Walking in Chuo-ku (Harumi West District 1)

[kimitaku] July 31, 2014 17:00

The first time is information on the west side of Harumi-dori St. in Harumi district.

Transportation is Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line.

By bus, get off at "Kachidoki Station", head toward Harumi, and follow the west side of Reimei Bridge toward Harumi.

When you cross the Reimei Bridge, you will see the morning tide canal boat landing on the right.

There are many boats coming and going in the afternoon, and at night the lights of ships such as Japanese lantern are exceptional.

Customers wearing yukata on both the houseboat and the cool-down boat are also on board.

Cross the bridge, on the right is the newly renovated Reimeibashi Park.

Instead of a fountain, a fog fountain ...? It will heal the visitors who come. I feel good in summer.

Go out of the park and go along the right river. When you go down Asashio Water Park, you'll get a sea sign.

 

Looking at the numbers.

The bottom of the river is quite deep.

In front of Tokyo Towers, Ring Route 2 toward Shimbashi is under construction.  


Head to Harumi Wharf and go through the overpass Route 2. Around this time, the appearance has changed rapidly over time, such as the construction of a high-rise building related to the Ring Route 2.

P1000892-1.jpgLet's go through Plaza Harumi and look at Tokyo Bay. This is a spot where you can see Mount Fuji while walking.

Early in the morning, when the atmosphere is stable, the male figure is.

However, this "Mot Mount Fuji" may be full of this year.

A high-rise building is under construction in the direction of Shibaura. "Mount Fuji" will soon be over the building. I'm sorry.

At the end of the harbor fire department is a spot.

 

Next time, from Harumi Wharf.

 

 

 

A statue of a wild boar that invites happiness

[Tachibana] July 16, 2014 14:00

Currently, it is a company that supports everything from childcare supplies to nursing care, but the headquarters of "Pigeon", a company that seems to have been taken care of at least once as a baby bottle company, is located in Nihonbashihisamatsucho.

There is a statue of a wild boar at the entrance of this company.

This is a statue called the "Pig that invites happiness" and is a reproduction of the work of the 17th century Italian sculptor Pietro Takka. It seems that the real thing is in Florence, Italy.
 

It is said that stroking the nose of the boar statue will be blessed with fortune, marriages, child treasures, etc., and many people will have stroked their nose, only the nose is shiny.

Edomae Tendon! Hannosuke Kaneko

[TAKK...] July 4, 2014 14:00

 While I wanted to go for a long time, I went to the Tendon shop "Kanenosuke Kaneko", which was leaning into the length of the line.

 Nihombashi Muromachi, near Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line.

 I arrived at the store just before 11 o'clock, just before opening.

 There has already been a lot of time.

 It seems that there are more people who are lined up than the number of seats in the store. It is unlikely that you will be able to enter the store immediately after opening. At this time, I was wondering if I could enter the store for the second round.

 While they were lined up, shoppers came to get orders, and there was water service.

 In the meantime, I ended up waiting for an hour and a half.

 When I entered the store, I was taken to the second floor. Because it is a thriving store, I thought it might be packed with people, but it is relatively spacious and bright and beautiful.

 It's very cozy and I want to stay long without a long line.

First of all, wait for the Tendon to come while having the "Garigobo" placed on the table.

It was elegant, chewy, and very delicious, so I bought it as a souvenir.

A vigorous sister brought me a bowl. It's a great volume.

I'll have it with miso soup.

Shrimp, congridae, half-boiled eggs, shaved fried chicken, etc. are all freshly fried, and the flavor of sesame oil is good and the sauce is delicious again.

The time in the line was also a good memory in an instant.
