Comedy, actor, film director, and multi-talented talent "Beat Takeshi" this time, "Challenge art", so I took a look at it immediately. "The act of" drawing "is the only expression that is" not a job "" is impressive. "

What is noticeable when you enter the venue is that there are many men among visitors. It's rare. There are no titles on the 100 paintings, prints, and collage works. Whether it's innocent or "a pure viewpoint like a child", it's a number of works that make you feel very fun, laughing unintentionally when you just look at it. Please take a look at the first solo exhibition of "Genius Takeshi".

 The day when Tokyo becomes one. That's the 10th Tokyo Marathon this year.

As a global marathon course, organize the world's top races from the 2013 Games (held on February 24, 2013).

Joined Abbott World Marathon Majors with Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.

The Tokyo Marathon is now one of the world's top races in both name and reality, with even more global reputation and attention.
 

 It is reported that the Tokyo Marathon, which has become the world's major marathon event, has been attended by runners from 82 countries this year. The number of participants is 36,500.

This year, on February 28 (Sun), we started supporting runners at the intersection of Suitengu.

Two first runners will run through the Suitengu Shrine, which is about to be completed.

The next runner was unable to wait and came to the Kayabacho intersection.

This year, someone I knew would participate, so I was waiting now or now.

It was a moment, but I was able to capture it with the camera.

From the Nihonbashi intersection, on Yaesu Street, Kirin encourages ale saying, "The goal is always coming!"

In Kyobashi, I had a behavioral liquor, moved to Ginza, and looked for an acquaintance, but I couldn't find the other two.

From Tsukiji Honganji Temple, where runner fatigue peaks, via Irifune Bridge.

On the 36km point Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, they also took their own pictures with Chuo-ohashi Bridge in the background.

That's right. I'm aiming for the goal, right?

 grand Torii gate is located on the banks of the Sumida River at the entrance of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Masamichi approach.

It was once removed due to aging in October last year, but on February 26, a brand-new grand Torii gate was erected.

Previously, it was a patina with copper plate (upper right), but this time it is a bright red-painted wooden (upper left).

It's a new dress.

When I got on a water bus and approached Tsukuda Island, grand Torii gate came into view against the backdrop of the high-rise apartments of Okawabata River City 21, and it was a landmark of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.

At present, white, peach, and red plums are at their best in the precincts.

Ryu Shrine is the largest of the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine precincts, and is known as Ryujin-sama and Benten-sama.

Ryujin is a white snake, and since the enshrines Benten-sama is also a snake, the Reisai Festival is held every year on Sunday near the Snake Day from late March to early April, and the cherry blossoms bloom on the grounds.

This year, the "Ryujinsha Reisai Festival" (11:00-Gaisai ceremony) April 2-3 "Sakura Festival" will be held.

 

 

 

Tokyo Buck

[Coropokle] March 1, 2016 18:00

Today is the guide of Mr. Tokyo Buck, who I use for accommodation every time I travel.

The location is just a 2-minute walk from Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line, just on the left hand after crossing Kachidokibashi toward Harumi from Ginza.

 

The exterior looks like an apartment.

The interior is a condominium-type building in the outer corridor.

The room is spacious and spacious, and you can take off your shoes and go up, so you can spend a comfortable time.

Despite the low price, there are not many places in Tokyo where the room is so large.

 

In fact, the location here is very convenient.

There are many places to eat, as well as supermarkets and two convenience stores nearby.

You can enjoy Tsukiji for a walk in the morning and Tsukishima at night.

In addition, a few minutes on foot from the hotel, there is a tomb of Jukasha 19, which is familiar to Chuo-ku sightseeing test examinees.

In addition, buses bound for Tokyo Station and "Edo Bus" stop at the stop in front of the hotel. It's a very difficult environment.

 

There is no doubt that it will be a very popular place because it has excellent access to the competition venue during the Tokyo Olympics.

We look forward to further development.

 

 

 

Sasaki Tsuyafukin

[Old Rose] March 1, 2016 18:00

I went to Sasaki Shoten, which was introduced on TV last year.

 

I'm going to miss it after passing by,

I didn't know until I read the "Ginza History Walk Map".

 

Ryusei Kishida is in "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori"

"Tsuyabukin's Sasaki is, of course, old, every year seven herbs have a Dai-Kagura in this shop.

It was used to come to see it, and I went to Sasaki every year on the night of seven herbs. "

 

I also bought "Tsuyafukin".

It looks like a yellow towel, but it seems to be good to use it to polish wood products such as pipes from the Meiji era.

It seems that there are still orders from all over the country.

 

Sasaki Shoten is a long-established smoking equipment that was founded in 1868.

It is said that there is no one who is a pipe enthusiast.
