Hello! TOKYO WATER TAXI

[The Crown and the Rabbit] October 8, 2017 09:00

What is Tsukiji moving around the market?
Needless to say,
About 360 years ago
Already from the Edo period
Tsukiji is on the water front.
It was a pioneer in the foreground
What is now
For the good location
It has appeared as a location for many commercial dramas.
If you take a short walk, you must be sure
"Ah? The scenery I saw somewhere here..."and"
You should think of it.

 

Locals walk and jogging.
Hyugabokko, you can open lunch boxes for lunch, enjoy the night view with one hand of beer, and enjoy the night view.
Some people come to practice trumpet.

 

I live in a 3-minute walk away.
Considering it as an extended living dining room at home.
The visitor is more than a small room.
I wanted to share the comfort of the panoramic landscape of the buildings along the Sumida River and the waterside.
I often have a picnic on the bench at the base of Kachidokibashi.

 

Well, the other day I was enjoying the baguette and cheese on the bench
A yellow ship with a different taste from the usual houseboat was laid on the dock in front of me.

When a correspondent's blood fussed, I applied for an interview immediately.
I got OK for 10 minutes before the customer got on.

 

The ship
Toward the Olympic and Paralympic Games
It was a water taxi that started an attempt to operate it two years ago.


It began full-scale operation last year.
To Haneda Keihin Canal and Sumida River Main
"Taxi Plan"
“Regular Operation Plan”
"charter plan"
It seems that it's going on.
For more information, see http://water-taxi.tokyo/#blog

ck1216_20171002 (1). PNG

  

The boat is a small boat with eight passengers.
The captain and the boatman will accompany you.
It seems that it is suitable for chartered boarding with 6 people and for sightseeing and party use.

ck1216_20171002 (2). JPG

Actually, I was on board.
Small buns give you the excitement of going out on a jungle cruise near the sea surface.
Because it has a small turn, "I can go in quite a narrow river."
There is a toilet and air conditioning.

ck1216_20171002 (4). JPG ck1216_20171002 (5). JPG 

Viewed from rivers and canals, Tokyo will show a 180-degree different look than usual.

 

Now, the reservation customer got on board and the rope on the berth was broken.
When he waved his hand and saw him off, he rang the reciprocal whistle and departed with Buen.

Remove the plaque of bathhouse Ukiyo

[Asunaro] 16:00 on October 7, 2017

October 10 is the day of the public bath.

 

The first public bath in Edo was the shores of Senbei Bridge in Tensho 19 (1591).

Today, it opened in front of Tokiwa Bridge Park in Nihonbashi.

I did it.

 Tokiwa Bridge. jpg

The town of Edo is based on the geology and wind strength of the Kanto Loam Formation.

It was dusty, and people went to public baths and the number of public baths increased.

There was a sword hanging in the public bath in Hatchobori, even though it was ladies' bath.

There is a story of the Seven Wonders.

It avoids crowded morning men's baths and is quiet at the same time.

The power of Hatchobori by turning ladies' bath into hot water (chartered out)

Concentric and listen to the story you can hear from the next men's bath

I was collecting information.

 

 Irifuneyu. jpg

Well, Irifuneyu, a public bath near the current Hatchobori.

There is no sword hanging, but there is a strange and stunning tile painting.

Sir. A picture of ukiyo-e painted by the fourth generation Kunimasa Utagawa on a ceramic plate.

That's right. Why don't you enjoy it while soaking in hot water?

Do you think? It will be held on the 10th.

 

◆Irifuneyu
3-6-14, Irifune, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
7-minute walk from the A1 exit of Hatchobori on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and JR Keiyo Line.

At the Noevia Ginza Gallery on the first floor of the Noevia Ginza Headquarters Building, facing Ginza 7-chome, Namiki-dori St., the poster exhibition currently being held has started the "late term" by replacing the exhibits.

poskoki004.jpg

"Mr. Poster", a poster exhibition by Yusaku Kamekura.

poskoki007.JPG

The second half period is from Monday, October 2 to November 2 (Thu).

The holding time is from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, but on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it is until 5:00 pm

poskoki003.jpg

Many of the posters exhibited in the first semester were famous, such as the Tokyo 1964 Olympics, the Osaka World Exposition, and the Hiroshima Appeals, but in the second semester, the famousness is inferior to the previous year, but now it is still fresh and beautiful.

Posters such as "Sofu Teshigahara solo exhibition", "Nikkoll lens", "Nikon camera", "Yamagiwa international lighting exhibition", "UCLA Japanese classical performing arts invitation commemorative" etc.

There are many works that make full use of curves, straight lines, and graphic designs.

Some of the figures reminded me of traditional Japanese shapes and shapes, which was interesting.

Please enjoy the exhibition of Mr. Kamekura, a pioneer in the graphic design world in Japan and a global graphic designer.

Jugatsuzakura is blooming

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 7, 2017 14:00

As the name implies, Juugatsuzakura blooms in October.

