from the boat was wonderful.

 

 After that, the ship entered the Harumi Canal. In front of Aioi Bridge, right is Echinakajima Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology Campus.

 Take the direction of Eitai Bridge.

 It's Chuo-ohashi Bridge. Chuo-ohashi Bridge was built in 1994 (1994) with the redevelopment of the Tsukuda area (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 58).

 We look at the high-rise apartments of "River City 21" from the boat. "River City 21" was built on the site of Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. On the right is the "Ishikawajima Lighthouse Ruins" (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 108).

 It's a condominium in Toyosu, but it's relatively low, probably before the tower apartments appeared one after another. But isn't the view wonderful?
