Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The other day, I went to Akashicho on a tour. It's where St. Luke Hospital is located.

This was also a former foreign settlement in the Meiji era.

　It's also the birthplace of the Mission School.

　

Just lunch. The church rang. The sound is a hymn.

　

　September is Disaster Prevention Month. How many years have passed since my father-in-law died?

I heard that during the Great Kanto Earthquake, I went to Rikkyo Junior High School in Tsukiji.

"The private school has a long summer vacation and went to my sister's house in Oita to play and save lives." .

It seems that his home at that time was located in Ginza 3-chome.

So I walked along St. Luke Street to Ginza.

　

A three-story building with a green-blue roof

Miyagawa food chicken egg shop. (1-4-7 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku)

　

Since it was founded Meiji, my father-in-law must have passed in front of this store.

　

There's an old phone number on the wall of the table.

From the left, Tokyo representative, 54, 177.

　

　An acquaintance brought me to a souvenir

Harajuku's "Hachitake" tea cloth sushi.

It has been four years since I moved to Tsukiji. (2-8-8 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku)

　

I bought a tea cloth and went home.

After all, it's delicious.

　

　Did my father-in-law look at a wooden Tsukiji Honganji that is not Indian style?

It is Ginza 2-chome brand intersection.

　

Walk straight to the front of the plantn for 30 minutes.

I arrived at Ginza 3-chome on Namiki-dori St.

It was a 30-minute school road one way.

　

Born in Meiji, he was very tall, white, and was like a British gentleman.

In the vicinity of the equinoctial week, unexpectedly historical things, and

It was a day when my personal things got together.

 

 

I went to the East Theater, which is being screened at the MET Opera Live Viewing Encore. It's a good chance to see what you missed in the past season. Since 2006, seasonal metropolitan operas can be viewed at a low price at movie theaters, so opera fans around the world can enjoy it.

It's very popular. You can enjoy a live screening at the movie theater. A little disappointing is that when you go to the Opera, you can see the singer's skills in hand, but since it passes through the sound source, the volume is adjusted, so anyone can listen well and the same amount of voice I wonder if there is.

Higashi drama is operated by Shochiku, so it is famous for the screening of "Tsuki 1 Kabuki".

　

We are aiming to replay Bize's "Pearl Picking" and Puccini's "Manon Lesko", which were missed in the 2015-16 season. In addition, there is a discount of 500 from the season screening.

"Manon" 10:30 Screening　→　I've taken out some time. I feel like I went to the New York Metropolitan Opera House.

The interviewer Deborah Boito is now available. `I saw it before,' ！！　

"Manon" is different.

The opera performance time is long, so I don't have time to watch the second show. It was "Manon Lesko" that I wanted from three p.m.

　

I've been watching it for 10 years since 2006, but I've been away from watching the opera for a while, and I made a basic mistake.

Well, I'm going to see the combination of Netrepco & Pechawa again! ?

I will never make a mistake next time.

I wanted to see an Italian opera, not a French opera.

It was a great mistake, but I enjoyed watching it.

　

When I left the drama, I found a picture of Seiji Togo and was even more happy to see Mont Blanc in Jiyugaoka, who has been familiar with since childhood. .

See you again.

　

The other day, after the tour of the Japan Industrial Club Hall, I stopped by at Ginza Mitsukoshi to send Western sweets to an acquaintance.

There was a lion in the store number, but the shutter was closed.

I'm surprised!　Chinese tourists are also disappointed!

　

From Mitsukoshi, go to Ginza TOKYU PLAZA.

Although it is different from the famous Ginza 100-year store, I stopped by my favorite "KAMURO". It's an eyeglass store. Recently, I've been getting sick, so I decided to make something new.

　

If you draw a "lottery" here, you won the 2nd prize!　I'm lucky to have a little discount!

The glasses will be ready at a later date. I'm looking forward to it.

