I didn't know that subway Nihombashi Station and Kayabacho Station were connected by underground passages.
Two years ago, when I walked from Nihombashi Station to Kayabacho Station, I went out to the ground on the way, and I thought that the underground passage was cut off.


s Exit Kayabacho 425.JPGWhen I got off to Kayabacho, it was a strong shower.
It's going to be soaked to walk to Nihombashi Station on the ground.
According to the underground guide map, it seems that the passage is cut off at Exit 11, so I decided to walk along the underground passage because I thought it would be better to avoid rain even before that exit.



s Left passage 428.JPG When you come to Exit 11, there is an underground passage on the left side.
Display to Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line 6:00 to 23:00 In Arikabe, traffic hours are 6:00 to 23:00 Other than the above, notes that are closed.
The passage leads to the stairs, and the ceiling going forward while going down and climbing is rounded out such as pipes.

Go down the stairs in front of the ticket gate



sI sign. JPGHere we proceed to the flat road on the right, divided into two hands, a staircase and a passage.



SI flat road 440.JPGI was taken to the ticket gate (platform) of the Tozai Line. 
Go up to the ticket gate floor (B1) with the elevator just before.
I arrived next to Cored.
Today, I was able to go through the underground passage from Kayabacho to Nihombashi Station.
It takes 8 minutes.
The underground passage is connected.



●Check the way home from Nihombashi Station.
Why did you go to the ground two years ago?
Why wasn't it possible to pass through the passage that came today?
I searched for directions to Kayabacho Station on the underground passage at Nihombashi Station, but I couldn't find it.
For the time being, I will aim for Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.


s Escalator 450.JPG There is an escalator in front of the Toei and ticket gates. I'll try it.
Only the exit of D3.D4 is on the top. I can't find an underground passage.
Two years ago, I was mistakenly riding this escalator



s Downhill stairs 449.JPG I'll go down the stairs near the ticket gate a little more.
Certainly, there is a guide to the ticket gate for Haneda.



s To Kayabacho. JPG It was good.
If you walk along this road, you can go back to Kayabacho.
This passage is very convenient.
It is useful when the weather is bad.

sIMGP0412.JPG

    On Ningyocho Street, a summer tradition

     "Setonoichi" is open and it is very lively.

     Setomono is heavy to carry around, so this time only visit.

    Everybody at Chidoriya 

        I'm looking for a lot of hand towels for souvenirs. 

 

    An exclamation of the 30th minute Karakuri

    (If you came alone to amazake Yokocho two months ago, there is a clock on the street.

          I didn't notice it. 

     

   I have a cold amazake and ice cream at amazake Yokocho

Visiting Suitengu Shrine

On the day of the dog, a large number of people were visiting prayers for safe delivery.

 

By car to Tsukishima

There is an information center where you can tell me the location of the store.

 

Most of the monjayaki shops open after the evening, and it's the first time you've come here.

 

This shop can have Monja baked by the person in the shop.

 Rhythmically cut the ingredients into small pieces with two kes and then bake.

People who were eating monja when they were young are hungry, saying, "This is early."

Cool the hot body at a Japanese confectionery shop near the tower.

 

You can also eat sweets bought on the 1st floor on the 2nd floor.

The free 47F Observation Room is unfortunately

It was closed on July 15.

 

I was sorry because the weather was so good that everyone expected that the view would be nice and smooth.

 

Fortunately, I was able to see far from the window of the 46 F elevator hall. 

 

 

 

The next guide is "I have sushi at Tsukiji in late October"      It's scheduled.

 

 

 

 

Monjayaki vs. Okonomiyaki

[Sunset Hill] June 21, 2010 10:00

6/19 (Saturday) We participated in a gathering to enjoy the taste of the world under the name of "Monja World Cup".

It's an international exchange salon.

 Since the number of people is large, check at hand with the reflector above.

 

 

 

 

 

 I had never eaten monjayaki before, and okonomiyaki was more familiar to me.

 First of all, the sauce maker taught me the history of the sauce, how to make monjayaki, and tips.

The difference from okonomiyaki was mainly the amount of cabbage.

 Everyone makes a basic Japanese version of Monja once, and then divides into countries such as Korea, Taiwan, China, Italy, etc., and challenges each country's proud Monjayaki.

Some countries put kimchi, while others put pork or mutton.

Once baked, go around each country with a postcard (a tool that replaces chopsticks used when taking monja from an iron plate) to taste the monja.                          kunibetu.JPG

It's the Ghana version of South Africa

 After this, rub the bank, spread the whole thinly, and burn it.

