Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/confident.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/clover.gif) In mid-February, I heard that there was a special exhibition that I could not miss for British lovers. I went to a very quaint gallery in Ginza. The gallery is a senior correspondent Gimini. ☆Mr. Cricket (2016, 2017, 2018) and Mr. Usako of Tsukuda have also been introduced. MUSEE GINZA was created by preserving and regenerating modern architecture (retro building) built in 1932!
![Thumbnail image of IMG_4424.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4424-thumb-500xauto-72502-thumb-500x375-72503.jpg) The entrance is on the left side.
The details of the building itself can be found in the article by Usako Tsukuda, so this time I omitted it. I would like to introduce you from the places you care about inside the building.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
■Entrance to stairs First of all, press the intercom to open the door. On the left side of the door is the Palnas Vienna interior, filled with the charm of the Vienna Separation, displayed in the showcase. And on the wall next to the elongated stairs that stretches in front, It is decorated with postcards (Sansanmabori, Cafe-Heyday, Occupation Ginza, etc.) that show the state of Ginza for the 90 years that this building has walked. Each time you climb the stairs, rare historical materials make time slip.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/sandclock.gif)
![Musee Ginza.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Musee%20Ginza-thumb-500xauto-72497.jpg) Also, because it is a building in the early Showa era, I found an old Kyobashi Tax Corporation Member Securities in the middle of the stairs! There are several buildings built in Ginza at the same time. Even though the exterior is retro, there may not be much left from the time. Therefore, these casual things are actually rare.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
![IMG_4407.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4407-thumb-autox667-72499.jpg)
■Observation and Experimental Space When I visited the gallery, there was a customer who had an aesthetic eye. We had you show the rooftop before the exhibition.
![Roof_Musee.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Roof_Musee-thumb-500xauto-72508.jpg)
Normally, the rooftop of buildings is not open to the public. It seems that installations and performances are also experimentally performed here. It is a valuable spot where you can see Showa-dori from an open space.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif)
![Roof.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Roof-thumb-500xauto-72511.jpg)
■Special exhibition "The World of British Theater Architecture THE WORLD OF BRITISH THEATER" After enjoying the rooftop for a while, go to the long-awaited exhibition.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif) In this exhibition, we will focus on the goodness and historical axis of British theater architecture that flourished at the West End. On display are 16 copperplate prints excerpted from ancient books that convey its history (published in the early 19th century).
![MUSEE_GINZA-The_world_of_British_Theater_Architecture38.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/MUSEE_GINZA-The_world_of_British_Theater_Architecture38-thumb-500xauto-72524.jpg) (Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrand Design)
The British theater, which is the theme this time, has been updated with the times. Young people in Japan also visit theaters. It can be said that traditional Japanese performing arts still have little support from the younger generation.
In addition, it is difficult to use old buildings that have once finished their role in Japan as they are. It is often demolished and reborn as a new building. However, Rikihiro Kawasaki, who bought this building, updated the architectural space like the British theater. We have succeeded in preserving and regenerating the building by giving a new role by taking advantage of the land of Ginza.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
In this way, this exhibition is linked to Mr. Kawasaki's idea of preserving the building. It is said that it is actually used at the subway station in London for this exhibition. We obtained Stair Nosings (Stair Nosings) from AATi in the United Kingdom, which will be adopted for the first time in Japan, as a custom order after six months of negotiations. I was surprised because it was installed on the stairs by myself.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/paper.gif) This may be because it was originally a construction company in Kyushu. This hardware is often used in British theater architecture, and one of the highlights is the attention that shines in such details.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif)
![IMG_4375.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4375-thumb-500xauto-72530.jpg)
And I'm interested in the exhibition, as shown in the figure below (The New Theatre Royal in Hay Market in 1821). Some of them have a gorgeous and glittering British theater, but that's not the only one!
![musee_1.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_1-thumb-500xauto-72600.jpg) (Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrand Design)
You can see the uniqueness of the era, British culture, and architectural elements everywhere in the illustrations, so your imagination just expands.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif) For example, this illustration depicting the choir of St Saviour's (January 1, 1814 Robert Wilkinson published). I get the impression that the clear hymn is echoing throughout the church, but if you look closely at the details, you will find it even more interesting.
