It feels good if you use a new towel.

I would like to introduce you to you because it is so comfortable for the first time using a new towel from the New Year.

"BUBU" is a shop full of various kinds of cloth towels, cute miscellaneous goods, Tenugui, paper soap, etc. near my home. It is quite close to a 1-minute walk from the ticket gate on the Ningyocho intersection side, but I did not notice that I was always passing nearby because the signboard of the shop was not appearing, but a second grader living in the neighborhood It seems that my niece seemed to be worried every time I passed Daimon Street from before, and there are many things that adults and children want when I went shopping together.

 

 

The recommendation is a bath towel made of gauze fabric, which feels good and the size is larger than a normal bath towel, but it drys very quickly. It seems that there are many people who purchase additional after using one, but I am one of them. (2100 yen including tax)

Paper soap in case (50 sheets)

It's easy to carry. If you put it in a bag, you will be healed by a slight gentle scent.

It has lavender, rose, lemon, strawberry and apple scent.

The cute coaster of the towel dough is "50 yen per sheet until it becomes good", so it is recommended for bulk purchase.

Ningyocho has many shops closed on Sunday, but BUBU is open on Saturdays and Sundays until 18:00. When you come to Meijiza or Suitengu, why not try shopping for your home or souvenir?

The center of commerce Chuo-ku There are many lively shopping streets in Japan.

Correspondents visit, see, and hear the shopping streets that are loved by the locals, prospered with the residents, and familiar to them.

◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (9th)◎

"Always thank you, always rewarding" "No prosperity without gathering people"!

/ Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative

 

A number of long-established stores have been newly added, and we visited the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative, which currently has 206 members, and interviewed Vice President Minamitani.

     

Ningyocho Shopping Street has a long history, and in 1908, a union organization called "Shoseikai" was formed ahead of the world, and based on the "always thanks, always rewarding" of the merchant soul inherited from the Edo era, Founded a union in 1956. The philosophy of the shopping street is that there is no prosperity without gathering people, and while preserving the culture and traditions of Edo so that many people can gather, they always think and implement new things. One of the reasons why the shopping district is lively is that the young organization is solid, and the Sansuikai was formed in 1974, and about 70 people are currently planning and executing events. At the age of 50, it seems that he will not be a member and will be a supporter, but since Edokko with a personality-in-law are playing a lot, many events such as Setono City, Tenten Festival and Ningyo Market will be exciting I think.

 

 Among the many long-established stores, Hatsune of the sweet shop has been running since the Edo period of Tempo 8 (1837), and as with the shop of Vice President Minamitani, there are many long-established stores in Meiji period that have been founded, and the kind hospitality and delicious taste that have been passed down from generation to generation, make it a nostalgic and relieved that you can never come. Ningyocho-dori, where the shopping street is located, was maintained last year, and the sidewalk expanded by 30 cm, making it a non-slip and easy-to-walk granite. The history of Ningyocho Shopping Street and the nostalgic streets of the past can be listed in "New Edition Nihonbashi Ningyocho", so if you are interested, please purchase it at a bookstore. (3,500 yen) 

 After the “newcomers” set in Ningyocho was broadcast nationwide, many families and young people from all over Japan will visit the “newcomers location tour” to stroll around the shops they saw on TV. It seems that you will see it. The "shopping map", which is convenient for first-time visitors, is distributed free of charge at member stores and can be downloaded from the website, so please use it. http://www.ningyocho.or.jp/

 

Many people are waiting for an hour to see both of the two Karakuri towers on Ningyocho-dori, so recently, every 30 minutes in addition to just the time from 11:00 to 19:00 It seems that the mechanism is moving. The Karakuri Ogura is also perfect for the atmosphere of Ningyocho, but I think that the worries of such shopping streets are also a story like Ningyocho. The town fire extinguisher tower can be seen by ladder rides and makiage while listening to tree singing songs in the costumes and wear of the "Hagumi" under the jurisdiction. The Edo Rakugo Ogura is a live voice of Danyuki Tachikawa, where the creative story "The Origin of Ningyocho" flows for about 2 minutes, and you can see the streets of Edo and the townspeople. Please take a look when you come to Ningyocho.

 

In the coming season, Ningyogai Shopping Street is full of fun events. Children from nearby elementary schools can also participate in the event together, connect the shopping street and the children through the day experience of the shop, etc., and the children who will carry the next era can enjoy Edo culture and tradition I think that it is the uniqueness of downtown that you can get used to it. The main events are as follows, and I'm looking forward to it every year. For details, please refer to the website of Ningyocho Shopping Street.

