Even at Ginza Nishi-Namiki-dori St., illuminations, a feature of the year-end, were lit from November 13 (Fri).

A symbol design by a gobo projector is projected on the red granite sidewalk from 5-chome to 8-chome on Namiki-dori St.

Namiki-dori St. is lined with fashionable stores on both sides, and the illuminations suitable for the "Adult Town Namiki-dori St." match very well.

Normally, Linden's beautiful Namiki-dori St. is planted on both sides of the road, but the street lighting decoration allows you to feel new charms again.

On November 13th (Fri), the annual Christmas illuminations and lighting at the Bulgari Ginza Tower store are on display.

This year, the illumination of "Serpenti" and the illumination of stars were added to the illumination of "Serpenti", making it even more gorgeous.

The place is a corner of the Ginza 2-chome intersection.

White tents and red Japanese lantern are located on the roof terrace of the main building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

It is "Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Muromachi Tavern".

It is said that it will be open until Sunday, November 29 for a limited time.

In a white tent, a warm menu and an all-you-can-drink plan are available.

"Gyunabe", "sumo wrestlers' hot pot" and "Japanese-style buffet" are fascinating.

Speaking of eating and drinking on the rooftop of a building, I came to mind the summer beer garden, but it was said that this was used during this season.

Business hours are from 18:00 to 21:00 on weekdays, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, two copies are replaced, from 12:00 to 15:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00. That's right.

During the daytime on weekdays, I stopped by for another business, so I didn't open yet, but I would like to add it to this season when it gets chilly, going home from work or one of the options to stop by with my colleagues.

The Noevia Ginza Gallery (Noevia Ginza Headquarters Building 1F) facing Namiki-dori St. on Ginza 7-chome, is holding a new exhibition for Christmas, "Keiko Miura Glass Art Exhibition Trajectory of Light".

The period is from Monday, November 2 to Friday, January 8 of the beginning of the new year.

The event is held from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it is until 5:00 pm

Keiko Miura is said to be a glass artist who developed a unique technique called "Roch Rail", which cuts thick glass like a sculpture with a hammer and combines it with epoxy resin.

"Roch Rail" means "shining rock of light".

In the work, the texture of the thick glass is impressive, and the pattern of the broken cross section of the glass is very beautiful and solid when viewed through light.

Miura's works are also installed in domestic and international buildings such as the Tokyo National Museum and Roppongi Hills Mori Tower.

Admission is free.

Thank you for your understanding regarding the photographing of the exhibits.

From November 13th (Fri), Namiki-dori St. will be displayed with Christmas illuminations, and the lighting of this gallery will be turned on until 1:00 am ().

Two years ago, in the spring of Kyobashi 3-chome, Tokyo Square Garden, 24 floors above ground and 4 floors below ground, was completed.

At the time of construction, it was spotlighted as a large complex building that contributed to the cool-down of the city center and the formation of the "wind path" from Tokyo Bay to the Imperial Palace.

From that time on, I thought it was a building full of "green"

Two years have passed since then, I feel that the "green" has matured more and more.

In the low-rise area from the first basement floor to the fifth floor above the ground, the hills with plantings of about 3,000 m2 are overflowing with the "green" of "Kyobashi Hill".

It's hard to say "formation of a comfortable urban environment", but if there is a lot of "green", it's definitely pleasant.

The story of the day was Takashi Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple.

The Nanto Hotakai is a subtitle called "Nara no Mind" taught by young Buddhist monk, a famous temple in Nara, where you can listen to stories from Buddhist monk at temples such as Todaiji Temple, Saidaiji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Yakushi-ji Temple.

The time is one and a half hours from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, and the place is on the second floor of the Nara Mahoroba Hall.

The capacity is 70 people each time, and it is a method of applying for attendance in advance. If there are many applicants, it will be a lottery.

This time, Mr. Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple, which was opened by Kanshin Kazumi in 759, the headquarters of Ritsu sect, heard a very interesting story about training and commandment with the title of "Let's Become a Bodhisattva" with an outstanding impact. Was.

At the Nara Mahoroba Hall, there are many events where visitors can learn about Nara's charms, including lectures on the history of those days through Prince Shotoku, lectures introducing Yoshino Omine in World Heritage, and classrooms in Japanese painting and sutra copying.

In addition, on the day of the event, the exhibition space on the first floor introduced Shimoichi Town and Kurotaki Village, and exhibited special products.