![musee_2.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_2-thumb-500xauto-72602.jpg) (Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrand Design)
(The upper part of the photo) Near the ceiling of the pointed arch, which is unique to the Gothic style, is decorated like roses. :You can see ribs (reinforcement members provided at key points such as board materials to increase the strength of steel structures, and decorations attached to intersections of "ribs").
![musee_3.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_3-thumb-500x403-72605.jpg)
(Lost left in the photo) Sculpture decoration like an angel (lower right of the photo) like the Royal Standard
I will omit the details, but in English church architecture, in addition to the distinctive style and stained glass, which are often seen in the eyes. In this detail, "What is this?" There are charms such as "I'm worried!"![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/key.gif)
And Mr. Kawasaki says, the most pessimistic work in this exhibition is. It depicts Drury Lane Theatre, which was fired on the night of February 24, 1809. At times when evacuation methods and time required for fire extinguishing were different from modern times.... How did the people around you evacuate and what kind of sight did you see?...![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif) I think you can know that from this illustration.
![musee_5.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_5-thumb-500xauto-72608.jpg) (Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrand Design)
The old books handled this time were published by the publisher of Robert Wilkinson (1768-1825), who created the map. Check not only the illustrations depicting the theater, but also the map.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/paper.gif) You can see the records of the fire and where and what occupations lived, so it's interesting to see it.
![musee_6.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_6-thumb-500xauto-72610.jpg) (A PLAN OF THE FIRE IN BISHOPGATE STREET, part of CORNHILL AND LEADENHALL STREET.)
And this exhibition can also be purchased! Unlike ordinary antique illustrations, it can be purchased at a very affordable price. It's also surprising that three illustrations were sold only on the day of the visit.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/sweat01.gif)
![musee_7.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/musee_7-thumb-500xauto-72612.jpg) (Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrand Design)
I can't introduce all the works on this blog. You can see old British illustrations that you don't usually see easily. It's also nice to be able to shoot in the gallery like a British museum.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif)
<Aside> Adolf Loos Designed by Loth, famous for "art is guilt" (i.e., "progress in culture is to eliminate decoration from daily necessities"), Cafe Muséum is characterized by simple interiors. The gallery also displays a rare chair with a design similar to the Muzeum chair that was there (available). This Loth's thought sounds somewhat radical, It was so simple that some buildings were pointed out by the authorities because they were too simple.... But he later became a pioneer in Modernism architecture, and now he has become Vienna as a representative of the architectural world.
I'm not very familiar with art, but I saw a chair about this cafe Museum. I feel like I was able to understand a little bit about MUSEE GINZA's vision and stance. As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to enter a gallery that does not face the road surface. I think there are times when I don't notice what is happening in the first place.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/despair.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/typhoon.gif)
However, as you can see in the gallery name, you feel like going to MUSEE (Museum). I felt like it was an open space where everyone could enjoy art.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif) And the uniqueness of “MUSEE (Museum)” that appeals to the sensitivity of visitors is the essence of “MUSEE” that appeals to visitors. It is an art-sensitive land called Ginza, which is embodyed while being updated!
This exhibition, which the owner Kawasaki was particular about, will be held until March 17th. Please drop in if you are near you.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/foot.gif)

February 27, 2019 12:00
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/confident.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/clover.gif) The other day, I went to the special exhibition Edo lottery "Wealth"-rich, dream of common people-a special exhibition held at the Money Museum until February 24 (Sun). Photos cannot be posted inside because photography is prohibited, but photos cannot be posted. If you are interested in the exhibition, please check the link above.
![DSC_3714.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/DSC_3714-thumb-500xauto-72347.jpg)
By the way, it is a familiar lottery for those who have taken the Chuo-ku sightseeing test, but it is a familiar lottery. Let's check what it was based on "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia that can be seen on foot"![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif)
■What is Edo's lottery performance? ・Major outbreaks during the Hoei era (1704-1711)![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dollar.gif) ・The purpose is to pay for the renovation of shrines and temples. ・In 1842, it was banned by the reform by Tadakuni Mizuno.
