Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I went to see what kind of situation Harumi, who was decided to be the Olympic athlete village to be held in Tokyo in 2020, is in progress.

The area around Harumi Pier was undergoing an amazing transformation.

The impressive building of "Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal" (pictured above, left building) was the same, but there were many buildings for the athlete village in the past, where it was a parking lot or around it. Was under construction

After the Olympics, an even higher-rise tower apartment will be built, and many houses will be lined up.

There was a sign saying "Athlete Village Construction Site"

From Harumi Wharf, you can see the building of Toyosu Market (Koto-ku), which opened after the relocation of Tsukiji Market in October last year.

Over there, on the 5th of this month, there was the first New Year's annual “first auction”, and bluefin tuna (278 kg) from Oma, Aomori Prefecture was auctioned off for 333.6 million yen per bottle.

The scenery of Harumi is changing rapidly.

 

 

This year, I visited Seven Lucky Gods on New Year's Day.

The seasonal feature, the 35th "Ginza Old Book Market", which has become an annual event, will be held in January.

The previous year, those who purchased in this city seemed to receive a catalog with a catalog of old books, and this catalog arrived.

This catalog itself is beautiful (the inside is almost color ()), thanks and thanks.

The place is Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza.

The period is from Wednesday, January 16 to 21 (Mon).

In addition to old books, there are also works of art, such as books and ukiyo-e, that make it fun just by looking at them.

Frost protection

Some canola flower, which was protected by the net, was beginning to bloom.

I think I come here every time, but even if there is such a quiet and relaxing space in Chuo-ku, it is very close to Tokyo Bay.
