The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on the Sumida River Terrace.

[kimitaku] March 9, 2017 18:00

Take a walk on the right bank of the Sumida River during the daytime on March holiday.

You can hear the birds singing from somewhere.

The place where the squeals are made is the Sumida River Terrace. It's the base of Eitai Bridge.

A bird was coming to suck the nectar of the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

The little bird tries to take pictures of Japanese white-eye.

It seems that it is impossible with a smartphone.

I don't think it's Yoshino cherry tree, but every year at this time.

It seemed to be in full bloom earlier than other cherry blossoms and attracted spring.

The sweets of Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel were wonderful.

Saturday, February 18th, at Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel

The 9th Chuo-ku Tourism Association Tourism Certification Test was held.

  

A lot of people went to the test site with a sense of tension.

 

I couldn't sleep well the day before, and I went to the test site.

When you head to the entrance

The smiles of the tourist association staff were very nice.

Surrounded by a smile, he relaxed my tension.

 

Stay calm and go upstairs and take a break.

 Will it be displayed at the wedding reception?

 I thought that the customers who receive this candy would be able to immerse themselves in a very happy feeling.

I found an Austrian pottery shop in Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

  : : : GMUNDNER (Gumundner) Shop: : : :

 

 ・・・ I found a shop with a German name in front of Nihonbashi Elementary School. ・・・・・。

 With the exception of the window, there are many pottery with colorful patterns.

 The owner, Kazuo Kobayashi, is a Japanese mother whose father is an Austrian man.

It's very handsome.

 I opened a store in Nihonbashi Ningyocho

It is also behind the alley of Ningyocho, which has a tasteful atmosphere.

It seems to be because we want our customers to see the pottery slowly.

 Please enjoy colorful pottery at your side.

It would be great if you could make your meal time even more enjoyable as a companion to the dining table.

・・He spoke with a smile.

 

 When you leave the store, you can see the clear autumn sky.

The Gumunden pottery in the window glowed very colorfully in the sun.

 

Gumundner shop

We took a walk near the planned Olympic Village site.

[kimitaku] October 28, 2016 18:00

As you walk toward Harumi Wharf, you will find a vast vacant lot.

As you can see on the signboard, this is the planned site of the Olympic athlete village.

DSC_1544.JPG

The construction is in the middle of the project.

 

This time we went to the Central Cleaning Center.

If you go up the stairs of the center, you will find a small park.

If you look right, you will see the Toyomi Ohashi Bridge under construction.

DSC_1552.JPG 

Route 2, which is under construction at Tsukiji Ohashi, continues to the left from Ohashi.

 

In front of the left, Asashio Kobashi is on the canal, and in the left rear is Takeshiba Pier. A big ship was berthing.

 

In this area, the scenery changes with each passing day.

It is only four years before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

It is also recommended to take a leisurely and spacious walk around the planned site during the autumn holidays.

 

There is also a bus stop near the Central Cleaning Center, and it is recommended to use a bus for a walk. The name of the bus stop is "Hot Plaza Harumi".

Lion of Yamataka Shappo (Mitsukoshi Ginza store)

[kimitaku] September 16, 2016 14:00

 Walk around Ginza 4-chome, Akihiwa. Cross the intersection from Wako. 

A different atmosphere than usual. The head of the lion statue in Mitsukoshi is black.

 It's a great discovery.

 What a Lion ... he was wearing a big black hat.

DSC_1352.JPG

 It's not an ancient song of Enoken.

"I'm the most mobo in the village ... Lloyd Glasses like Yamatakashape."

I remembered the song of "Stylish Man".

 A customer who found a lion statue on a hat. Don't touch the hat, stroke your feet

Rush your face. It feels like there is more contact with the skin than before.

 

 From now on, Lion  

 Do you want to drink bura-Brazil coffee in Ginza?

 The lion statue of this hat 

It seems to be an event from September 7th.

From now on, meeting in front of the lion statue will be fun.

Show window in Ginza

[kimitaku] September 2, 2016 16:00

In Ginza, famous brands from all over the world open stores.

The show window of the shop is also unique.

I'd like to introduce some of them today.

It seems interesting to take a closer look at each shop.

 Each store has its corporate philosophy status.

It feels like it's clear.

The decoration of the window is after closing.

Many are done in the middle of the night.