I am vaguely thinking that it would be a lottery-like betting because it was just a "rich lottery". I didn't dig any further, though When I saw this exhibition, I looked a little bit about what I was interested in.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/book.gif)
■There was no "he" group! One of the exhibits this time was the "Wealth Number Book". This event was held at the lottery performance held in Yagamura, Ashigara-kami-gun, Sagami in 1862. This is a book with a copy of the name and number of the issued wealth bill.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/flair.gif)
The commentary states, "In the order of Iroha, 10 sets, from" I "to" ru "( lacking" he "), and 100 pieces of each group, a total of 1,000 pieces of wealth bills were issued." "Why do you lack 'he'?" At that time, the first thing I came up with was the Edomachi fire extinguisher group introduced earlier. Here, there are no He / La / Hi / Ngumi, and in order they lead to "fart", hidden words, "fire", and poor language. It is said that there were no such groups.
![Hikeshi.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Hikeshi-thumb-500x375-72364.jpg)
Regarding this matter, we did not find any description in the literature. In the reference book (published at the end of the article), there was a commentary such as "The good characters such as Sho-chiku-bai, Tsurugame, and Seven Lucky Gods are used to mark the set" (p. 340). Therefore, I can't hear congratulations due to the same association as the town fire extinguisher group. "He" may have been omitted (* It's my guess.)
■Actually, world wide! "Fukuji" was already practiced in Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the early modern era as a form of urban gambling. In 1521, the town-run "Fukuji" was released in Osnabruck, Germany, and the "Fukuji" sold in Laurence, Italy in 1530 has a prize money." (p. 59). (Original quote: "Dream is on the world ... Ayumi of the 30th Year of Lottery" (Daiichi Kangyo Bank Lottery Department, 1975), p. 10)
In world history, Pope Leo XIV, from the Medici family, was just before Luther's religious reform. I learned that he sold a reminder to raise funds for the renovation of San-Pietro Cathedral.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/pencil.gif) It is similar to the lottery in terms of raising funds for renovation. The appeasement says, "If you buy, the sins of this world will be redeemed and you will go to heaven." It is different from lottery in that it has a stronger religious color.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/flair.gif)
However, the fact that there was something equivalent to Japan's "rich lottery" existed in Western Europe. This is the first time I learned about how it was done. Like Edo, I was also worried about whether it was banned at some time! I don't write in detail here, but if you are interested, please go to the library.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif)
■Visit the monument of Tomizuka Sugimori Shrine in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho has a "Tomizuka Monument" commemorating the once-largest lottery performance. The monument seen today was rebuilt after the Great Kanto Earthquake and is registered as a ward-owned folk cultural property.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
![IMG_4673.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4673-thumb-autox667-72366.jpg)
When purchasing a lottery, some people pray for winning here. It seems that dreaming of getting rich is the same in the Edo period.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dollar.gif)
<Aside> The coming of spring When I visited Sugimori Shrine, there was a customer in Chozuya! That's two cute Japanese white-eye![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif)
![white-eye.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/white-eye-thumb-500xauto-72374.jpg)
I was bathing with beautiful colored wings and drinking water. It seems that spring has come so far.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/cherryblossom.gif)

February 24, 2019 09:00
Good evening. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/confident.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/clover.gif) The other day, on the way back to the seasonal waterfront course by bicycle. Coincidentally a cute shop was caught in my eyes and I've been detouring!
![IMG_4509.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4509-thumb-500xauto-71830.jpg)
This shop, which is wonderful even at night, is a flower shop FANCY FLOWER STORE. It has a different atmosphere from other flower shops, and it is elaborate on the display. It looks like a reference for gardening.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/bud.gif)
![IMG_4501.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4501-thumb-500xauto-71838.jpg)
We handle houseplants, flowers, and preserved flowers. If you look closely, you will find even cooking herbs, and it will be fun just by looking at them.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![fancy.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/fancy-thumb-500x400-71997.jpg)
However, as you can see in the picture, it's not just cute! At this counter, which is attached to the flower shop, you can purchase special drinks.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif)
![IMG_4490.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4490-thumb-500xauto-71833.jpg)
The menu includes green smoothies with cold prevention and beautiful skin effects, daily smoothies. And non-sugar winter-only HOT lemonade using domestic lemons.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![fancy_lemonade.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/fancy_lemonade-thumb-500x401-71835.jpg)
The sweetness of nature that cannot be reproduced with commercially available lemonade is gentle. It also served as a supplement to vitamins, and it was delicious.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/heart01.gif)
![Thumbnail image of IMG_4515.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4515-thumb-500xauto-71994-thumb-500x375-71996.jpg)
If Mr. Itoya's lemonade is a stationery store's lemonade. This is a flower shop's lemonade![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/flair.gif) Perhaps because it was a job that values the scent of flowers, I felt that the scent of lemonade was excellent.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
![DSC_3687.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/DSC_3687-thumb-500xauto-71825.jpg)

February 22, 2019 18:00
Hello. It's Hanes, a new correspondent! Recently, I got a sports bike for some reason, so I took a trial ride in the city.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/bicycle.gif) Considering the traffic volume of pedestrians and cars in the city center, the maintenance of bicycle paths, etc. Rather than enjoying running, I feel that pottering to enjoy visiting historical sites and shops is more suitable.