 

 

 

 

 

Kukusu (pasta still smaller than sesame), tomatoes, bacon, palm oil (oil squeezed from Abra palm nuts), chickpeas and other standards.  It was delicious.

The first place is "Mexican version of Monjayaki"

Lemon was working well.

 

Congratulations 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, a prize was presented to the top three places by everyone's vote.

It was a short time, but it was a fun time to cook and talk with foreigners.

I would like to thank the many people who took care of me in various ways, such as preparing materials.

 

The next international exchange salon is said to be "Let's wear a yukata at Tanabata" on July 10 (Saturday).

It is said that yukata will be prepared for foreigners.

 

 

 

I live my life like myself

 Thursday, May 27  A lecture on adult guardianship system was held at Nihonbashi Public Hall.

200sswIMGP0305.jpg

 

 The old people were listening eagerly.

 

 

 

 

 

 There are two adult guardianship systems.

 

    1 “Statutory Guardianship System” 

                                ①Guardianship

                               ②"Hosa,"

                               ③"Auxiliary"

      2. Voluntary guardianship system                            I'll break up with you 

   

It seems that you can choose depending on the degree of your judgment ability.

It seems that there are some "cumbersome", but I also realized that it was "a system to protect my own rights."

When I stopped and looked back on the life I had walked so far, and when I set guidelines for my future life, I thought it was a wise way to use this system.

 

My older friend is still very energetic, but I'm asking me. You should do it yourself as much as possible. But in any case, please.' Anxiety of getting older, remnants of leaving behind in case of emergency, etc.

It's a way to walk someday, but now it's something I don't want to think much.

 

200ssWIMGP0319.jpg This is an easy-to-understand brochure.

 

6/23 (Wednesday) at the ward office

It seems that a lecture related to this time will be held.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2)

[Sunset Hill] May 26, 2010 09:30

On May 23 (Sun), we participated in the "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour".

The ward has been supporting forest conservation activities in the forest [Chuo-ku Forest] in Hibara-mura, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo since 2018.

 

W50IMGP0258.jpgTrees are planted in plots without trees.

In heavy rain, we break up into groups and climb.

Because of the strong rain legs, I was prepared to prevent rain from entering my neck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

W50IMGP0260.jpg1 Experience of tree planting.

 

The height of 2 meters in yamazakura in the third year

I dug 40cm in diameter and 30-40cm in depth.

 

We plant bamboo together to support young cherry blossoms.

 

 

 

2 In the charcoal grilling experience, charcoal was served.

 

W50IMGP0275.jpgThe charcoal from the kiln is bright red, beautiful red.

Cover it with soil and cool it to make it usable charcoal.

 

The tools used to get out of the kiln are about 3m, and it is difficult to balance.

 

 

 

 

  3 Thinning work experience

 

W50IMGP0281.jpgBecause of the heavy rain, everyone is visiting from the charcoal hut.

Three junior high school students were very active.

 

Place a rope on the top of the cut tree, and put a saw and a saw at the base. If you fall down, pull the rope.

 

 

 

In the descent, the mountain road is too muddy and slips just by dropping your feet.

The people of the forest conservation organization went ahead several places, stretched ropes, and avoided slipping, helping everyone descend.

 

Both children and adults showed us how people were seriously working to preserve the forest.

The cherry blossoms will also have a strong root next year.

If possible, I would like to participate next year and see the cherry blossoms.

In addition, it seems that there is also a "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour" in the fall.

Enjoy Edo Bus

[Sunset Hill] May 18, 2010 08:30

  350IMGP0250.JPG

5/16 (Sun) I took the long-awaited Edo bus. Take a north circulation bus from Shinkawa 1-chome. Since it is a holiday, there are several groups of families returning from holidays, and the bus is full. The driver said, "I'm shaking. Please be careful. "But I thought the shaking was not much different from the city bus.

 

At the Chuo-ku government office, the next one is to transfer to the south circulation bus. 50IMGP0249.JPG    

Many families get off at Akashicho, Tsukishima, etc. I'll come on board again.

  50IMGP0244.JPG    

After passing Kachidoki Station, the number of passengers has decreased considerably.

I returned to Chuo-ku government office again, and it took about an hour.

The cost is 200 yen per person. (100 yen per time)

When I first got on the bus, I got a "transit ticket", so I could use the original ticket when I switched from the north circulation to the south circulation bus at Chuo-ku government office.

The southern circulation where there is a city full of downtown atmosphere and a city with super modern skyscrapers built in the same way. Next time, I wanted to buy a one-day ticket, get on and off many times, and enjoy the city slowly.
