METoA Ginza Spring Break Special Event "I found it! Mirai City Rally

[Edamame] March 28, 2018 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

The other day, an event I found while reading an e-mail magazine for the child-rearing generation of NHK.

"I found it! I went to Mirai City Rally!


"METoA Ginza (Meto Aginza)".

I went there for the first time at this event, but the place is in a corner of Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

This is a place where many people can learn about Mitsubishi Electric's technology and technology.

It's not just a technology, but a concept that we want to connect with culture and society.

It is a space where you can feel discoveries and surprises.

And ... "I found it!"

I think the child-rearing generation knows with a considerable probability.

A lot of attractive characters such as the chair character "Kossi" appear.

The main target is a program for children between the ages of 4 and 6.

Personally, is the target a little older brother or older sister than "I'm with my mom"?

I also like that there are many points where adults laugh quite a bit.

Of course, my daughter, Azuki (2 years old), also said, "Koshishi !!" !"I'm wearing it.

The broadcast is E-Tele, and the main broadcast is from 7:45 to 8:00 on weekdays. The rebroadcast is from 16:45 to 17:00.

And ... "I found it! What is Mirai City Rally?

This is being held at METoA Ginza

"Smooth Access City - Let's go to the future of the city."

In this event, stamps of chairs and other characters such as Kossi were placed.

It is designed so that you can get a glimpse of the future city while stamping the venue.


If you collect all the stamps

In commemoration, "Original coloring" will be presented!


I was pointing my feet with the image of "Kossi's Stamp Rally".

My daughter Azuki enjoyed "Hankopetan" as much as she wanted.

It's a new mechanism for automatic ticket gates that don't have to touch.

It is an elevator that supports skyscrapers

It is a technology that supports barrier-free

It was also an exhibition that adults could see very interestingly.



There is also a corner where you can take a commemorative photo with Kossi & Sabo (a superstar in the cactus world).

There is also a service that allows you to print out the photos on the spot.

I think it's perfect for a little outing during the spring break.


"I found it! The Mirai City Rally will be held until April 8 (Sun).

The opening time is from 11:00 to 19:00.

Please come and visit METoA Ginza.

 

 

What's the word "No"? Mischief⁉

[Shubo's Ten Hands] March 27, 2018 18:00

Zhubo's ten hands 3.jpgThe stone mark of Ichiishibashi lost child!

What is the character "No" on this stone marker?

(yellow arrow) (enlarged characters are green)

Reference point Mayiko.jpg DSCN1066 - Copy. jpg

It's a syntax.

A stamp engraved to measure the height difference in the early Meiji era. It seems that there are still about 40 places in Tokyo.

At first, 150 places were installed. It is a place where everything will remain permanently.

However, sir. 。 。 ?

Please stand along with the cherry blossom viewing.

Cherry blossoming in Okawabata

[saru] March 27, 2018 14:00

The other day, Tokyo also declared the blossoming of cherry blossoms. Shinkawa Park, Ishikawajima Park and Tsukuda Park, located between Eitai Bridge on the Sumida River and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, are famous cherry blossom spots along both banks of the Sumida River. However, it seems that the flowering time is slightly different depending on the sunshine hours.

 

 

This is Tsukuda, Ishikawajima Park.

It was taken on the 25th, but it is almost in full bloom and is crowded with cherry blossom viewing visitors.

The floating sightseeing boat running on the river surface also stopped by the shore and slowed down to serve passengers.

Next is Shinkawa Park on the opposite bank. It's been filming on the morning of the 27th, but it's still 6 minutes.

This is a small cherry blossom that blooms in the square just behind Shinkawa Park. It seems to be a variety called Sunlight Sakura, and about 6 trees were planted, and this was already in full bloom.

If you combine the parks on both banks, you can enjoy a long-term performance of cherry blossoms (parks).

Hanami 2018 by Edo Bus

[Silver] March 27, 2018 09:00

 From the north exit of Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, take the "Edo Bus" of the north circulation. From here, the bus "Harumi Liner" bound for Harumi Triton departs and arrives.

Looking at the bus timetable, the Edo bus runs every 20 minutes.

Before that, I enjoyed the stunning row of cherry blossom trees at Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St., which runs from the north exit of Tokyo Station Yaesu-dori to the Takashimaya area. As of March 23, it was close to full bloom. 

DSCN0107 (400x300). jpg 

Take the bus and buy a one-day ticket of 300 yenya. From inside the car, look at the Yoshino cherry tree of Edo Sakura-dori St., which leads to the head office of the Bank of Japan, Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building, and the bus turn right at JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station. Here I saw a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers on Edo-dori St., which leads to Bakurocho Station. The lyrics of "Northern Spring" appear in my mind. 

 The bus turns left at Cored Muromachi 1 and passes in front of Bunmeido. Cherry trees are also planted here, so you can see the cherry blossoms. Looking at Sugimori Shrine to the left and Tokyo Commodity Exchange to the right, the bus goes from Horidome-cho to Kodemmacho. On Edo-dori St. from Kodemmacho to Bakurocho, you can see a row of pure white Magnolia kobus flowers again.

 Get off at the "Hamacho Station" bus stop in front of Meijiza, slowly see the cherry blossoms at Hamacho Park. You can enjoy Meijiza-mae and the weeping cherry tree in Hamacho Park from the end of March to the beginning of April. However, there are also individual differences.

weeping cherry tree was in full bloom.

 Pass through the cherry blossom tunnel on the Hamacho Green Road.

DSCN0150 (400x300). jpg

Visiting Suitengu Shrine. Lunch near Royal Park Hotel, Kakigaracho Park, and TCAT.

DSCN0159 (400x300). jpg

 Take a stroll to the bus stop "Suitengu-mae" across the road. Re-ride the Edo bus, and the bus passes through Ningyocho Station, Nihonbashi Kumin Center, Shinkawa 1, 2-chome, passes through Kameshima Bridge, Hatchobori, and enters Yaesu Street in front of Ichiyoshi Securities. Enter. Arrived at Chuo-ku government office through Sakurabashi and Shintomi Kumin-mae. It is a fun cherry blossom viewing trip using the Edo bus.

Even if you get off the bus, look at the red flowers of peach blossoms (Hana Momo) in front of Chuo-ku government office and see them.

I enjoyed the cherry blossoms at Kameibashi Park on a bench and slowly.