However, when it comes to sports bikes, pottering in the town is not enough....![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/gawk.gif) One thing to say selfishness is that I want a variety of undulations and scenery.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/paper.gif) This time, I would like to introduce a course (Hanes style) that fulfills such hope. (* Photos in the article are taken at different times of multiple days.)
◼️ Seasonal Waterfront Course Itinerary: Tsukiji - Toyomi - Harumi - Toyosu - Harumi - Kachidoki - Tsukiji Time required (approximate): 45 minutes to 1 hour Course Overview: A course for everyone who enjoys a variety of undulations and scenery in addition to seasonal spots such as Harumi's Athlete Village and Toyosu Market. Recommended time zone: At any time
![Thumbnail image of mymap3.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/mymap3-thumb-500xauto-71965-thumb-500x395-71966.jpg)
The starting point is in front of the Kachidokibashi Museum, located near Kachidokibashi. Even if you go cycling in a group, there is a space where people can gather without disturbing pedestrians. It is safe because there is also a public toilet.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/toilet.gif) For those who come for sightseeing or do not have a bicycle, a community cycle with electric assist is convenient.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif) I will introduce you later, but please check this map for the nearby cycle ports.
①Museum in Kachidokibashi In front of the museum, there are monuments of the Navy Accounting School and traces of Kachidoki. You can learn about the history of Kachidoki before departure.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/pencil.gif) And if you are lucky, you may see bulbuls that stop in the surrounding trees.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![bulbul.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/bulbul-thumb-500x401-71854.jpg)
Well, the preface has become longer, but now we'll start for a ride in the waterfront area!
②Tsukiji Outer Market The first thing you can see on your left after you start running is Tsukiji Outer Market, which is lined with about 460 shops.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/fish.gif) The average number of tenants at major department store food department stores in Tokyo is said to be around 80. It's calculated that there are 5.7 times more shops here. Please note that there is a large amount of pedestrians and cars around the out-of-market market.
Also, if you want to start around this area, which has good access from subway stations and out-of-market markets, you can use it as a starting point. There is a cycle port near the traffic light of Ichiba Bridge, so it is convenient to use it here.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif)
![IMG_4534.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4534-thumb-500xauto-71860.jpg)
If you go south along the site of the market for a while, you will see a sticker indicating the entrance of Route 2 for pedestrians and bicycles. It may be a bit difficult to understand for the first time, but the entrance is right in front of Ote-mon gate Bridge!
![IMG_4535.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4535-thumb-500xauto-71857.jpg)
It turns a little bit when entering and exiting, but most of it is straight and wide, making it easier to run.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif) While paying attention to pedestrians, it opens and crosses the bridge for about three months.
![IMG_4425.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4425-thumb-500xauto-71862.jpg)
③Hamarikyu Onshi Garden In the middle of a comfortable ride, you can enter your view.... Historic scenery and seasonal flowers of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a nationally designated special scenic spot and special historic site. In mid-February, I could see some of the canola flower, which is now in full bloom.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif)
![IMG_4427.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4427-thumb-500xauto-71864.jpg)
When I looked down on the surface of the water, I felt like I was called by someone. A cute waterfowl was swimming with dexterous water.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/heart01.gif)
![IMG_4539.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4539-thumb-500xauto-71899.jpg)
If you go a little further, you will see the Hamarikyu dock, the lighthouse ruins, the Tsukiji River sluice gate, etc. From this area, you can see the famous buildings of the ancient and modern times, Hamarikyu Garden and Rainbow Bridge at the same time!
