It is said that "the weather of getting close to the lights" means that autumn
nights 
are cool and long, so it is suitable for reading
under the lights. There is a trace of history 
at the intersection of Ginza 2-chome that reminds me that it has not been around for a long time.
At the corner of the Ginza 2-chome intersection, the wall of the cartier building (Ginza Marronnier Street side) is fitted with a plate of the electric light pillar monument.
In 1882, arc lamps were lit for the first time in Japan, replacing conventional gas lamps and lamps.
At the monument, the plate depicts a lot of people gathering and looking up on the bright light. It seems that many people were surprised at the brightness.
In addition, on the Chuo-dori side in front of the Cartier Building at this intersection, the Ginza Memorial Light was built on October 1, 1956 by the hands of related parties to commemorate "Japan's first electric streetlight construction site". Was
After that, this commemorative light has been rebuilt several times, and the current one has been restored in September of last year.
Thanks for the efforts of our predecessors, let's work 
on reading and reading.
