Tokyo Chentronase: Vol-3 (Ningyocho, Shunkin Sunday)

[ww] December 5, 2011 08:30

On Sunday, December 4th, each Nihonbashi town council gathered on Ningyocho-dori to hold a mochi-making tournament.
It was impressive to see the children who had experience in turn.
This is the beginning of the year. Ningyocho, which is crowded with worship at Suitengu Shrine, is gradually becoming more and more popular with stalls selling Shinto straw festoon and New Year decorations.

Tokyo Chentronase: Vol-2 (Red Purple at the end of Spring)

[ww] May 10, 2011 09:00

Under the cherry blossoms of River City, purple orchiran (silane) quietly tells the end of spring.

It is sometimes seen at the eaves of Tsukuda and Tsukishima, but this is a colony and looks like a red-purple carpet.
Please go out for the cherry blossom viewing in spring, which will be over soon.
You can also see the sky tree through the flowers. (ww)

Most trees are now peaking.
In view of the weather forecast, cherry blossoms can be seen in fine weather until April 7 (Thursday).
Please enjoy the row of trees that shine white as if snow had gathered.         (ww)

 

 

Little Sense, Chuo-ku (vol4: Nihonbashi Honmachi: Hana and Dango)

[ww] March 16, 2011 08:30

The row of cherry blossom trees (Okamezakura) at Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome is in full bloom. 
  (It is introduced in detail in Sam's post on March 7.)

A little earlier spring color heals your feelings.
It's best because the sun shines just during the day from 11:00 to 13:00.
You can enjoy both eyes and belly with lunch.

In addition, the white plums beside Nami-Inari Shrine in Tsukuda are in full bloom.
Please go out ahead of spring.

 

 

Chuo-ku Little Sense (vol3: Tsukuda Island, Yodamari no Michi)

[ww] February 18, 2011 09:30

While the temperature is repeated, the season is suitable for spring.
You can see the peak red plums now in various places in the city.

Potted red plums are blooming in the alleys of Tsukuda Island.
As expected, the plum blossom season is long and it has been more than three weeks since it began to bloom.
After overcoming the snow the other day, it is finally in full bloom.
The sunlight shines on this red plum around 12:30 noon.
If possible, why not take a walk during the lunch break?

Chuo-ku Little Sense (vol2: Minato Park, two special seats)

[ww] May 18, 2010 08:45

Two benches in a narrow green space. It is a small place with slightly clovers around.

Minato Park is located near the Sumida River near Minato 2-chome near Tepposhu Inari.


There are two benches in the area that crosses public roads and borders the river, and the front is a group of high-rise apartments in River City that covers the eyes. And the feet are unaccessible vacant lots, covered with small plants such as clovers, and pigeons and sparrows quietly pop the leaves.
In the well-maintained Chuo-ku, the scene that can be said to be untouched is truly impressive.
If the condominium group on the opposite bank looks like a high mountain range, this green looks like a wide grassland.
We recommend that you sit on these two benches.
I'm sure it will be a special seat that everyone can relax.
