A pensioner who is in Mainichi is a holiday and is inclined as the cold blows.

Participate in the first "Premium Friday" event this year.

After participating in the Nara Mahoroba-kan, Shimane-kan, Mie Terrace in Nihonbashi, and the antenna shop stamp rally, we will go to Garapon raffle at Mitsui Tower.

There was no reason for hitting it with Garapon, and I didn't send it this time because it was the market to get tissues.

But

You get a gift certificate worth 2,000 yen!

This guy~, the auspicious is Awai from spring

(I'm sorry for the company employees, but I used it immediately at the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.)

This is an essential part of walking around Nihonbashi and Ginza.　

The "Matazo Kayama Exhibition", which is well known for its splendid decorative folding screen paintings and works of mysterious and attractive cats, has begun.

Looking at the profile of the venue, "I received the Order of Culture in 2003. He died the same year, and I was surprised again that he had died so much. This time, from experimental works based on animals from the 50s and 1960s that debuted as a Japanese painter, Rinpa's "discovering tradition", "life hymns" in the era when nude women with a new sense were reputed, "return to tradition" and the diverse world of the artist. There are also original designs of kimonos and pottery works, and you can understand the catch of the pamphlet "Great of innovation and decorativeness". Travel to Yokohama, Osaka and Kyoto Takashimaya.

Matazo Kayama Exhibition Nihonbashi Takashimaya 8th floor hall from 10:30 to 19:00 on the last day until 17:30 on the last day.

Admission fee 800 yen

Until March 6

　At 9:10 on the 26th (9:05 for wheelchairs), under the fine weather, the Tokyo Marathon 2017 started in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building with a gun signal.

From this time, it was changed to a flat course that runs more in the city center from two viewpoints, "to further promote the splendor of Tokyo both inside and outside" and "to make a high-speed course that can aim for records", and after the start, Yasukuni Dori-Sotobori-dori St. ~ Mejiro-dori St. ~ Yasukuni Dori, run right at the Chuo Sudacho Tokyo intersection.

About 30 minutes after the start, the top group approaches "Oedo Nihonbashi" almost as expected passage time, and is wrapped in loud cheers.

This is the first scene to see under the nameplate of "Nihonbashi" on the highway.

I heard that more than 10,000 volunteers will support the operation of the tournament, but in front of Nihonbashi Colled, one of the venues for the runner support event, a gunshot music will be played, and participants from athlete runners to fan runners will be cheered and excited.

（9:40～11:00）

The runners will then head to the Ryogoku / Fukagawa area of the Shitamachi area, which has also become a new course.

Recently, there has been a series of fashionable hostels that can be easily used in the "super city center" area around Tokyo Station. The feature of these hostels is that they are made with a focus on mobility for those who want to experience the city from morning to night, or from night to morning. What I want is not a luxury, but a cozyness and freshness of information! It's very popular with tourists.

The pioneer of this trend was in the wholesale district, Bakurocho! "IRORI" opened at the end of 2015.

It is a large guest house built by renovating a 40-year-old building and can accommodate about 70 people. It starts at 2800 yen per night! The management body is R.Project Co., Ltd., which has launched a number of projects to rediscover the charms of various parts of Japan. Mr. Dai Tamesue, a medalist, is also a member of the board.

There is a reception and a cafe on the first floor. There is a real Irori in the entrance space! They are going to bake fish here in the morning and evening. Furniture and interiors have local products from various places, and have plenty of seasonal feeling.

This cafe and lounge is also available to ordinary guests who are not staying. Every day, popular shops from all over the country go on business trips to provide delicious food and drink. The price is also affordable! The coffee is carefully brewed over time every cup, and it is very delicious.

And the very recommended reason for general use of IRORI's cafe is that there are a lot of free papers and tourist maps!

There are many information magazines, although useful contents are covered not only for tourists but also for neighbors. You can enjoy it just by reading them while drinking coffee at the end of Irori. There are people who send this much maniac information and live information of Chuo-ku....I'm also surprised at that.

Both tourists and locals.

It is also a place where you can feel the local culture other than Tokyo.

Please go to "IRORI", where many "people who want to taste Tokyo" come and go regardless of age, gender, regardless of nationality, come and go. Please visit this website for information on the day's cafe menu and accommodation information!

At the Paula Museum Annex, an art museum located on the third floor of the Paula Ginza Building facing Chuo-dori, Ginza 1-chome, the Mika Aoki exhibition "Forests Following You" was being held.

The event was held from Friday, January 20 to February 26 (Sun).

In this exhibition, using the life cycle of plants as a motif, the invisible "connection" of life was dynamically shown by combining glass objects and light.

The glass work made by the technique of burner work looked like pollen of plants, seeds and cells, and was full of life.

I felt mystical beauty and dynamism

At the venue where the lights were turned off, a fantastic world was spreading with effective light.

　Before the 11th Tokyo Marathon, which will be released on the 26th tomorrow, Tokyo Tower, one of the landmarks of the course, will be illuminated with a special one-night lighting.

（17:30～22:00）

With the motif of the tournament logo mark, which is said to represent "the day when Tokyo becomes one", the runners and supporters and supporters are united together beautifully, the yellow, red, blue and green lines that mix together It is the lighting of a diamond veil with four colors alternately arranged.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, you can clearly see the shine through Tsukiji Market.

From 22:00 to dawn the next day, the standard landmark lights are lit.

From this time, the course has been changed to a more urban area, with a total of 36,000 people from Japan and overseas and citizen runners participating.

Along the course, there will be a runner support event "Marathon Festival", which will enliven the tournament with performances such as music performances, dances, and folk performing arts.
