In the comment of this photo, "Look at Ginza Street and Kyobashi Street" 

Yes, it is.

It is an old monochrome picture postcard before the war.

(↑ Click to increase the image.)

It was shot in the direction of Kyobashi from the current Chuo-dori / Ginza 2-chome area, and a tram runs on Chuo-dori, showing people riding bicycles.

It is hard to see, but the upper left part of the photo shows the 7-story First Mutual Hall completed in 1921.　

This building was rebuilt afterwards, and after the second generation completed in 1971, it was transformed into the current 110 tower of the mutual building three years ago.

To the west of the building, a new Tokyo Square Garden is also open. 

Tokyo Square Garden has a nice restaurant and shop service, and underground there is also a glass-filled central FM studio.

In this studio, a talk by a correspondent in Chuo-ku "Tori" is also broadcast on Weekday.

The Kyobashi redevelopment project is under construction in 2 blocks north, and next fall, a large-scale building with a design that takes advantage of the exterior of the long-established Meijiya headquarters building will be completed.

Right now, the Kyobashi area is hot and has become a hot spot.

A straight road that runs from Ginza through Kyobashi to Nihonbashi.

A street that extends to a bright future, still at the center of civilization.

We recommend a refreshing walking that feels comfortable while feeling the changing times.

This photo shows 'Sarnokoshikake' that lives in Tsukiji.

I found something that grew on a tree planted on the exterior of Tsukiji Market in Chuo-ku, and I don't know the original tree name or the correct name of "Sarnokoshikake".

Near the fruit and vegetable gates, quietly, but dignified

The diameter of the longer one is more than 20 centimeters in size.

If you look closely, you can see that the stripes like annual rings spread in a circle, and it is presumed that they grew after a reasonable date and time.

Near the fruit and vegetable gates, there are few turrets coming and going, such as the main gate and market Hashikado, and there are no many tourists coming and going like Umiyuki Hashikado, so you can feel the herbivory atmosphere as the name suggests .

Tsukiji Market is particularly famous for its handling of marine products such as tuna and crabs, but the Fruits and Vegetables Department also handles vegetables, fruits, pickles and bird eggs.

A walking course that visits Honganji from Tsukiji Subway Station, passes through Monzeki Street (Shin-ohashi-dori St.), and leads to the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is also recommended during this season.

In that case, please find this trick.

Maybe a small cat is sitting down.

This postcard is an old photo of Kachidokibashi.

 
I don't know when it was shot, but I think it was the post-war Showa 30s.
I can feel the smell of high economic growth.
The scenery of Kachidokibashi was still jumping up, and the bridge was not opened at the end of S45, but various valuable materials and information are available on display at the Kachidokibashi Museum in Tsukiji 6-chome.
There is also a mechanical Muromi study tour to jump the bridge.

 
In the evening, Kachidokibashi is beautifully illuminated around the blue and green lights.

　"Warm the deceased and know the new one."
Why don't you walk once and cross Kachidokibashi?

This photo is a photo of an old postcard and shows the scenery of Nihonbashi.

I don't know when it was shot, but I feel the times.

It seems to capture the direction of Muromachi from the Nihonbashi area in the foreground.

The solid Nihonbashi and the stately Mitsukoshi are very impressive.

In this photo, only low buildings have been built yet.

Hot items such as "Nihonbashi COREDO Muromachi" and "YUITO" which are popular now.

NEW Nihonbashi district is also shown.

"Warm the deceased and know the new one."

Create a new Nihonbashi area full of entertainment day and night

Why don't you visit and enjoy it very much?

This year, the annual Tsukiji Honganji Noryo Bon Dance Festival has started.

This Bon Dance Festival is "the best store in Japan (demise) '" is famous.

On the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, there are many selected stores, including a long-established store in Tsukiji, surrounding the Bon Odori venue.
Tables and chairs are also available at the venue.

 
Since it is held until August 2, why not participate in Bon Odori and enjoy delicious food?

This insect is a ladybug called Nami Tento, which was found in the Hamarikyu Garden.

There are various types of patches on the back of Nami Tento, but Nami Tento in the photo is two red crests on a black background, and if you look at the head above, it looks like an ultraman face, It looks like a mask sold at a festival night shop.

The Hamarikyu Garden is home to a variety of flora and fauna.
There are many plants, many crabs and fish in the tide pond, as well as seagull and many species of birds flying in the sky above the sky, including the 300-year-old pine trees planted in honor of the great renovation of the garden by the sixth shogun Ienobu Tokugawa.

This is the best time to see the flowers of Japanese iris and the blooming hydrangea. Why don't you go to the Hamarikyu Garden in early summer this weekend?
