Blessed with fine autumn weather, before 10 o'clock, customers were watching the dolls from boxes in front of their favorite shops. There are 57 stores.

The doll put on hand salt seems to have the feeling of giving his child to his bride.                   

 At a long-established doll shop, Japanese-style dolls are available to customers.

 It makes you feel the tradition of Ningyocho.

 I'm heading to Harumi Wharf.

 

On the right side, the opposite bank of the Asashio Canal is the Toyomi district.

Tsukishima Wharf (Hokai Wharf).

 

 Shortly after we went to Harumi Park. The stone walls are assembled and the atmosphere of the castle ruins.

As you go along the way, you will see Harumi Passenger Terminal beyond the fountain.

 On the way to the observation tower, there is a wonderful monument. There is a small bird on the surface of the water.

While looking at it, you will go up to the observation tower. Mount Fuji is beautiful when it's fine.

The Sky Tree and of course Triton Square are up close.

Take the elevator to the ground at once. It's comfortable with the gentle air conditioning.

 

Go outside and head toward Triton, this area is a candidate site for the Olympic athlete village.

From time to time, the Metropolitan Police Department White Bike Corps is practicing seriously.

In the past, sometimes airships flew off from here.

When you go east through the construction site of Ring Route 2 and head to the hotel group, you will get a good scent.

 

 It's the Katsuobushi Center. 

Bonitobushi from famous shops such as Nihonbashi are transported here, dried in the sun at this place and shipped.

When I ask the clerk, "Tunabushi" is in front of me. It looked a little thicker.

Tunabushi is said to be used at a long-established soba shop in Nihonbashi.