 

   ●Sunday, October 10 11:30 to 16:00 Tenten Festival (Ningyomachi Street) Rainy weather event

　Lottery, naughty sumo, therapy dogs, white bikes and firefighting aerial workers display, etc.

　Ningyocho Shopping Street Original Character Inase Family T-shirts will be sold for 2,000 yen per sheet.    

 ●October 13 (Wed)-15 (Fri) 10:00-19:00 Ningyoichi (Ningyocho-dori) Rainy weather event

　There are about 50 stalls such as various dolls, beckoning cats, zodiac figurines, and colorful accessories.

　You can also display the play teahouse artifact in the middle of the Edo period and memorialize dolls at Daikanonji Temple.

　It is convenient because "Metrolink Nihonbashi" (free shuttle bus) goes around for three days in Ningyo City.　　　 

 

●East Grain Yosekikai Friday, October 29 ... Youth Club Friday, November 5 ... Pension Club

17:30 p.m. opening at 18:00 (Tokyo Grain Exchange)

 

●November 26 (Fri)-December 10 (Fri) Cash grab　

It will end as soon as there are no vouchers for each member store, so you can shop as soon as possible, get a voucher, and pick up cash if you win with a lucky discount. It is recommended because there is not much chance to grab special 10,000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills elsewhere.

 

For the future of the shopping district, "newcomers" were very popular on national broadcasting, so we are considering tours from all over Japan, so after sightseeing such as Sky Trees, shopping and eating in Ningyocho When realized, this seems to be a big hit.   

In addition, the homepage is already available in English, Korean and Chinese so that many foreigners can come, and a shopping map is being created. Ningyocho has the Toei Asakusa Line and Hakozaki Interchange, so access to Haneda Airport and Narita Airport is very convenient.

It is close to Ginza and Asakusa, which are very popular with foreigners, so I think people all over the world can feel the Edo atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

I've been a newcomer for five years since I moved to this city, but I love Ningyocho, which is convenient, safe and very cozy. There are many purposes to come, such as shopping and dining, events such as Setonoichi and Ningyoichi, theater at Meijiza, visiting Suitengu, visiting Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, visiting newcomer locations, and so on. Ningyocho Shopping Street has 206 member stores, so anyone can always find their favorite shops, so please come by all means. 

 

 

 

 We did the first course guide of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the 2010 town walk tour. "The town walking tour is very popular every time because there are many fun courses that are free to participate, and we worked with the people who won several times the magnification.

The course started at 10:00, first watch a video of the Tokyo Stock Exchange for about 20 minutes, then tour the museum with the guidance of the Tokyo Stock Exchange for 30 minutes, and then experience a simulated stock transaction using a personal computer. Finally, I visited the museum. It took about an hour and a half, but I felt it in no time because the contents were so many.

The device where the stock price is rotating often seen on TV is called a ticker, and the more transactions, the faster the speed becomes, and the speed is seven stages. Recently, stock prices have been falling, but on the day of the tour, most brands have risen, and they are spinning at a great speed, so I was almost turning around.

My recommendation is the pseudo trading experience. Start from 10 million (although it is not a real money because it is pseudo), analyze the news that will enter one after another for the two preset brands, and experience how much assets can be increased in 30 minutes by repeatedly buying and selling I can do it. The stock price surges and falls due to the time difference in judgment on how the yen's appreciation and interest rates affect stocks, so I was able to instantly decide the timing of buying and selling, and I enjoyed studying quite a bit.

As a beginner in stock, I was about 300,000 plus, but when it started to rise, it was the end time, so I think that I could expand further in a few minutes, but the best tour participants was 600,000 plus. It's amazing!

The Tokyo Stock Exchange Course of the "Town Walking Tour" will also be held on October 13 (Wednesday), so if you are interested, please apply.

Even if you missed the lottery, many people were able to see it on the day, but if you make a reservation, you will be able to visit the Tokyo Stock Exchange and simulate it, so please check the website of the Tokyo Stock Exchange by all means.

The third row of the ticker is positive for red and negative for yellow. Most of the day was bright red.

 On the screen during the tour, the welcome Chuo-ku Tourism Association "Town Walking Tour" was displayed.

You can lend one personal computer to each person and experience a pseudo transaction for 30 minutes.

At the shop at the entrance, I purchased 250 yen for 4 convenient clips that could be stopped at the corner. 

 

 

The Tokyo Marathon will be held on the 28th of next month.

This is the fourth time this time, but I often hear "I won the lottery" or "I lost" around me. I hope that those who plan to run will be able to demonstrate their strength in the lottery.

