A little more to Valentine's Day! Six Heart Spots in Chuo-ku

[Hanes] February 8, 2019 14:00


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.

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.)

・Chuo-dori (Ginza-dori)
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?