Misunderstands and misfortunes are likely to end with lucky chances and fall.

 

 

　Blessed with good weather for the first time in a long time, I participated in a tour of "Chuo-ku's boat cruise and Nihonbashi Long-established Tour" from Nihonbashi Pier.

The lion of Nihonbashi is the guardian of the capital Tokyo. There are four north-south corners and pillars in the middle of the two arches, a lion head of 4 × 6 and a bridge, respectively.

So how many lions are there?　Lion = 16!　

The correct answer is 32.　　　And in the center of the balustrade of the bridge, Kirin has two wings and two branched corners. He said he hoped for a great leap in Tokyo. It's a wonderful figure.

The cruise has begun. Scent of river wind and tide in pleasant ship shaking.

 

Well, what is the illusion of the eyes?

Large giraffes in Tsukishima's warehouses

　　

 It seems to be a cafe that uses a warehouse. Let's go out next time by train with a little child.

 It doesn't work, but it's as big as the real thing. 2 corners

　When I looked at the real giraffe at the zoo, I remembered that there were two or three corners and the stripes were different one by one. They actually have five horns

 

　The trace of the fun cruising goes around the long-established store, after tasting and shopping, and says, "Today the distance is long but I do not walk 10,000 steps a day."

 

　Well, at the corner of Yaesu Street

This is the crown giraffe as you all know. The crown shines at night.

 

　The number of steps taken at home today is 10,506 steps.

　There was a single corner of Kirin in the refrigerator.

It was a fun day.

 

 

　"It's been a long time!　How are you?"

I met Mr. Old Rose, an acquaintance, in a conference room in a skyscraper building at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.

She is Fresh Woman, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. (I'm sophmore!?) ）

On the day of the event, there was a lecture of the boating guide workshop.

　　

The lecturer is a teacher of the NPO "Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association".

　

From the Nihonbashi dock, go down the Nihonbashi River to the Sumida River. Look at Eitai Bridge poorly, go a little back up the Sumida River, and go upstream from Yanagibashi to Kanda River.

Then cross the Ochanomizu Valley, enter the Nihonbashi River again in front of Iidabashi, and return to the Nihonbashi Pier. ～

　

　The course time is one and a half hours. There was a break on the way, but the flowing commentary seemed like I was on a boat.

　

　Two days later, I got on a boat from Nihonbashi Pier on a hands-on experience. Mr. Old Rose and I have one flight.

 

　After boarding, wear a life jacket. My heart is excited.

　The teacher at the time of the classroom is the guide. It was a beautiful commentary on the desk, but the actual boat is quiet without noise in the city. The sound of the ship and the sound of the waves

The voice of the guide was a pleasant rhythm, and it was 1 hour and 20 minutes in no time.

　From the fact that Komura of Musashi Country became a world town that is strong in defense called "Edo Castle Sosei", and after the Meiji Restoration until the early Meiji era

It is clear that the mainstream of logistics was boat transportation.

　It's not a gondola, so it doesn't shake. If it starts to rain on the way, a white rain feather (!?) Will be distributed to everyone and will not get wet.

 There are many rivers and diggings in Tokyo, such as the Kamejima River, Onagi River, and Tate River, and it's like Venice! ?　I didn't know it.

　

　Tokyo, seen from the river, is a view that cannot be seen in everyday life.

　Looking at the passing of the Shinkansen, Shohei Bridge near Akihabara.

Look at the red brick marchecut to the left and see the stone wall of outer moat Edo Castle. And Nihonbashi.

　

　I had a relaxing time.

　

　After disembarking, we have lunch with Mr. Old Rose. I waited a little side by side outside the tempura meal "Kaneko Hannosuke", but as soon as I was talking about the boating guide, my turn came.

Freshly fried tempura and all-you-can-eat squid, kinpira, and pickled chopsticks. The volume and taste are perfect. It was a shop worthy of line. Another sister store I went to after dinner. It was a long line.