Unfortunately, if you have missed it or have never seen it along the road, we recommend that you actually support it along the road. One of the attractions of the Tokyo Marathon is that you can enjoy just by cheering.

I look forward to this day every year because the road in front of my house sometimes goes back and forth on the Tokyo Marathon course. From Suitengu to Nihonbashihamacho, there are not many people along the road as Ginza and Asakusa, so it is a secret spot where you can support in the front row. After cheering, if you walk to Ginza on the Tokyo Marathon Course without taking the train immediately, it will be a good exercise.

Most of the 35,000 runners can finish the race, thanks to the results of daily training, but it seems that the volunteers of the tournament, cheering from the roadside, and sadness are also great.

I prepare a large amount of bananas and strawberries for this day and distribute them to the runners along with drinks and chocolates, but everyone smiles "Thank you!" He said, "I'm coming out," and I'm getting a lot of energy to support me, and I feel the day when Tokyo will become one.

There are many fun things that are not found in other races, such as Osako power where 35,000 people run through, some people dressed up, entertainers and announcers run together, so there are many funs that are not found in other races, so please come and support us How about it?

 

 

 

We, Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent, have passed the 1st Chuo-ku sightseeing certification and love history and culture. Many of you who are viewing this Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent blog also like history and culture, so there is a certification test that I would definitely recommend.

 

The first is the "Chuo-ku Tourism Test", which allows you to apply for the exam until January 15.

You can study the history and culture of Chuo-ku, and if you learn what you have learned is your own study, you can also participate in sightseeing events in Chuo-ku if you are appointed as a correspondent. By showing around the long-established shops that have been around since the Edo period and writing on a blog, I think it was good to love history again.

 

The other is the "Edo Cultural History Test".

The application period is from summer to autumn, so the text can be purchased at bookstores.

When I wanted to study more about history, I learned about the Edo Cultural History Test and took the 4th and 3rd grades held last month. This test is narrowed down to the Edo period, and you can study a wide range of cultures that were not found in textbooks. 20% of the questions were asked from "This year's title" outside the text, and the fourth was "53rd Tokaido-Journey in Edo".

In the Edo period, I traveled on foot, so it is common to leave early in the morning. What time is the "Seven" of the lyrics "Edo Nihonbashi Seven Standings" now? There are many things that I wanted to know this rather than a history test like a problem like that, and the text can be enjoyed with lots of pictures and photos.

There are many sponsors in this certification, so by presenting the certificate, there are plenty of discounts at Oedo Onsen and Hanayashiki, and there are courses and events that only successful applicants can participate.

I read the text on my daily commuter train and enjoyed studying for about three months. Grade 1 can only be taken unless you have passed the second grade, so I'm going to take the next exam by passing this time, but Grade 1 seems to be a fairly narrow gate with a single digit pass rate. The Edo period lasts for about 260 years and is profound, so I would like to aim for passing the first grade even if it takes several years.

 

"Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" and "Edo Cultural History Certification"

These two tests have the same content, and the text is well-made, so you will want to read as many times as you want. For details, we recommend that you search on the website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's only a few left this year.

I love cleaning, so I'm looking forward to cleaning, but many people think it's troublesome. It doesn't take less than 10 minutes to clean my house. It's thanks to convenient goods, so I would like to recommend "Gankodashi" and "All-round Cleaner".

Simply pour water on "Gankodashi" and rub it lightly to make it clean in no time. With this one "Gankodashi", the area around the water in my home keeps the glow of new construction without the need for detergent. Isn't it damaged if you do this? You may be anxious, but I'm really surprised because you can get the water plaque inside the pot, around the bath chair and faucet without any scratches at all.

Simply put the "All-purpose Cleaner" on the "Gankoshishi" and lightly rub the sticky scorching in the kitchen gas range, and it will disappear magically in an instant. The kitchen cleaning, which I was not good at, can be completed in about 5 minutes with these two alone.

It's too convenient, so if you distribute it to your family, friends and company people one by one, the number of enthusiasts will increase, and everyone will ask you to buy three this time, so always the basket full I buy it.

It can be purchased at Fujiyama Shoten in Tsubamesanjo, which comes several times a year in a rental space where shops change in several places on Ningyocho Street for about one week only.

"Gankodashi" costs 300 yen and "All-purpose Cleaner" costs 1029 yen.

 

The rental space at Ningyocho Shopping Street is cheap and good, such as Fujiyama Shoten, Kasaya, gloves, sans, hats, etc., and there is nothing you have purchased here so far that you have not satisfied. While looking forward to what kind of shops are open, why don't you come to shop to find something to dig?