![IMG_4433.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4433-thumb-500xauto-71867.jpg)
④Tsukiji Ohashi The flat road ends once in front of the bridge and becomes a gentle uphill. Senior correspondent Mr. Satsuki's Koi Blower introduced it before. Check the calligraphy of former Tokyo Governor Yoichi Masuzoe and proceed to the destination!
![Tsukiji Ohashi.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Tsukiji%20Ohashi-thumb-500x401-71891.jpg)
After crossing the bridge, head to the pier with a ship from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif)
![IMG_4541.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4541-thumb-500xauto-71897.jpg)
⑤Toyomi Fisheries Wharf This area has many warehouses and many trucks. There is a view that looks like a port town reminiscent of a market in Tsukiji.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/yacht.gif)
![IMG_4442.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4442-thumb-500xauto-71902.jpg)
From here, you can see Harumi Wharf, the athlete's village under construction, the Rainbow Bridge, etc. It's not as famous as Harumi Wharf, but it's a great photo spot.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![tsukishima.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/tsukishima-thumb-500x399-71905.jpg)
As you can see in the picture above, the view at dusk is also good. You can take a memory of cycling against the backdrop of the blue sky during the day and the shining water surface.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/camera.gif)
![IMG_4548.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4548-thumb-500xauto-71908.jpg)
⑥Tuna Wholesale tuna bowl shop After that, if you run a little while looking at the Asashio Canal to the right, you will see something like a shop. That's the tuna wholesaler's tuna bowl shop! Senior correspondent HK introduced in detail in 2017.
![IMG_4456.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4456-thumb-500xauto-71911.jpg)
The menu is written on the surfboard. "Tuna wholesale tuna bowl", which is also the name of the store, is 600 yen! Personally, I'm worried about "super rich bisque soup shrimp buckwheat".![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif)
![Maguro.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Maguro-thumb-500x398-71915.jpg)
For cycling in the morning, take a break that also served as lunch here. Why don't you enjoy the seafood and scenery unique to the waterfront? After that, go back along Route 2 and continue the ride.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/bicycle.gif)
⑦Reimei Ohashi, Toyosu Ohashi Like Tsukiji Ohashi, this is also a relatively recently opened road. Fortunately, the bicycle path is well-maintained.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif) However, there are pedestrians, so drive with care for speed.
![bridges.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/bridges-thumb-500x402-71918.jpg)
After experiencing a moderate uphill, you can see the scenery unique to the waterfront. "The slope was hard, but I'm glad I came ."
![IMG_4556.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4556-thumb-500xauto-71920.jpg)
⑧Toyosu Market When you go down Toyosu Ohashi, you will see the Toyosu Market.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif) This is not Chuo-ku, but it is one of the seasonal spots related to the former Tsukiji Market!
![IMG_4557.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4557-thumb-500xauto-71922.jpg)
⑨Harumi Ohashi Pass the Toyosu Market, cross the Harumi Ohashi and return to Chuo-ku. As you can see in the article by Senior Correspondent Sumida Fireworks, Harumi Ohashi has some undulations. Even a woman like me can cross it without difficulty. If you use a community cycle with electric assist, you can use it. You can cross with a smile without having to look rugged.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/smile.gif)
![harumi.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/harumi-thumb-500x398-71929.jpg)
From this area, you can see warehouses, tower apartments, and sky trees. I don't get tired of the scenery![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/paper.gif) After that, we only run to the goal point, Kachidokibashi Museum, but also to the goal point. Why don't you take a short stop before that?
⑩Derido Kachidoki Ekimae Store (with bicycle parking) This is a supermarket used by people living in the surrounding area. With self-service, you can enjoy your specialty coffee at an affordable price.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/cafe.gif) At the time of the visit, in addition to the commonly seen coffee, you can see the coffee. There were also flavor coffee such as caramel vanilla and organic coffee.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/heart01.gif) There are two sizes, 12oz (about 355ml) and 16oz (about 470ml). Surprisingly plenty, but you can adjust the amount yourself for self-service!
Get off the bicycle and move to the east side of Kachidokibashi with a cup of coffee. It is also a luxurious time to see Tokyo Tower and Kachidokibashi (the night view is recommended).
