[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 12, 2017 16:00

Last November, I introduced a tree with an unusual name "Megslinoki" in "Yamamoji Autumn Leaves" posted on this blog, but this Megslinoki is beautifully colored.

The location is in Sukiyabashi Park, adjacent to Yasuaki Elementary School, Ginza 5-chome.

There's Tokyu Plaza Ginza across the street.

Megslinoki is a deciduous Takagi of the genus maple, called "Choose Tree" or "Senri Eye Tree", and as a private therapy, juice decocted the bark was used for eye diseases as eye drops.

Also, it seems that it is a rare tree that grows only in Japan.

In addition to the Megusulinoki, the park now has the autumn leaves of Japanese maple.

"DESTINY Kamakura Monogatari" said Tenshodo

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 11, 2017 14:00

On December 9, the movie "DESTINY Kamakura Monogatari" was released.

This movie was directed by Takashi Yamazaki of "ALWAYS 3-chome Sunset"

This film is supported by Tenshodo, a long-established store in Ginza founded in 1879 ().

Tenshodo deals with products such as watches, jewelry, and models, but in this movie, there was a scene where the main character of the model railway fan held TENSHODO's paper bag and bought a railway model and returned home .

I went to see it on the 10th, but it was very interesting.

The theater was almost full, and on the end roll that played after the movie was over, it was said "Special Cooperation TENSHODO".

On the second floor of the shop, there is a movie corner where you can buy related goods.

On the third floor, you can see the model railway used in movies.

The angels standing at the corner of the shop were also wearing red hats for the Christmas season.

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

Thank you very much

Red (yellow) leaves at Tsukishima Daini Children's Park

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 8, 2017 18:00

"Tsukishima Daini Children's Park" is a park located in Kachidoki 1-chome.

I came for the first time, but it is a beautiful park with various playground equipment in a spacious area.

tukidai2001.JPG

The place is just a short distance from the intersection where Harumi-dori St. and Kiyosumi-dori intersect.

I'm just leaving Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line. The map below, red spot

It is adjacent to high-rise buildings and condominiums, but it is made relaxedly, and on the day I visited, it was a peaceful atmosphere with fathers playing children talking with each other on holidays .

tukidai2002.JPG

Here too, maples, ginkgo, and cherry blossoms in the park are red and yellow (yellow) leaves.

tukidai2003.JPG

There is also a fountain-type watershed facility, and it is a type of jabujabu pond where children can play in the water in summer. Naturally, this season is closed.

tukidai2004.JPG

In the park, there is also the Kachidoki / Toyomi Historical Materials Exhibition Hall, one of the Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall.

Yellow leaves of Kyobashi Park

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 6, 2017 16:00

Kyobashi Park is a park located in Ginza 1-chome and is adjacent to Kyobashi Plaza, a ward inhabitant hall in Chuo-ku.

Surrounded by buildings and the large trees in the park have a quiet and calm atmosphere.

The expression "urban oasis" is perfect.

The yellow leaves of ginkgo and platanus (Suzukakenoki) in the park are wonderful.

In particular, platanus is a large tree.

The fallen leaves are also very large, and the hard work of the person who manages them is overwhelmed.

kyoityo004.JPG

There are quite a few cherry trees in this park, and when spring is in full bloom, you can see cherry blossoms in the park.

One is that a lottery will be given to those who have the test voucher for this test, and a wonderful gift unique to Chuo-ku (the pass / fail of the test is not related).

monosiri001.JPG

The other was the “Chuo-ku Monoshiri Courseheld on December 3 (Sun), and we participated here on the day.

The venue was Inui Building Kachidoki, located at the base of Kachidokibashi.

monosiri003.JPG

The first part was a test preparation course by Kazunari Masuyama, a curator of Chuo-ku, who supervises the official text in the morning.

Based on the official textbook "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia for Walking" (released on October 1), explanations were given using many slides.

From the terrain of Chuo-ku to the birth of Edo shogunate and Chuo-ku, through the Edo period, the Meiji Restoration, the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the post-war reconstruction and the birth of Chuo-ku, it was easy to understand.

In the afternoon, the second part explained the tendency of examinations and learning methods by correspondents of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

The venue was full thanks, and more than 100 participants () listened eagerly to the explanation and asked questions.

By the way, the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification and application period are until Wednesday, January 3 next year, so you can still apply.

Yellow leaves of ginkgo on Showa-dori

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 3, 2017 16:00

ityo2017001.JPG

The ginkgo on Showa-dori is beautifully yellowing.

ityo2017002.JPG

Looking at the website of "Street Trees managed in Chuo-ku", ginkgo ranked third after Suzuki and willow, as in the ranking by tree two years ago (as of May 8, 2017) was

However, I realized that the difference from the willow is almost gone (only two difference).

ityo20171130.jpg

The number of ginkgo is increasing, but it is a little worried that the willow, which is the "tree of the ward", is decreasing (see blog post in December 2015 below)

ityo2017003.JPG

After the Great Kanto Earthquake, ginkgo was selected as a street tree on Showa-dori, a road created as part of a reconstruction project, probably because of its reputation for the fire resistance of ginkgo.

Finally, the new year is Shiwasu.
