In the story for the first time in Chuo-ku, it is introduced as the "store of fruit parlor".

According to the "Map of Japan Firsts" published by Tokyo Chuo City Tourism Association,

Sembikiya opened the first fruit parlor in Japan in 1890. The restautrant served fruit punch for the first time in Japan.

The renowned Tsukiji store of Ginza Senbikiya will open on January 15, 2016 (Friday).

　The location is also close to Tokyo Metro Tsukiji Station and Shintomicho Station, facing St. Luke Street.

From Tsukiji Station, diagonally opposite the Nikkan Sports Headquarters, it is in front of Susumu Otsuka, Mieko Memorial St. Luke's Clinical Science Center Building, which is near completion.

The number of private use and the choice of gifts has increased again.

Mokuami Kawatake, who was praised by Shoyo Tsubouchi as a "large wholesaler of Edo drama", was born on February 3, 1816 in Edo Nihonbashi-dori 2-chome Shikibu Koji. According to "Meiji Restoration of Silent Ami" (Tamotsu Watanabe), "On the way to the back street of Takashimaya today, there was a palace doctor of the Shogunate, the residence of Hisashi's main ceremony club, called Shikibe Koji." The birthplace was a wealthy merchant and at the age of 19, began walking the path of Kabuki authors and sent over 300 works to the world. Many of the well-known ones that are still performed today are beginning with Kabuki this month, but Kabukiza "Ibaraki", "Yukigure Night Iriya Red Road-Nao Samurai", Shimbashi Enbujo "Benten Musumeo Shiranami", Asakusa Public Hall "Sanjin Yoshizo", National Theater "Koharu Okitsu Shiranami-Shironomine and Koremitsu" are not arranged. The new school performance of the Mitsukoshi Theater is also "Itozakura-People of the silent Ami family". Among them, the first play at the National Theater, which claims "200th anniversary of the birth of Miku Ami".

At the National Theater, the New Year's annual Dai-Kagura lived in the lobby before the show, and said, "The three-pronged spirits that have been handed down to the theater country (Shibai no Kuni) is kind to a kind actor and kind to a friend who is kind and kind to a friend who is kind to the audience. The old Hagoita is full of 300-year-old kyogen, like the flow of Kawatake. "Rezo Kofuki" is a turmoil caused by a house turmoil in Shiranami, which is good at silent Ami. Reizo, played by Kikunosuke, who uses the fox's fairy, has become a dignified male figure from a beautiful countryside girl, a flashy turn on the torii gate and the gorgeousness perfect for the New Year.

At the entrance of Kabukiza, the person in charge heard a voice saying, "Mr. Ebizo is theater."

Of course, the Kabukiza Theater is also full. "Kiyomasa of Nijo Castle" applauded Kintaro, who grew up with a combination of Kiyomasa played by Koshiro and his grandson Kintaro's Hideyori. Tamasaburo's evening fog of "Yoshidaya" for the first time in a long time, the combination and highlights of Somegoro's refreshing "Nao Samurai" and the last 3,000-year-old combination at Shiba Sparrow. Why don't you feel like early spring at a theater full of gorgeous sunny clothes?

The Kabukiza Theater will be held on the 26th.

　Today (January 9) in the Nikkei Shimbun morning edition regional economic aspect, an article about the use of the former site of Tsukiji Market was published, saying, "Tsukiji, large ships are also berthing / Toyosu, and promenade is being developed." Toward the 2020 Olympics, and then, especially the Tsukiji and Harumi areas, are likely to undergo a major transformation.

　In the above article, it is described as follows.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will develop a hydrophilic base that can be used by tourists on the waterside of rivers and the sea. The company plans to install docks and terraces along the Sumida River in Tsukiji by 2024. A new dock for small ships will be established in both countries, which will lead to the promotion of the use of boat transportation. The aim is to spread the appeal of foreign tourists visiting Japan as a "city of water."
　The capital will dismantle the unloading pier along the Sumida River in Tsukiji Market, which will be relocated in November, and establish a new dock. A terminal where large sightseeing boats can be used. The company plans to set up a terrace where cafes can be opened.
　The Tokyo Metropolitan Government regards the Tsukiji area as the gateway to the Sumida River. The plan is to develop a boat route that connects tourist spots such as the Tokyo Sky Tree (Sumida, Tokyo) with the coastal area, which is being developed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

In addition to Tsukiji and Ryogoku, the capital has selected the Asakusa, Tsukuda and Ecchujima areas as waterfront creation bases. In the past, the law has made it possible to set up an open cafe in riverbed, and also held events to attract customers.

From January 9th (Saturday), a collaboration art exhibition "The Birth" of ancient characters and ikebana has been held at the "Machikado Exhibition Hall" (Nihonbashi Kobunacho 4) operated by the long-established fan shop "Ibasen".

By the way, "Ibasen" was founded in 1590 (Tensho 18).

It seems that he also worked on publishing Ukiyo-e in the Edo period.

Ancient characters are hieroglyphic characters born for fortune-telling records in China 3,000 years ago, and are considered the roots of modern kanji.

In this exhibition, foil and Japanese lacquer were used on a folding screen with Japanese paper for fans, along with ancient characters meaning pine, and bamboo-based by young flower artist Naohiro Kasuya, who is active internationally, large ikebana works are on display.

Opening hours are from 8:00 to 20:00, admission is free.

We visited the sound planetarium, an event where you can enjoy music and planetariums held at the Sony Building at the Sukiyabashi intersection.
This is the third most popular event this time.

The video and graphic art projected on the projector are also beautiful and very enjoyable.

I was very impressed by the previous sound planetarium, so I was really looking forward to it again this year.

This time, the floor of the OPUS on the 8th floor of the Sony Building, which will be the venue, is affixed with mirror reflection materials.
Like Uyuni salt lake, stars and scenery are reflected on the floor, and you can enjoy a very beautiful sight.

In the 15-minute program, three songs will be played, but in the first half (until 1/17) and the second half (1/18-2/14), the songs will change and you can enjoy a different atmosphere.

My recommended point is the starry sky that moves in sync with music.
It seems that megastars are playing music with stars like musical instruments.
Please pay attention to the sea of stars flowing over your head.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 (We have a special photo shoot for coverage.)

Every year, weekends and holidays are often crowded, and it seems that the more crowded the exhibition is approaching the end of the exhibition.
My recommendation is after 5 p.m. on weekdays.
At that time, when I went out after watching the planetarium, the illuminations of Ginza look like stars on the ground.
It is a beautiful moment that can be enjoyed only in this place.

The sound planetarium is held from 11:00 to 19:00 every day until February 14th.
Admission is free, and a 15-minute program is screened three times a hour.
For more information, please visit the website.

When you go to Ginza, please enjoy a trip to the sea of stars.