![kachidoki.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/kachidoki-thumb-500x398-71937.jpg)
If you take a break and cross the bridge, the museum is right there. This time, I used photos from different time zones, so it may have been difficult to understand. As I wrote at the beginning, you can make a lap in 45 minutes to 1 hour.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/recycle.gif)
Finally, looking back on the course, the historical scenery such as the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is the garden. Modern landscapes such as Tower Mansion, Rainbow Bridge, Sky Tree, and Tokyo Tower. And the scenery of warehouses, ships, sluice gates, etc. unique to the waterfront. I was able to see a lot of landscapes that were rich in change and did not get tired of my eyes.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif)
In addition, many of the roads that ran this time (other than around Tsukiji and Toyomi Fisheries Wharf) have bicycle paths. The road width is wide and easy for children.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif) Whether you live in the city or have come to Chuo-ku for sightseeing from Japan and overseas, you can also visit the city. This is my favorite course that I would like to recommend.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/bicycle.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif)
※When riding a bicycle, follow the manners and rules. Don't forget to wear a helmet or turn on the lights after darkening....

February 21, 2019 12:00
Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/confident.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/clover.gif) As March approaches, it's time to find a "small spring". Kikaku Takarai, a poet related to Chuo-ku, wrote about the spring of Edo (New Year).
"There is no day when one bell can't be sold, spring in Edo"
It is said that Edo was prosperous enough to sell even the bells of temples that are unlikely to sell. I can't see such a sight now, but In Chuo-ku, there are many bells that have seen the passage of time for a long time. This time, I went to see some of these bells.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/foot.gif)
■Bronze Bell, Kokumachi Bell (Nihonbashi Kodenmacho 5-2) / Made in Japan This bell, which was set up in Honishi-cho around the time of the second shogun Hidetada, informs people of Edo Castle about the time. Because it was near Nagasakiya, Kawayanagi was written saying, "The bell of Kokumachi can be heard to the Netherlands."
![IMG_4001.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4001-thumb-autox667-71780.jpg)
The bell is about 170cm tall and is about the average height of an adult man.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/updown.gif) (Speaking of about 170cm in Chuo-ku)...The iron bodhisattva head of Daikanonji also has the same size. ) I can hit this bell specially on New Year's Eve, so I would like to try it someday.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/rock.gif)
■Catholic Tsukiji Church (5-26 Akashicho) / Made in France Here is the copper-made Western Bell (Kumin Tangible Cultural Property), commonly known as "JEANNE LOUISE DE YEDO" in Edo. This bell was cast and donated in 1876. At that time, during the Meiji era, it was already renamed "Edo" to "Tokyo". So why was it named "Janne Louise of Edo" as the bell name suggests?... The reason for this is that at the time of ordering the bell to Renne, the name "Tokyo" was not yet thoroughly enforced.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/flair.gif)
The event that could be said to be the origin of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival was held in 1732. The name has changed with the times, and it seems that the current name has taken root is newer than expected. Looking at the changes in the name, it is interesting to get a glimpse of the background and intentions of the times.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![IMG_4272.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4272-thumb-500xauto-71784.jpg)
The "Adelaide Josephine," a bell that once duet with this bell, is known as "Adelaide Josephine." This is exactly what Harumi Madam introduced last year.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif)
Both bells were spared from the metal supplies of Pacific War, and did not become cannons. As an aside, Jeanne Louise remains intact to this day, whereas The Adelaide Josephine has overcome the rough waves of the times.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/wave.gif) The bell was engraved with the name of the French legal scholar Boasonard. I was able to escape the metal supply at Pacific War, but Once broken, it was recasted in 1957 with the donation of a believer at Sekiguchi Church.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/bell.gif)
■Peace Bell (in the median strip between Nihonbashi 3-4 and Kyobashi 1-1) / Made in the Netherlands This bell commemorates the 380th anniversary of Osamu Nichiran in 1989. It was established by Chuo-ku in hope of world peace as a member of an international city. The 26 bells are the largest in the world in the manufacture of Carillon Swing Bells. With more than 100 years of history and excellent technology and achievements, he was awarded the title of "Royal" by the Dutch royal family. Manufactured by Royal I Suvautu, Netherlands![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/crown.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
![IMG_4202.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4202-thumb-500xauto-71787.jpg)
The bell plays a song typified by the song "My Town" in Chuo-ku at 0 minutes every hour. If you are concerned about the melody, or if you live far away, please contact us. From Heiwa, Chuo-ku Prayer Virtual Museum![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
![IMG_4209.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4209-thumb-500xauto-71790.jpg)
■Ginza Bell (Ginza Church: Ginza 4-2-1) / Made by U.K. This is not so known compared to the above three bells, but It is located on the right side of the stairs of Ginza Church. It is a historical bell that has witnessed the transition of Ginza for about 90 years since the third hall was built in 1928.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/shine.gif)
However, it was cast in 1878, the same age as the bell of the Catholic Tsukiji Church! Blews & Son (Blews & Son) in Birmingham City has a total of 227 kg.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/paper.gif) The owner, William Bruus, remains a record as a craftsman making brass candlesticks, but It seems that the church bell was also cast, and the bell of the time remains in the home base Birmingham. How did this church bell cross the sea?...Don't you bother me?
