　Ginza Loft, which uses the 3rd to 6th floors of "Ginza Bellvia Hall" facing Namiki-dori St., opened on June 23, 2017.

I went on the first day of opening, so I will report it briefly.

First of all, about the 6th floor.　On the 6th floor, travel and mobile tools are sold under the concept of "Next Creation".

There are plenty of small items such as large bags, pouches, and earplugs that are necessary for travel. Anime character goods such as Mickey Mouse were on sale.

The 5th floor is a floor with the concept of "work & study". Office supplies were substantial, and there were files to save A3 documents.

The prints of Katsushika Hokusai, posters of foreign passenger ships, etc. were good to decorate your room.　In addition, original drawings of cell paintings of anime movies were also on sale.　These were only one, so they were sold at a high price.

What I thought was interesting was the clear file.　Please take a look

There was a work that turned into a parodyi, imitating the famous Botticelli's work, "Birth of Venus".

The fourth floor is the floor of the concept of home solutions. Seasonal rain control products were on sale.

In addition, I was impressed that the bag of the brand atelier Kurz was in a round shape and was colorful.

Miniature whiskey bottles were also sold, so I purchased them as souvenirs.　Here, you can find practical things, things that moisturize your life, and something interesting.　

Matsuzaki Senbei is a long-established rice cracker that was founded in 1804 (1804 AD).

The "Shami-dong" series, which depicts Tokyo souvenirs and gifts, as well as rice crackers, and the usual "Oedo Senbei" are popular.

When I eat at home, I buy Soka rice crackers in small bags.

　By the way, the shop in Ginza 4-chome moved to Suzuran Street, so I went there.

　The basement is like a gallery, and the process of making rice crackers is flowing in video. It's very interesting.

　The mold of the rice cracker, the history of the shop, and the products of the "Shami-dong Series" are also on display.　I purchased a rice cracker in the photo, depicting a summer tradition.

From the top left clockwise, sunflowers, watermelons, fireworks, wind chimes, morning glory, beach parasols and crabs on the seaside. The story of tea drinking with grandchildren will bloom.

The address of the new store is 5-6-9 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. It is Suzuran Street just behind EXIT MELSA on Ginza Street. Click here for the company's website. http://matsuzaki-senbei.com/merchandise

"Curry Club Lu" is located in an alley from Ginza 6 to 4 to 16.

From Nishi-Ginza Street, enter from the right side of the Japan Diamond Trading Building. The rice weighed in a slightly small cup is sprinkled with the order curry and comes with Fukujin pickles. Beef curry is 500 yen.

In the photo, the recommended chicken nanban curry was hidden in a secret taste of 700 yen (including consumption tax), but it was a little fruity.

　The large serving of rice is plus 100 yen.　Pickles, Cole throws, etc. are exceptionally priced at 100 yen.

　It's going to be a bar in the evening. A lot of whiskeys are kept, so you can see that it is a very popular shop. I heard that the cover charge for the seat is 500 yen. It's a whiskey water and it's starting at 1000 yen.　Please drop in when you come near you.

　Ginza Marronnier Gate

In 1980, Daiei Inc. entered Japan as a partnership with a French department store plantan to expand into the department store business. On August 17, 1983, the operating company, Plantan Ginza Co., Ltd., was established as a subsidiary of Daiei Co., Ltd., and opened on April 27, 1984 as Planttan No. 4 (Plantan Ginza) in the Daiei Group. At the end of December 2016, Plantan Ginza closed, followed by Ginza Marronniergate 2 and Annex 3.

　Even now, it looks like a department store specializing in women.　The flower shop beside the store reminds me of the street corner of Paris.

Nevertheless, Ginzo went while feeling "embarrassment as if he was lost in a women-only car." I wanted to go all the time.　You can see Marronnier Street, MIKIMOTO Ginza 2, etc. It's a superb view!

And we went to the second basement floor of Ginza Marronnier Gate 2.

There are several shops and eat-in corners.

I was told that a shop called "Vigo's store" delivered baguettes to the French Embassy in Japan.

Also, the Italian gelato (ice cream) specialty store "Lucian Novio Ginza" was very popular. Thank you very much for the coming hot season.　The background (Ikisatsu) written in this photo was hot.

Marronnier Gate 2. They also sold salads using healthy organic vegetables. From now on, we will go straight to B2 from the beginning.

　Today is a long-established tour and historical walk that has been around since the Edo period.

First of all, a specialty store of fans and fans, "Iba Sen" from 1590 (AD 1590).

We saw wonderful fans in the store and worked out a gift plan.　Here, the right side of the store was the "Iba Sen Machikado Exhibition Hall", and along with Ukiyo-e, a wonderful fan with Ukiyo-e prints, a must-have item for the coming season, was also displayed.

　When you leave the shop, you will head to Sugimori Shrine. On the way, there is a wonderful tile pattern on the pavement of Horidome 1-chome. At Sugimori Shrine, sound health prayed for the lottery.

　Next, from the corner going a little north to the "Tokyo Sky Tree" on the right, you can see the "Tokyo Sky Tree" on your right, and in Otemmacho from there, there is a "Spring 7 Views Daitenmacho Cotton Shop" and "Autumn 74 Views Large Temmacho Gofuku Shop" at Oe, and you can see "Hiroshi Hyakudo" at hand.　

　And a little further away, there was `` Juzaburo Tsutaya's Koshodo '', a representative work of Sharaku Toshusai, a genius painter who came out by the same publisher, `` The third generation Oniji Otani's Niji Edobei '', `` Ebizo Ichikawa's Takemura Sadayuki Susumu "in my mind.

　The next shop I visited was "Edoya" from 1718 (AD 1718), a brush specialty store that has continued since the Edo period. Here, I bought a toothbrush using horse hair. I've been using it for the past five years.

On the opposite side of the shop, a monument of "Old Nikko Kaido Hondori" is erected.

　Next, go a little north and look at the monument of "Magome Kansoyu Yashiki Ruins" at the corner of the road.

　Visit to Takarada Ebisu Shrine. I saw the history of the shrine and learned the origin of the name "Bettazuke".

　Visit the store and museum of "Ozu Washi", founded in 1653 (1653), to close the long-established tour. I saw a map around the old and new stores.

　I studied a number of Japanese paper designated as World Cultural Heritage and saw a number of wonderful Japanese paper products.　On the second floor here, we have a free tea ceremony machine for customer service, which is really thankful.

　The Gallery Night Party 2017 was held grandly on May 26, with 21 galleries in Ginza participating.

First of all, Ginza Yanagi Gallery. The "Hiro Okano Exhibition" was being held, and the artist explained the scenes of the work.

Japanese clothes in the gallery!　Ryuishi, the customers of the gallery in Ginza are elegant. It's a great picture.　The prepared wine, canape, was very delicious.

Next, I visited Nichido Gallery. Nichido Gallery was entitled "The 54th Taiyo Exhibition" to commemorate the 90th anniversary of its founding, and was exhibited in one hall from late masters representing modern Japanese Western painting to up-and-coming expected new artists.　I asked some questions here, but I was able to tell you carefully.　The wine was also delicious.

　At Akika-do, the work of Kuniyoshi Utagawa of Ukiyo-e and the work of Hiroo Suzuki's painter "Sakata Kaidomaru" attracted attention.

　At Nagai Gallery, I was able to listen to the story of Koshi Takagi, and talked about surprises at the work shown in the photo.

In addition, I visited three galleries, but I will omit it due to space limitations.

The fun tour of the gallery in Ginza was close to the dusk, and it was the end time in no time. Next time, I would like to visit during the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to it.
