Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

February is in the middle of February, and the news of the flowers tells Haruchika even in the cold.

On that day, I went to Izu.

Atami cherry blossoms and Kawazu cherry blossoms will delight your eyes from the train window. I'm looking for a walk around the castle town. I think some reporters have watched on TV a scene where they feared a suspension bridge over a cliff. I should have learned the term of geology in high school, but I can only understand it by looking at the real thing, so I can see it for the first time.

The Hashidate Suspension Bridge is a 25-minute walk from Izukyu Izu Kogen Station, and you can walk along the Tajima River, making it easy to understand. The river became a waterfall on the island and poured into the sea ... but the amount of water was small and it was not a waterfall. The promenade along the coast is well maintained, and the explanation board is clean and easy to read. For pre-learning, the Ito Tourism Association website http://itospa.com/nature_park/np_zyogasaki/ was useful.

　

Well, it's Izu Kogenso, Chuo-ku. You can use the free shuttle bus from Izukyu Izu Kogen Station. Behind the sea, pass through the row of cherry blossom trees with hard buds, and climb up while watching the garden of the villa where plums and Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom, and you will arrive at a calm building.

　

Women will be happy to choose a yukata (there is also a child's size) and a chick decoration (stage decoration and hanging chick) that feels the season. Of course, the smiling staff is the best!

The application for use is from the website of Chuo-ku https://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/sisetugaido/hoyou/izukogenso/izukogensonogoannai.html, which can be used by the general public who is not resident or working in the city.

Please see http://www.izukyucom.co.jp/chuoku/ for details on fees and facilities.

This time I came back without staying, but the location of Izu Highland-so, Ito City, is full of highlights. It is said that Anjin Miura, a British man who had a mansion in Chuo-ku, built a sailing ship at the order of Ieyasu Tokugawa at the mouth of the Matsukawa near Izukyu Ito Station, and an Anjin Festival will be held in August.

Why don't you visit the history of plate tectonic, people and culture based in Izu Highlandsso?

　

In addition, about photography in hall and publication of article, we had consent of staff of Izu Kogenso in Chuo-ku.

 

 

This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and I enjoy myself."

Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
The event was held on February 13 at the Kabukiza Gallery on the 5th floor of Kabukiza Tower.
I went to "Ginza Kiboritei Moeise Extra Edition-Taku Rakugo at Kabukiza Gallery-by TOKYO KOBIKI LAB."



It was my first time to go to the vaudeville, but it was a fusion of anime, manga and rakugo.
It was my first time to learn about the genre of "Taku Rakugo".
I myself had equal knowledge of anime, manga, and games, and I was very worried that I could understand it, but I thought that listening to a new genre of rakugo was also a study, so I got off at Higashi-Ginza Station.

■Kabuki soba
Rakugo started at 19:00, so "We had dinner first...."I thought,"
The famous shop "Kabuki Soba" that I learned from flowing on my friend's Instagram feed!
In this blog, a senior correspondent Tom Shimomachi introduced me before.
It's just behind the Kabukiza Theater, so it's very convenient when you want to finish your meal nearby.



This is a meal ticket system, and I ordered "Mori Kakiage (470 yen)".
(The famous specialty is "Zaru Kakiage (490 yen).")
It took about 20 seconds to give the meal ticket to the shop, select a seat, walk slowly, and take off the coat.
Maybe the timing was good, I came out before I sat down.
If such a skill is so good, Kabuki actors before the actual performance will be able to easily eat it.



Soba is the amount that women can eat without difficulty, and it is also possible to have a large amount of 70 yen!
It's unusual to serve tempura, and it's unique to Kabuki soba.
Tempura mainly contains carrots, onions, and sweet potatoes.
I enjoyed the crispy texture as if it was just fried.
The last order will be at 18:15, so please be careful when using at night.

■Rooftop garden
Even after dinner, I still had some time before the opening.
I went to the rooftop garden of Kabukiza (5th floor, free of charge)
Although it is not clear from the ground, it is a just right place to relax with monuments, lanterns, cherry blossoms, chairs, etc.



From the Goemon stairs on the right side of the garden, you can see the tiled roof of Kabukiza up close.


(The destination down the stairs is "Fourth Floor Corridor-Kabukiza of Memories.")

Many of you may know that phoenix can be seen everywhere in the Kabukiza Theater, but there are many people who know it.
Have you ever heard of the "inverted phoenix" that makes you happy when you find it?


(This is an ordinary phoenix (laughs))

If you are worried, please refer to the article of Senior Correspondents, Satsuki's Koi Blower and Kyoba Peony.

I've been to this garden only during the daytime, but I've never been there.
At night, the moon can be seen without being blocked by other buildings.
I was able to enjoy it at night.



