On September 25, 2018, Kinokuniya opened "KINOKUNIYA entree Nihonbashi Takashimaya Store S.C." on the first floor of the new building at Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C.

The store name "entree" means the entrance in French, and was named with the feeling of "entrance" that welcomes many customers so that you can easily enjoy the commitment and quality of Kinokuniya.

In January and February, we had shopping at the store and had a light meal at the eat-in space.

I visited by myself in January and introduced it to my friend in February.

In January, I bought a pondecajo and had a coffee.

I bought a pondecajo and have a coffee.

In February

　It is recommended when you feel free to enjoy a light meal alone.

The number of seats is limited, so please enjoy another cafe when it is crowded.

Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
As you can see when you look into the department stores in Ginza and Nihonbashi, Valentine's Day is approaching!
Cute sweets are lined up in stores, including overseas chocolates that you can't usually buy.
In recent years, there has been a growing tendency for women to buy slightly luxurious chocolates for themselves.
I feel that chocolate variations are becoming more and more abundant.


(Purchased at Matsuya Ginza 8F. It is a women's favorite royal road and Instagrammable ◎)

There are many delicious chocolate shops in Chuo-ku, so I can't introduce them.
This time, I would like to introduce some heart spots in Chuo-ku that you can enjoy regardless of men and women of all ages.
In addition to Instagram, you may be happy if you visit!

■Ginza area
・GINZA SIX Rooftop Garden (Ginza 6-10-1)
I introduced it in the first article after my correspondent debut.
Hearts can also be enjoyed from the rooftop garden (where is it?)
It is a heart spot that seems known and actually is not well known yet.

・Tenshodo Ginza Main Store (Ginza 4-3-9)
As you all know, there is a cute angel at the corner of this jewelry shop.
This is the work of sculptor Asahiko Yamada, which was set up during the renewal of the Tenshodo in 1997.
As the correspondent seniors have often introduced, wearing a Santa cap depending on the season.
It is a great photo spot for both Japanese and overseas.


(Even if you become a familiar angel, you will take a picture every time you pass nearby.)

Well, you are such an angel, but did you know what you have?
I think you can imagine someone with good intuition, but yes. It's a heart arrow!
I've heard the story that "stroking your head will make love."
Please check this heart when you stroking your head.


(The angel's head tells us that many people have been stroking.)

In fact, heart can now be seen on the main street of Ginza!
Its identity is the leaves of the street tree "Katsura"
Unfortunately, I can't see this season, but I'd like to go see it when it gets warmer.

・Place name sign (This time, we will use a photo of Ginza 3-chome on behalf of.)
This is a "hidden heart" that is a little nice if you find it.
It may be a little overdoing, but did you find it?



The answer is here!



In addition, the heart may be hidden in such places and places that pass sideways many times.

■Tsukiji area
・Tsukiji Honganji (3-15-1 Tsukiji)
It may be surprising, but there is also something like a heart here.
You can see it all over the premises, including main hall.



Well, the reason why I dared to write "like a heart".
In fact, this is not a heart, it is called "Inome".
Since ancient times, it has been used in shrines and temples in the sense of amulet and invitation.



And the name "Inome" is literally derived from "Inoshino eyes".
This year is the year of the boar, so why not look for Inome when visiting shrines and temples?



■Harumi area
・Harumi Wharf
I haven't been able to see it yet, but there seems to be a spot where you can see a series of hearts here.
That's the self-proclaimed “power spot that calls happiness” introduced by senior correspondent George Mayame!
I want to put this on Instagram.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

By the way, I have introduced six heart spots, how was it?
I hope there is also one place where you can think, "I want to go here!"
Because of the Valentine's season, I came to a department store to shop.
Do you not go around heart spot in Chuo-ku?

　From February 6th to 9th, Iwate Prefecture's antenna shop "Iwate Ginga Plaza" (Ginza 5), the Iwate young sake Festival-A drop of the finest drop to you ~ "2019 ~ Nanbu Toji's Hometown Iwate Sake Festival ~" is being held.

Miyazawa Kenji encourages farmers to grow their cultivation and appears in works, and there is also a pure rice sake "Eagle's O Rikuha 132", which is also known as rice related to Kenji.

Tsukiji 1-chome, the first basement floor of the Conwa Building is a restaurant area, and there are a number of delicious shops here.

Today, I would like to introduce the popular steak shop "Steak House Chime".

Each table here is a teppanyaki table, and the shop bakes it in front of you.

It is also pleasant for the shops that bake meat while going around a number of tables.

I ordered pork loin steak

It comes with salad, consommé onion soup and rice.

This recommendation, freshly baked meat with "Spiced Vinegar Soy Sauce" and bean sprouts are the best.

On this day, there was a line after 12:00, so we recommend that you enter the store early after opening.

From Monday to Friday, lunch time is from 11:30 to 15:00 and dinner time is from 18:00 to 21:00.

Closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

I recommend it.

Setsubun, Ritsuharu and February also started running. I remember Tatsunosuke Onoe, who died too early at the age of 40, as if it had been so long after seeing that "the first Tatsunosuke Onoe 33rd anniversary".

When the night performance "Mezuki Hachiman Festival" (Shinsuke Shuya) was performed at Kabukiza in 1983, Shinsuke Shuya was Tatsunosuke, Miyoshi was Takao (Nizaemon), and Geisha Miyoyoshi was Tamasaburo . This time, there is a follow-up, and Nizaemon and Tamasaburo meet the relationship with Matsu Midori. The enchanting entanglement between Tamasaburo and Nizaemon, the role of Joyu, creates a unique atmosphere of a famous combination for many years. In the scene where Shinsuke Shuya, who was betrayed and confused by the drizzle of the collapse of Eitai Bridge on the day of the Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Festival, killed Miyokichi, when the drizzle spread on the stage, the vinyl cover distributed `` for the use of this water '' It is a turn. It's distributed up to the second row today. It's something exciting to find it on your seat.

"Today's Holiday Harukoma" is a dance of Soga kyogen, and Goro Soga's eldest son is near the left of Matsu Midori's eldest son, but Kumatori also appears very well, and his neighbor "It looks like Tatsunonosuke!" 。 "Kumagaya Jinya" is Mr. Yoshiemon, and the psychology of Kumagaya is transmitted straight, and handkerchiefs are here and there. It's a famous performance.

Matsu Midori plays the first role of "Sushiya" Igami Gonta in the daytime, and is "Oshimatsu in the Darkness" and "Dango sales".

Special brewing "Kumagaya" and "Igami no Gonta" have been released following this month's performance.

The 26th of February Daikabuki is Senakiraku.

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

　Tepposu Inari Shrine, which has gathered the religion of local people as a shrine enshrined at the entrance of Edo Minato.

The annual "Setsubun Festival" is held on February 3, the day before spring. 16:00～

Yata, the mayor of Chuo Ward, and other attendees of the role of Shinto ritual Fuku bean-throwing ceremony, appeared in Kagura Hall one after another after completing their worship at main hall, saying, "Fuku is inside! The demon is outside! ", and pay the demon and invite the fortune.

With the sound of the rhythm of Tepposhu Hayashi that matches the bean-throwing ceremony in the background, when a large amount of fukuzu with sachets begins, the hands of a large number of children gathered at once.

A local fire brigade responds to the crowd security in the form of dispatch clothes.

There was also a lottery that could be exchanged for prizes, and the precincts were wrapped in lively shouts and enthusiasm.
