Power Spot in Hamarikyu Garden

[Yurikamome] February 25, 2011 09:15

Recently visiting Hamarikyu, "Where is your power spot? ・・・・」

You say you're right.

Hamarikyu's first power spot was "Kannondo and the Bell Tower Ruins".

At present, only the stairs are left, but ...

At the time of the 11th Shogun Ienari, "Kannondo where the late bell echoes" ...

The principal was said to have been made by Enjin Jikaku Daishi, and Ema, painted by a Kano school painter, was also displayed.

On the right hand from Hakkeizan, look at the `` Tang maple '' imported from Tang during the time of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune, look at the pond with tide on the left and go a little further without crossing Nakashima Bridge. You.

The "300-year-old pine" and "the scenery seen from Kuchiyama of Shinhi", which were planted when the sixth Shogun Ienori renovated the garden, are also power spots for work luck.

In addition, "Hamarikyu Whole" has been raised as a power spot for work luck.

Power spot ... ? ? ? etc. Regardless, enjoy the natural scenery of the garden 5.5 times as much as Tokyo Dome.

News from Hamarikyu Garden Hanana Red and White plum Hoshihajiro

[Yurikamome] February 25, 2011 08:30

 Like last year, the canola flower field is dyed in beautiful yellow and shines in the sun.

And a good scent seems to be inviting birds.

It blooms one after another from the end of March to the beginning of April.

The cactus-like plant on the right side of the canola flower field is Ryuzetsuran.

It is produced in Mexico and blooms once every 60 to 70 years.

Flowers bloomed about 3 years ago in Hamarikyu.

In foreign countries, it is called Century Flower. 

When it blooms, a number of large yellow flowers bloom at a time.

I make a liquor named Tekira from the roots.     2011_0223 canola flower and Ryuzuran Photo 0010.JPG

    

      It blooms two colors of white and red from a single tree.

      2011_0223 Red and White Plum Photo 0024.JPG     There are many trees in full bloom in Umezono, but there are still trees with hard buds.

     I'm looking forward to seeing you there.  

       2011_0223 Plum in full bloom Photo 0013.JPG      

If you look closely, it is a familiar hoshihajiro that is often found in a pond with tide.

When I was in the pond, it looked small, but when it was low tide and stood at the shore, it looked unexpectedly large.

At first it was Omotesanma and two depths, but at the end of the Edo period it was the current size.

The Ozu Historical Museum, which displays and displays the history of paper and Ozu, has been opened on the second floor of the head office.

[Yurikamome] February 8, 2011 09:00

 The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival was held at Akatsuki Park on February 5 (Sat) and 6 (Sun). .

The snow delivered from Higashine, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city, made Akatsuki Park a small slope and delighted the children.

The rental of sori minisky was free.

When I took the picture of the scene and looked at Kaai, I was sorry that there were so many good photos, but I will post it in two parts.  

The slope opened at 9 o'clock.                                             From 11:00, there was a greeting from Mayor Yada as the opening ceremony, and there was a song corner.2011_0205 Chuo-ku Snow Festival Panda and Tiger 0061.JPG

 

 

 

It's a costume show with the sister of the song.

The 16th Chuo-ku Snow Festival Part 2 (mini zoo and taste corner)

[Yurikamome] February 8, 2011 09:00

 The Chuo-ku Snow Festival had a “taste corner”, “PR corner” and “mini zoo” in addition to the “snow play corner”, “song corner” and “recycling corner”.

The “PR Corner” received a pamphlet introducing a number of products and a beautiful city where hot springs spring out, such as the cooking training of the Japan Red Cross and the “Cherry” and “Tamakonjac” in Higashine City.

The taste corner was provided by each group, but fried rice, sweet potato soup, tamakonjac, hot calpis, meat buns, bean jam buns, oshiruko, etc. were all free.

And a small flowerbed was also built next to the snow play in Akatsuki Park and the mini zoo.

Primula, pansy and stock were in bloom.

The children of Chuo-ku thought that "happiness" was Naa ...

 In the sale of special products in Higashine City, I used "Omi Pickle" and "Cherry Pickle".

"Cherry Pickle" is pickled with perilla, but it is the best for tea bowls.

It was very delicious.

◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (14th)◎

Entrance to Ginza Minami / Ginza Nine Stores Association

 

 I am glad that I can become a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and know the stores I did not know before, and I can introduce them to everyone. .

"Ginza Nine Stores Association" is a shopping street that faces Ginza 8-chome Gomon Street as the gateway to Ginza Minami and consists of tenants of Ginza Nine SC.

It is located in the middle of a delta consisting of Shimbashi, a popular commercial area, Ginza, which dominates the brand, and a huge complex city, Shiodome.

When it opened, it was called "Shimbashi Center".

It opened 50 years ago on November 3, 1961.

A highway was built in the place where it was a river, and it seems that it began with landowners and new tenants operating on the riverside by land readjustment.

Its length is under the highway, extending from Sotobori-dori St. to Showa-dori.

It is divided into Building No. 1, Building No. 2, and Building No. 3, and walking inside will delight your eyes.
