During road surface temperature measurement

[North Yujin] August 17, 2010 10:30

 From Ningyocho, pass through amazake Yokocho to Kiyosubashi-dori, and when you look at the opposite Meijiza area, you will see some new signs.

You will meet the title "Cool Road ~ Under Road Temperature Measurement ~"

 When I read it,

 The gray paint painted on the roadway of this street is called thermal insulation pavement.

 This pavement is a comfortable and cool road that reflects the heat from the sun and suppresses the rise in road temperature.

Yes, it is.

 On the left side, the illustration of Shirokuma-kun explains the comparison between the past pavement and this thermal insulation pavement.

First of all, the day

 Until now, the pavement absorbs the heat of the sun and generates heat on the road surface, and the road surface is hot.

 The heat-insulating pavement reflects the heat of the sun, making it difficult for heat to accumulate on the road surface. The road surface is cool.

Next at night,

 Until now, the road surface is hot because the heat from the day is released.

 The heat shielding pavement is comfortable even at night because heat is hard to store.

Yes, it is.

You can see the temperature display on the right side.

Current temperature is 30,7°C

Paving up to now 38,9°C

Heat-proof pavement 36,0°C

You can see the display.

You can see that the temperature on the road surface is rising compared to the outside temperature.

Today's effect is about 3 ° C, but sometimes the gap between 4 to 5 ° C can be seen.

The image above shows Kiyosubashi-dori on the side of amazake Yokocho from the front of this display board.

If you are careful, this special pavement can be seen around Higashinihombashi.

 If you ask the jurisdiction of the signboard, Chuo-ku government office road section

It is said that the heat shielding pavement itself has been carried out for a long time.

The signboard seems to be seen for the first time.

 It was a very interesting display board this summer.

 

 

 

Cafe where you can enjoy Latte Art.

[North Yujin] August 3, 2010 09:00

If you walk about 30 meters from the Rotary in Higashinihombashi toward Asakusabashi, you will find a stylish coffee shop on the left.

My name is Cafe 415.

First of all, please take a look.

Cafe 415 001.JPG

It seems to calm down somehow with the image of the forest.

When you enter the entrance, you will see the cute card of illustrator Mashiho Omori.

The floor was a wooden floor.

Just because it was just near noon, I ordered Mexican taco rice and sandwich plate, and so on.

There was a soup and drink at the lunchtime service.

Cafe 415 002.JPG

I asked for coffee and showed me the latte art.

Cafe 415 006.JPG

I'm sorry to break the shape a little because I moved it.

The lady of the staff, I was humble because there were still few repertories.

Please raise your arms and entertain you.

By the way, what is the origin of the name of the shop? When I heard that the day I decided to open the store was April 15th.

For a moment of coffee, it will soften your mind,

 

 

 

Searching for Tokyo Sky Tree (Part 2)

[North Yujin] June 2, 2010 09:00

Last time, I went down the Sumida River Terrace from Ryogoku Bridge to Eitai Bridge and looked for a buffet point.

This time, I looked for it from the land.

For now, Miyuki-dori in Higashinihombashi seems to be the best point.

It's from the center of the intersection with Nakadori.

If you make it up,

From here, you will go to the rotary where Kiyosugi-dori and Kiyosubashi-dori intersect.

It's a tree from the rotary.

If you make it up,

Undokai 091.JPG

This Miyuki-dori is almost a straight line to Ningyocho-dori, so you can catch it even a bit away from this line.

This rotary has been completed recently and has been fully maintained.

Take a look at the rotary flowerbed and the hydrangea along the street.

Looking for the Tokyo Sky Tree

[North Yujin] May 26, 2010 09:00

Is the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is under construction in Narihirabashi, approaching 400m soon?

Let's walk in search of the tree seen from the Chuo-ku side.

Considering the distance, first go to Ryogoku Bridge.

Please see the first image from the northern corner of Nishibashi packed.

Next, let's get off to the Sumida River Terrace.

If you look up from the lower side of Ryogoku Bridge, it looks like this.

I'll try to expand it a little.

Skytree from CHO 002.JPG

 

I walk toward Shinohashi, but I can't see it hidden in buildings on the opposite bank.

 

After passing the bridge, I could see it from around the curve.

Let's take two shots of chotted!

Take a look at the fire boats at Nihonbashi Fire Station and go to Kiyosu Bridge.

The tree can be seen from the northern end of Kiyosu Bridge, but it is enlarged and copied from the middle of the bridge full of the territory of Chuo-ku.

Next, head to the Sumida River Ohashi.

Here, too, it expands from the border of the ward (Sumida River Ohashi center) and captures the Sky Tree over Kiyosu Bridge.

Next, cross the Nihonbashi River and go to Eitai Bridge.

Let's go to the center of the bridge and catch the tree from within the ward.

Thanks to you, I was able to do good exercise for about an hour. 

Everyone, please try it.

[North Yujin] April 16, 2010 10:10

 An outdoor gallery introducing Nishiki-e and graduation works of elementary and junior high school students has appeared on the Sumida River Terrace heading from Ryogokubashi to Shinohashi.

You can see it just when you get off to the Sumida River Terrace from Hamacho Park.

Please enjoy it during a walk or jogging.

 Here are some of the masterpieces of graduation work.

Neighbor's flower

[North Yujin] April 11, 2010 11:00

 

The cherry blossom viewing in Yoshino cherry tree is coming to an end.

From now on, it's time to see various flowers even if you take a walk in the neighborhood of Chot.

I was able to meet such a radish flower in front of a shop in Hisamatsucho.

TERACE 002.JPG

You can see the beautiful radish feet from the flowerpot.

If you enter the Hamacho River Green Road from the Nihonbashi Fire Station Ningyocho branch office side, you can meet the fine Oshima cherry blossoms.

It is said that this name was given because it is often found on Izu-Oshima Island.

Yoshino cherry tree is one parent because it is said to be a hybrid of Oshima cherry blossoms and Edhigan cherry blossoms.

  TERACE 048.JPG

   The leaves of Sakuramochi were like this Oshima cherry tree.

There is Nisshinbo Building on the corner of amazake Yokocho.

The azaleas planted are wonderful.

TERACE 047.JPG

If you take amazake Yokocho to Ningyocho-dori, you will find a wonderful cherry tree in front of a shop called Sekiyama.

A tag written as Aoyama Sakura is tied to a tree.

The light pink Yae-zakura is now in full bloom.

I'm always looking forward to seeing you in full bloom.
