Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station, and a little from Muromachi Koji, I saw the word "Earth globe" in my eyes with a bright yellow neon tube.

It seems that it is the only shop in Japan that specializes in () globes.

Inside the store, large to small, old-fashioned learning to heavy wooden frames, various colors, various materials (including gemstones) are on display.

There was a preconception about globes for learning to be used in world geography, but if you look at the globe on display at this shop, it seems that it will respond to all kinds of requests according to the application.

In particular, there are some wonderful things that you want to keep in the room as interiors (from large ones that are placed directly on the floor to small ones that are placed on a desk), and in fact, there are many purchases as gifts. It seems that you can attach plates etc. according to your wishes.

According to the shop, the president who loves the globe launched a shop specializing in globes 20 years ago on the Internet and opened a shop specializing in globes, and there was a strong demand from customers who wanted to see the real thing, so it was said that this shop was opened 10 years ago.

It is very thankful that you can see and see the globe, such as the globe that is automatically turning slowly with sunlight, and awareness of the globe may change when you come to this shop.

If you are interested, please stop by.

In addition, we received special consent for the prohibition of photography in the store.

Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m

In the afternoon of this year's first midsummer day in Tokyo, we had the first shaved ice this year at the tea room at the Tsuruya Yoshinobu Tokyo store on the first floor of 1-chome COREDO Muromachi, Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Yoshinobu Tsuruya is a long-established Kyoto confectionery founded in 1803 in the Edo period (1803).

Uji Shigure Matcha, condensed milk, shiratama, vanilla ice, and azuki on fine shaved ice melts in your mouth and makes you happy.

The tea served is also said to be Ippodo Saho's Iribancha in Kyoto, and this also really enhances the sweetness.

It is a matcha parfait vanilla ice cream, matcha ice cream, fresh cream, matcha jelly, azuki, middle skin and all-star footsteps

Azuki is very elegant, and the compatibility with ice cream is exquisite.

Tsuruya Yoshinobu seems to have a family lesson that has been handed down from generation to generation, and one of them is said to be "Yakimonotsukuru ni material, time and effort".

This family lesson (philosophy) has been protecting Tsuruya Yoshinobu's "Noren" for more than 200 years, so I thought while eating too delicious shaved ice.

I'll come again.

The Furusato Information Corner is located on the first floor of Nihonbashi Plaza Building, a 5-minute walk from the north exit of Tokyo Station, Nihonbashi 2-chome.

It is the place marked on the map below.

Approximately 2,600 types of pamphlets () of sightseeing, events, products, etc. of prefectures and municipalities are on display, and you can take them home freely.

Brochures are properly sorted and you can find the information you need right away.

Business hours are from 10 to 19.

You can use it to check out your trip and get "seasonal" information.

On the same floor, local government antenna shops in Yamanashi and Yamaguchi prefectures ("Fuji no Kuni Yamanashikan" and "Oidema Yamaguchi Prefecture") are also open.

"Ginza TS Building (Toshiba Building)" ("Mosaic Ginza Hankyu (formerly Sukiyabashi Hankyu"), which has been a corner of the Sukiyabashi intersection for 80 years, has been rebuilt, A new building has appeared.

The building currently under construction is designed with the motif of Edo Kiriko () and is 5 floors below ground and 11 floors above ground. It seems that the aim is to become a symbol of Ginza Sukiyabashi.

This is a large commercial facility with 13 floors from the second basement floor to the eleventh floor above the ground.

In the news release of Tokyu Land Corporation, which promotes this "(tentative name) Ginza 5-chome Project", the appearance image at the time of completion was announced.

It seems that the opening of business is in 2015, and the Ginza area is likely to become even more attractive.

At the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, in conjunction with the “Mitsuaki Iwago World Cat Walking Photo Exhibition” (May 20-June 1), the entire building is being “Nonely Cats”.

At "Miyakoshiya Coffee" on the 4th floor of the new building, such a menu is available.

It is "Nyan Cocoa" of marshmallow cat cocoa.

I also ordered the souffle cheesecake together.

This cocoa is a collaboration menu with marshmallow specialty store in Nagano (Yawahada).

Limited quantity

Cocoa is rich. It is perfect for relaxing while enjoying slowly.

The cheesecake was moist and fluffy and very delicious.

Miyakoshiya Coffee is a coffee specialty store headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido that roasts and wholesales coffee beans. In Tokyo, there are several stores here in Nihonbashi, Ginza, Shimbashi, Ebisu, etc.

This shop at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store is located just in the corner facing the Nihonbashi Kitazume Intersection of the new building, where you can enjoy delicious coffee (this time, delicious "Nyan Cocoa") while looking down at Nihonbashi from the window side of the shop.
