The correspondent is also very satisfied! "Silver in Yukata,"

[Hanes] August 15, 2018 09:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The eve festival was held on August 4th and the main festival was held on August 5th. Did you participate?
Last year, I went for a walk in Ginza since it cooled down, and happened to know this event.
This year was the year of the debut of "Yukata de Ginza Bura"

So, to participate in the eve, change clothes to Yukata, and go to Yasuaki Elementary School.
There are few opportunities to enter the elementary school premises, so I am excited....
We started selling at the stalls at 17 o'clock.
Tsubame Grill, Ishingo, Mikasa Kaikan Hata Huaiharu, Ginza Lion, Senbikiya, Toraya Karyo, etc.
There are only stalls that want to say "Ginza!"
Among them, the mangoes and strawberry flappes at Senbikiya are particularly popular.
The cute container with a flower motif is also fashionable, as it is transparent like summer.
The eyes of those who were just watching without buying were also very entertained.

And at 18 o'clock, the long-awaited Bon Odori started.
In addition to the regular lineup, Ginza's unique "Ginza Kankan Musume" and the "Doraemon Ondo", which is a child, also played.
At the "Dancing Hero", which was recognized at a stretch due to the bubble revival, the venue was very exciting.

There is no sharpness as Babry Dance of Tomioka High School Dance Club, but
Bon Odori's "Dancing Hero" was also quite good, probably because the tunes are different from normal Bon Odori and there is momentum.

According to what we hear, "Dancing Hero" says that J-POP will also be incorporated into Bon Odori.
It is said that it has been danced for a long time in Bon Odori in Aichi Prefecture, which has its own culture, and spread throughout the country.

Yabaton, Komeda Coffee Shop, Yamachan from the World...
In Chuo-ku, you can see Aichi (Nagoya) gourmet advances.
For the first time, I learned that Bon Odori's "Dancing Hero" was also from Aichi.

The next day, before the main festival starting at 15:00, a senior correspondent Sam introduced me.
To "Summer Cool Terrace" (open for a limited time at FANCL Ginza Square)

At the entrance of the building, we received a fan (15th anniversary design of FANCL Ginza Square) that became the mount of Summer stamp rally.
I've done a little health check such as blood vessel age and grip strength measurement (free)!
In the first blood vessel age check, the results were unexpectedly shocked....
Even if you are careful about your diet, it can result unexpected results.
From now on, I decided to come to check blood vessel age regularly.

We collected two stamps and received a kit cut with the original design of the 15th anniversary.
I've won the lottery for Yukata wearer's privilege!
In the 5-day limited candy work performance that Sam wrote, Mr.
Glasswork, or a real goldfish that seems to be mistaken for the real thing appears
It was elaborate that even Japanese people could see unintentionally.

And from 15:00, the first Ginza cool breeze plan (Uchimizu) was held in two places!

The watering ends in an instant, but it's strange that you can feel the coolness just by looking at it.
In addition, the road surface temperature drops by more than 5 degrees due to these small ideas.
I want to continue the wisdom of Edo, which Japanese people can be proud of, from now on!

In addition, in cooperation with fundraising, we received cold Japanese tea and Starbucks drinks brewed in teapots.

You can see various kinds of goldfish at a business trip aquarium in Edo.

At the ice festival, I took pictures while surprised that the face of the ice statue melts and falls.

I didn't get tired of walking on Ginza Street at all.
There are many shops where you can get great service by wearing yukata.
It's nice to be able to enjoy it both outdoors and indoors!

If you haven't done "silver with yukata" yet, why don't you come to Ginza next year in yukata?
You can enjoy yourself with your friends, lovers, and family, as well as yourself.
