Beautiful town "Chuo-ku" (^-^v)

[Shitamachi Tom] May 30, 2012 17:00

Sunday, May 27 is "Clean Day" in Chuo-ku. Cleaning activities were carried out in each town for the purpose of beautification of the area.

This day was blessed with refreshing early summer weather, and I think that many people participated in the activities in each area.
I also participated in the local activities. This feels a bit shy, but it's nice to be clean in my town.


20120527 Clean Day (3) jpgWhat I think about participating in activities every year is that "Chuo-ku is a pretty beautiful town."

It doesn't mean that other towns are not, but I have never seen a sight of garbage scattered in any town in Chuo-ku. Probably, in each area, there are many people in their homes, businesses and shops, who are careful about the beautification around them. In addition, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Ginza, Tsukiji, Tsukishima ... each region has the pride of each region, and it seems that such an atmosphere is naturally created.

For those who come from outside, it will surely lead to a good impression that Chuo-ku is a beautiful and pleasant town.
If the appeal of urban design is added in addition to beautification, it will truly lead to the competitiveness of the city. In order for Chuo-ku to continue to be a wonderful town comparable to international cities in the world, I would like to continue creating a clean and wonderful town.

Let's cherish the beautiful town "Chuo-ku".

[Mr.Chuo-ku] May 30, 2012 08:30

Did you know that luxury cruise ships and ships from Japan and abroad are berthed at Harumi Wharf in Harumi, Chuo-ku? It is said that this "Harumi Wharf" is used when an overseas sailing ship pays a courtesy call to Japan, or when the Antarctic observation ship "Shirase" departs or returns to the port.


When I went for a walk at Harumi Wharf on May 20, a luxury cruise ship was parked.
According to the seafarer, this ship leaves Kobe Port, goes around Japan around the left, stops at ports at key points, and as a major event, the `` Annular solar eclipse '' on May 21 It was to see from off the Pacific Ocean.

In addition, events such as the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival will be held at the Tokyo Minato matsuri and Harumi Wharf Park off the coast of Harumi Wharf.

Recently, the sun has become stronger, and it has become a sweaty season when walking around the city.


 In such a situation, a place where you can feel elegant and refreshing is open for a limited time (and free).


 On the top floor of "Fankel Ginza Square", an elegant special floor with a terrace garden that is not normally open.

There is the 5th Rose Garden this year, which is open.

I was able to relax very much with the beautiful flowers and fragrance of roses.


 In addition, there are shops, esthetics, and clinics where you can buy funkel products, so it's nice for women.


Location : 10th floor of Fankel Ginza Square 5-8-16 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

Period : May 24 (Thu)-31 (Thu), 2012 [11:00-18:00]

There was an organic restaurant "Mudo Samurai" in the same building.

If you have lunch here, it may be even better for beauty.

I just ate cutlet curry.......。

 Familiar Wakamatsuya of 6-chome 12-3 Tsukiji, Edomae! A coucher exhibition is being held. It's until June 2nd (Sat). What is Studio COOCA on display this time? I think there are many people who think about it, so I will explain it. It is a welfare facility where a person with a handicap works for the purpose of earning income from what he or she likes, such as painting and creation. Now, let's introduce some of the works on display.
