Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The reality is that there is not much cafe where you can enjoy freshly baked delicious cakes, bread and drinks with one coin, and you can relax. I think there's a lot in Chuo-ku.
The name of the shop is "Café Aladdin". ← Please refer to this site for the location and business hours.

The lunch set is 500 yen for soups, salads, daily breads, desserts and drinks (you can choose), and the set of cakes and drinks is 480 yen, which is a surprise and concentric price.

An example of a lunch set. Soup and drinks are also included!

"Aladdin" is operated as part of the activities of "Rainbow House Akashi", a living support facility for the intellectually disabled in Chuo Ward, and users of the facility work.

Even during busy lunchtime, everyone is smiling and ordering quickly.

The inside of the store with large windows is bright and cozy, and women and families can easily enter.

In the store, miscellaneous goods produced by facility users in the workshop are also sold. The photo on the right is a shirt made of weaving.

"Cafe Aladdin" and "Magic Lamp", which makes bread cakes sold there, is a place to work independently for people with intellectual disabilities who use Rainbow House Akashi, and go to the shop A nice place for us to enjoy delicious bread and cakes. If you haven't known it before, please come and eat delicious bread and cake made of specialty ingredients. Thank you very much for opening on Saturdays and Sundays!

In addition, "Aladdin" has a shop inside Ningyocho Station (only for sale, it is open from 11 to 16:00 on weekdays, but delicious bread is the same)

 Last but not least, when I talked about introducing it to my blog, thank you very much, Mr. Hayashi, the facility manager who explained the activities of Rainbow Akashi while I was busy, Mr. Nishimura, the manager of Arajin, Thank you very much.

As the words "Heat and cold to the equinoctial week," the sun has become warmer.

Here and there, cold scarlet cherry blossoms like incense burners are competing for color,

Yoshino cherry tree seems to be taking a deep breath for flowering.

From this weekend in Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, where the stunning weeping cherry tree welcomes people.
The Sakura Festival will be held.

At this time when a new life begins, it's a good idea to have a cherry blossom viewing at a shrine and tighten your feelings.

The nearest station is Tsukishima Station on the Oedo Line and Yurakucho Line. Exit 6 is convenient.
(There is a map that is convenient for walking around the city just outside the station.)

Entrance to Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine

 There are posters for the Sakura Festival here and there.

The event will be held from March 20 to April 4.

From 1:00 pm on March 21, you can see Ryu Kotaro's kneading at Tsukuda Kobashi.

During the weekend, amazake soup flour will also be served.

On February 28, the 4th Tokyo Marathon was held on a cold rainy Sunday.

One of the biggest difficulties in the course of the Tokyo Marathon, which has few undulations, is said to be the biggest challenge.
It's Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge at 36 kilometers. Whip on the feet that have stopped moving after thirty-five kilometres
It is a strong wind on the Sumida River that finally waits for the runner who climbed the bridge.
In addition, there is a downhill from there.

Actually, I am also a citizen runner. I have experienced this difficulty twice in the past.
But I'm really grateful for the cheering from the roadside that I can hear in a tight place.
In the rain this year, many people were cheering on Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

On the bridge, there is a display of "the biggest difficulty".

I cheer on the runners on the bridge.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is a recommended support spot because you can see the runners well.
Everyone, next year's Tokyo Marathon will cheer on the runners on the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.
After that, I slowly warmed up in public bath, which is located in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas.
Would you like to enjoy a delicious meal? "I'll be next year!" What a secret determination may be born.

6 kilometers away, do your best! 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　             Support even if it is near the end