![IMG_4215.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4215-thumb-500xauto-71793.jpg)
So, if you look at the bell inscription, you can see words about the casting company or church, but take a closer look at lines 3 to 4.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif) Why isn't it engraved with NAGASAKI JAPAN? This is a great clue for the bell to come to Ginza. As a British lover, I couldn't pull down here, so after further investigation, I found the following:
In 1873 (Meiji 11), the oldest protestant sacred school in Japan, which later became Dejima Holy Public Hall Theological School, was established in Nagasaki.
![Dejima.jpg](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/Dejima-thumb-500xauto-71814.jpg) (This building is indicated by a red arrow. When I visited last year, I didn't know that it was related to the Ginza Church. )
At that time, this bell, which Thomas Graver ordered, was attached. However, the bell fell in an earthquake that occurred in 1922....![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/sweat01.gif) After that, missionary Scott has bought it.
The following year, the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred, and the Ginza Church was burned down....![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/thunder.gif) It was revived in 1928, when the aforementioned Third Hall was completed. At this time, the bell obtained from the Scott was attached.
Finally, the relationship between Nagasaki and Ginza appears on this bell has emerged. Why did Glaver custom to Bruus & Sun? We have not yet fully clarified what kind of person missionary Scott was and what kind of relationship it had with Ginza Church.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/despair.gif) If you know the details, I will introduce them again on the blog!
■Yeah This time, we introduced the bells seen in the city, how was it? The countries of making bells are all different, and I feel again that Chuo-ku is international in the past. An unexpected relationship with Nagasaki was also found.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif) As you mentioned, some of them have retired bells. In this way, if you understand the history of the active era, you can gradually see the background of the era at that time. In Chuo-ku, I hope you will find "one bell" very interesting.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/heart01.gif)

February 19, 2019 18:00
Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/confident.gif) ![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/clover.gif) 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."
![IMG_4291.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4291-thumb-500xauto-71759.jpg)
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".![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/sweat01.gif) 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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/subway.gif)
■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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/good.gif)
![IMG_4284.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4284-thumb-500xauto-71762.jpg)
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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/dash.gif) If such a skill is so good, Kabuki actors before the actual performance will be able to easily eat it.
![Thumbnail image of DSC_3679.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/DSC_3679-thumb-500xauto-71757-thumb-500x375-71758.jpg)
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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/lovely.gif) Tempura mainly contains carrots, onions, and sweet potatoes. I enjoyed the crispy texture as if it was just fried.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/heart01.gif) 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)![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/foot.gif) Although it is not clear from the ground, it is a just right place to relax with monuments, lanterns, cherry blossoms, chairs, etc.
![IMG_4304.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4304-thumb-500xauto-71767.jpg)
From the Goemon stairs on the right side of the garden, you can see the tiled roof of Kabukiza up close.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/eye.gif)
![IMG_4297.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4297-thumb-500xauto-71775.jpg) (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?![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/ear.gif)
![IMG_4295.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4295-thumb-500xauto-71769.jpg) (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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/night.gif)
![IMG_4299.JPG](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/assets_c/2019/02/IMG_4299-thumb-autox667-71778.jpg)
■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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/horse.gif)
■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).![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/flair.gif)
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.![](https://en.tokuhain.chuo-kanko.or.jp/archive/mt-static/plugins/InsertIcon/images/notes.gif)
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!
