We are staying at the Royal Park Hotel! (The child treasure of Mizutengu)

[Grandpa] 14:00 on May 12, 2014

Since it has been introduced on correspondent blogs so far,

I think many of you already know,

Currently, "Koho Inu" of Suitengu are staying at the Royal Park Hotel.

However, it seems that it is not possible to relax at the hotel,

It seemed to be very busy with greetings and photography with everyone who visited

By the way, it is Mizutengu, which is being rebuilt, but it seems that the completion of this shrine hall is scheduled to be two years later.

At present, a temporary shrine is enshrined in Nihonbashihamacho.

※Mizutengu Shrine in Nihonbashi was built by Mr. Arima of Kurume feudal lord during the Edo period.

  It was the beginning that he recommended a branch spirit to Edo-yashiki (present-day Mita, Minato-ku).

  Later, in 1872, he was transferred to his current company site (Nihonbashikakigaracho).

From the Royal Park Hotel to the temporary palace,

It is convenient to use the free shuttle bus "Kohomaru", but

When it's warm and cheerful, take a short walk.

Take a leisurely stroll around amazake Yokocho and Ningyocho neighborhoods,

It may be fun to line up with popular shops!

I'm 100 years old! (Lion statue of Mitsukoshi, Nihonbashi)

[Grandpa] 14:00 on April 15, 2014

                  

The Nihonbashi area is more and more crowded with the opening of Coredo Muromachi 2.3.

Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store is located across the street from Coredo Muromachi to Chuo-dori.
 

The building of this main building is expected to celebrate its 100th anniversary this year.

Opened in March of this year (2014) with Koredo Muromachi-san

Mitsukoshi, who was completed 100 years ago (1914), is facing each other in the same place.

That's fine.

 
And speaking of Mitsukoshi, yes, it is a lion statue.

At the front entrance of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, two lions will welcome us at any time.

And the lions, too, turned 100 this year.

※The lion’s hands were shaken by hand with everyone.
 

On this day we celebrate the 100-year-old lions.

Even a costumed lion and a golden lion statue,

The event was held grandly.

Congratulations to the lions!

I look forward to seeing you!
