When it comes to spring events on the Sumida River, cherry blossom viewing is the best.

When it comes to sporting events, there is this historic event that takes place every April.

This is the Waseda-Keio Regatta, which celebrates its 84th anniversary in 2015. This is an eight-seater boat race between Waseda University and Keio University.

(The picture is from a regatta a few years ago.)

This tournament is known as the competition between Tokyo's best private universities, but since the boat itself is not a very major sport, it has a plain impression now.

However, it is said that in the past, it has attracted considerable attention.

By the way, it is relations with Chuo-ku, but race may start from around Hamacho Park because the starting point is upstream of Shinohashi.

The goal is Sakurabashi that crossed Asakusa.

It takes about 10 minutes to go through this distance.

At the starting point, OBOGs from both schools are cheering. Is there a lot of people who were university students a little long time ago? Still, everyone is hot.

Both schools started shortly about their location. When we started accelerating, it quickly disappeared to Ryogoku Bridge. The latest information comes in by radio, but you can not see the race process in Chuo-ku. Even so, there are also TV broadcasts, so some people seem to watch it on their mobile phones. Isn't this kind of sport suitable for public viewing?

It seems that there have been various progress, but this year we won Keio University.

Waseda University will pledge the humiliation of next year and will do his best again.

This kind of repetition will build history.

This is the 84th time since it has been more than 100 years in history. In fact, there was a time when the river was dirty and I couldn't race. It was finally revived in the 1950s and has continued to this day.

If you think so, it's a race with a beautiful Sumida River. I hear that players from both schools are proud to be on this stage.

Remember that the tradition of this race is inseparable from the Sumida River and is with the people who protect the Sumida River.

Do you like Japanese tea?

It seems that the new tea is a spring feast.

From Kayabacho to Hatchobori and Shintomicho by bicycle, go to Shin-ohashi-dori St. toward Tsukiji.

On the right side of the intersection of Tsukiji 3-chome (formerly two fruit shops had been used to be)

There is "Uogashi Meicha Tsukiji New Store" Cha no Minoru Club "".

May 11 (Mon)-16 (Sat) 10:00-17:00

"Tea Yukai" Was held.

You can enjoy a variety of tea for 700 yen per person.

After playing during Golden Week, why don't you "healed" by Japanese tea?

This exhibition began on April 15th. About a week ago, Matsuya's wall turned into Miffy's face, and there are many people who point their cameras from across Ginza Street!

It was a start of a full-fledged topic making, and it was very busy every day. I went out on the first Sunday and went back to shop only three days later because of the so popular goods section.

I think there are many people who remember the Japanese translation "Usako-chan" series. The venue was full of people who were children in the past. My face is gradually changing from the first work, Miffy, the second work, and the third work. Miffy, 180cm tall, designed by Japanese creators, also appeared.

There is a "breakfast memo" drawn by Bruna for his wife every morning, and I am convinced that Miffy was born from this happy family with a cute touch of today's day schedule. There was a "Miffy's Clear File" in the hard and reputable teacher's room at a certain national museum where I was bothering me at work, and I remembered the teacher's shy expression that I thought "I was seen".

Until May 10th (Sun). Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square 10:00 to 20:00 Closed at 17:00 on the last day

General 1,000 yen, high school university students 700 yen, junior high school students 500 yen, elementary school students 300 yen

More than 1300 years ago, Kanda Myojin was founded around Otemachi.
It has been 400 years since I was transferred to Sotokanda in 1616 as the guardian of Omote unlucky direction.
Kanda festival in Tokyo has become an indispensable part of the downtown community as an annual event.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of Ieyasu's death, and together with NHK Taiga drama series, you can feel familiar with Edo.

The Bridgestone Museum of Art in Kyobashi is famous for its works that are familiar with textbooks, but it will be closed from May 18 and newly built.

I'm looking forward to the newly reborn museum, but I'll keep it for a few years, so if you like painting, please hurry. A total of about 160 best selections selected from the Ishibashi Foundation collection are waiting for you.

In the hall, Manet, who is called impressionist's father, welcomes you upright, and you will see Renoir's rich women and two works of Monet's water lilies. It makes me want to show off to everyone that there is an art museum in Chuo-ku where you can see such a good work. It's a pity that I can't meet my favorite works such as Van Gogh, Gogh, Cezanne and Picasso for a few years, but I can't wait for a day when I can relax and interact with the works in Chuo-ku in the middle of Tokyo and spend a luxurious time.