　

At the entrance of the Mitsukoshi Main Store, we greeted the robot Pepper, and after purchasing a cute Pochi bag and Japanese paper tape with the newly renovated Japanese paper "Haibara", I returned home with a silver brush.

 

 

It's hot every day.

Is it near the end of the rainy season? Let's kill time in a cool place during the hot summer.

It may be a nearby library, but this month I tried Kabuki.

　

　I was very busy last month and I completely forgot to get a ticket!

　I had time, so when I saw the Kabukiza ticket on the Kabukiza ticket for the daytime performance "Genji store (Genji store)" and "Spider thread" and "Spider thread"!　No seats available!　

　Then "Cinema Kabuki".

　"109 Cinemas" was made in Futago-tama, and it was very close, so I went out. I watch opera every season in the metropolitan Live Viewing movie, but Cinema Kabuki was the first time. The good or bad in a movie is that you can hear all the voices, as well as operas. On the main stage, you can see that the volume of voice is different.　The performance is "Yoshizo Sannin". I enjoyed it in the cool and beautiful building.

　

　But~!　That's right! If you stand up, you can see the main stage.

　Is it okay if it's an hour before the sale of the standing ticket?　I went out a few days later and lined up. I saw it throughout the day.

　

　The first act is "Minamiso Satomi Hakkenden", but since the time is not long, it is patient with standing. Most customers will return after seeing one act. Foreign people with blond hair just come to Kabuki experience. The second and third acts sat in the center.

  I saw the performance I wanted to see, and the performance was quite good. It was a half day of satisfaction.

　But it's been a long time since I had a standing seat. Once a student. After that, when Muty was conducting in Scalar, Milan, I bought it once from an Italian duff shop. It's okay because I was able to sit in the seat, but I guess I'm so young that I can see Kabuki's three acts while standing. Don't forget to buy an advance sale for September's "Previous Hagi"!

　

 

 

　When the blog was posted for the first time in a long time, I was asked to appear on the radio of Chuo FM. It's still before the broadcast, but the recording was in the middle of last month. From the story of a blog article, for some reason, "B-grade gourmet?" The topic changed, and "On my trip to Chiba, I stopped by" Soba Yoshi ". I buy a meal ticket at a vending machine and carry the finished product from the counter to the seat by myself at an inexperienced cheap soba restaurant. It is fresh, the vegetable tempura of Kakiage soba is delicious, and the soup stock is moderately satisfactory. It was interesting to bring the soba inoguchi next to the counter and put it in.' I talked like that.　In Tokyo, I heard that there was "Sobayoshi" near "Mitsukoshi Main Store", so I thought I would stop by after recording. I love it again! I heard that there was a monument to the Fifth Fukuryu Maru at Tsukiji Market, but I wasn't aware of where it was in the fish market that I went out several times. I'm going to go out.

　

　　It was right next to the main gate of Tsukiji Market.

　

　　An acquaintance who temporarily returned to Japan from France said, "I'm in Ginza now. I want to eat delicious Japanese soba! "I received a call saying "Soba Yoshi" and started eating soba at Meigetsuan "Tanakaya" in Ginza.

　

　"Natsuno" used to buy some chopsticks for Japanese souvenirs, saw the "Brick Monument" at Ginza 1-chome, and after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Ginza Brick Street filled the wet streets of Shinagawa Togoshi, The story that became the station name of "Togoshi Ginza" on the current Tokyu Meguro Line. The bricks in Ginza were made at a brick factory in Shinagawa, so I returned to my hometown (!?) After that, I went to Kinharu Street in Ginza 8-chome. Here is also the "Ginza Brick Monument". When the building was constructed around this area, an old brick wall came out, and while the brick was talking about Nado on display at the Edo Tokyo Museum, it was said that "Dinner is eel!" To the eel. (I'm sorry, it's in Chiyoda-ku.)