It is wide and is also called "winter cherry blossoms".

jugatuz002.JPG

It is located along Chuo-dori, at the base of the Kyobashi Bridge, which used to be over the Kyobashi River.

In the photo above, you can see Tokyo Square Garden in the background.

The explanation board of "Kyobashi and Kyobashigawa" is also located in a corner of this planting.

jugatuz005.JPG

Across the road, across the street is the police museum.

The picture below is pink.

jugatuz000.jpg

Juugatsuzakura (October cherry tree) is a plant belonging to the genus Rosaceae family, and is a horticultural variety of Kohigan in the series of Edhigan.

It blooms twice a year every year.

jugatuz003.JPG

Naturally, the next oshima cherry is not blooming

jugatuz004.JPG

The passerby stopped with a considerable probability and was taking pictures with a smartphone.

It was also interesting that the person who checked the name of the tree hung on the trunk looked like "I see."

 

 

Chuo-ku Real Treasure Hunting Event "Oedo Treasure Biden!" I'm here♪

[Edamame] 09:00 on October 7, 2017

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


I'm with children ... Actually, I really like quizzes, brain training, mystery solving games, etc.

Some of you who read this blog

I think there are many such people, but how about?


What I'm getting caught up recently is the event called "Real Treasure Hunting".

Takarash! There's a company like this.

http://www.takarush.jp/

Solve the mystery and actually go to the place where the mystery showed.

It's about finding clues to treasure more and more.

I knew for the first time this winter, but since then.

I'm having a lot of fun.

DSC_1900-1.jpg

One of them is the "phantom cherry blossoms" that was held in Nihonbashi this spring.

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/nihonbashi2017/

I really liked how to show it to the bright final point. Fufufufufu.

It was an event that was introduced on the correspondent blog at that time.

/archive/2017/03/201731649.html


And at this year's Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival...

DSC_1918-1.jpg

Takarash! Collaboration event with

"Oedo Treasure Biden! Look for the legendary Ukiyo-e! ~」

It's started!

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/

Of course, Edamame is full of motivation.

I've been working hard on the first day.


Can you solve the mystery with children? Some of you may think about it.

I think there are some parts that can be overcome with ingenuity.


1: Before you go out, check the mystery itself on your home PC.

If you solve the mystery on the go, you will have to wait for the children on the spot ...

I wonder if it is better to solve the mystery itself in advance.

Brochures are distributed at ward offices and ward centers, etc.

The "Treasure Map" is posted on Takarash's website.

You can check it while you are at home in advance.

Click here to download this one. → http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/#map_link

If you do so, you can calculate the shortest route of "in what order to go around" the place where mystery shows "".


2: We will also incorporate the fun of children.

Just being taken by parents, even children are boring.

So ... "I'm going to take that train!"

"It looks a bit tasty. Why don't you try it?"

Say to my daughter Azuki (2 years old) also loves "eat-walking gourmet snack"

(If you know what you are eating, it will be a great hint, so this photo will not be uploaded.)

"You can see the boat from the river!"

DSC_1928-1.jpg

What do you do?

Also, if the park is nearby, I will play it there.

Even if it may be a bit detour, if you incorporate a lot of fun things

I think it's a little fun.

(↑ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ This is not the only hint of "where and how did you go?" Maybe.

 The mystery solving event is everyone's promise to "prohibition of spoilage".

 You should never take away everyone's "fun to solve mysteries." )

It's a secret about solving this mystery itself! But...

It was relatively easy to solve and the number of problems was small.

It seems that even elementary school students can work on it.

In fact, it was probably an athletic meet on the weekend, so I thought it would be closed on transfer holidays.

I've encountered quite a bit around the place where mysteries point.

And I think that the number of problems is small = I can act comfortably.

It seems that you can enjoy shopping a little near "the place pointed to by mysteries" or have plenty of time.


If you unravel all mysteries and find a treasure chest ...

DSC_1933-1.jpg

1st floor of Kyobashi Edgran B1F of the Discovery Reporting Office

Let's go to the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center!

DSC_1934-1.jpg

※Here, we took care of various things before taking the Chuo-ku sightseeing test conducted in February this year.

 I'll probably visit you before you take the sightseeing test in January next year. Thank you very much.



Let me show you the answer to the person in charge of the counter

You can get an application form, so fill in the necessary information and post it to the special post! !

That's right. Those who discover the treasure chest at this event are waiting for luxurious prizes by lottery.

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/#prize_link

JTB travel ticket 100,000 yen, I wonder if it's worth it ...

Dreams are big! I'm going to sleep and wait (laughs).

And as a participation prize

DSC_1944-1.jpg

One postcard from Chuo-ku.

Takarash! You can get digital items that can be collected in the dedicated site.

There were various types of postcards in Chuo-ku.

You can choose slowly at the tourist information center.


That's why the "real treasure hunt" event that enjoyed and went around the city.

It will be held from today (October 2) to November 3 (Friday).

Everyone, please try it out.