■Kabukiza Gallery
After opening, we met several correspondents and proceeded to the back of the gallery while talking....
Because it's just a gallery, you can not only learn about Kabuki, but also learn about Kabuki.
Looking at the costumes used in Kabuki, props (such as butterflies attached to the tip of the difference), musical instruments, etc., I was able to touch some parts!
Some horses can't be crushed even if adults ride.
It is a very interesting spot where you can enjoy while experiencing black robes, guardianship, and as if you were a Kabuki actor.

■Ginza Kiboritei Moese Extra Edition-Taku Rakugo at Kabukiza Gallery-by TOKYO KOBIKI LAB.
There are three things I thought of as a beginner when I entered the vaudeville.
That means that the Koza is higher than expected, the Koza and the audience seats are closer than expected, and the stage is more colorful than expected (probably limited time).

On this stage, cypress boards and lifting curtains that were actually used in the previous Kabukiza are used.
The Kabukiza Gallery is also available for those who have never seen Kabuki or overseas.
It was made for the purpose of making it easy to touch Kabuki.
These traditional things are also incorporated, so it is a spot that Kabuki fans should visit.

Although the preface has become longer, this time, Yoshiyoshi Shunfutei, who also appears in Nico Nico Doga, appears.
We show off rakugo that includes everything from the shallow to very maniac elements.
There was a lot of laughter in the audience!
I will omit the details because it will be spoiled, but according to the commentary, one seat may contain more than 5 types of anime and manga elements, etc.
A characteristic or well-known line
If you know, the tension goes up saying, "Oh, I understand."

On the other hand, in the case of a person who is not related to anime or manga like me, I am
Although it doesn't fit in lines and character names, you can enjoy the story itself enough.
The last show, "If the retirement of Kotobuki-no-shi is a taku....The setting is ""
"When the classical rakugo Kotobuki is fused with modern culture, it will evolve to this extent and have swelling!"
Rather, I thought it was a chemical reaction in the rakugo world because it was a composition that impressed me.
And in order to get younger generations interested in rakugo, we need to make them more interested in rakugo.
I thought there might be such an idea.

In addition, the person who appeared during the recoloration of Shunfutei Yoshiyoshi has a background so that he could not find something in common with traditional performing arts.
It was impressive that he had successfully linked episodes about his career to laughter.

In addition to rakugo, there is also an interesting talk show featuring popular voice actor Kentaro Tone.
You can listen to the work of voice actors and stories that were synchronized with a famous haiku actor at university.
It was a very valuable experience as I studied.
Taking advantage of this, Kabuki, Rakugo, Noh, puppet ballad drama, etc.
I would like to touch on the traditional performing arts that represent Japan!

 

 

The number of tourists visiting Japan from overseas continues to increase. In response to the so-called increase in inbound demand, new hotels have been established here and there in Tokyo.
Chuo-ku has many attractions, and it is also an attractive area as a gourmet town, so of course, the demand for accommodation is increasing.
Existing hotels cannot respond, so new hotels are being opened in the ward.

Tsukiji originally had many foreign tourists visiting wholesale markets and out-of-office markets, so there were a number of hotels, but new ones have been opened recently. It's nice to be able to choose according to the needs of the guests.

There are also large rooms where you can stay in groups and hotels with connecting rooms. There is also an aim to respond to a variety of accommodation demands.

However, these hotels seem to be quite buried. It's a convenient location for businessmen visiting on business trips, so you can nodd.

I'm worried about what will happen to the hotel situation in Chuo-ku in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics.

 

 

This is Ginza Honjin Fusa, located on the first basement floor of the 27th Central Building, Ginza 2-chome.

This is a store that has already been introduced in this blog.

The place is just halfway between Chuo-ku government office and Showa-dori.

The soba is delicious, the menu is wide, and the inside of the store is quiet and relaxed, so I often use it for lunch.

Today's recommendation, I ordered a daily bowl and a stone milled soba.

Today's daily rice bowl is "Seafood Goshikidon".

I ordered a warm soba.

Goshikidon is tuna, green onion, firstburi, salmon, and whitebait. The fillet is large and fresh.

The combination of seafood bowl and delicious soba is the best.

From Monday to Friday, lunch time is from 11:30 to 14:30 and dinner time is from 17:30 to 22:00.

Saturday, Sunday and public holidays are closed.

We have lunch rotation.

 

 

　For eight days from February 15th to 22nd, FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5) has opened the 10th floor salon space "Royal Room" to the public and is holding "Early Spring Goddess Garden".

One of the winter garden events out of the "seasonal garden events" currently held eight times a year.

The theme this time is "From the Snow Queen to the Spring Fairy."

From the world of the Queen of Snow, the world of spring fairies in full bloom with Christmas rose, budding bulbs, pansies, and violas is produced and invited.

On the 15th, a music event for violinist TSUMUZI will be held twice from 113:30 to 215:00, and during the period, "gardening mini lessons" using bred violas and the unique Pansy viola of individual breeders will also be exhibited and sold.

The first day was the opening in the midst of light snow.
