In Nihonbashiodenmacho, "Kusa City" was held on May 27!

　

Kushishi City is a festival that became the predecessor of Bettara City, which has continued since the middle of the Edo period. Bettara City is held in October, and is a city standing on the day before "Ebisu-ko", where nearby residents wishing for business prosperity worship Ebisu-sama and invite close people to hold a comfort party. Various things such as Ebisu-ko, year-end necessities, and pickled vegetables are sold, and they are still very busy today. Its predecessor was "Kusashi City". It seems that he was called because he sold unsold galactors and riverbanks.

The city was revived four years ago. It was held in May of fresh green so that it would be paired with Betara City in autumn!

　

By the way, the modern Kusha city has become one of the highest-level gourmet festivals in Chuo-ku, without being ridiculous. The venue is Ebisu Street, just a short walk from Kodemmacho Station. It's a thin and short street, and the scale is small.

　

Yeah! But!

　

The store opening level is amazing. It's not a so-called event gourmet, but a long-established and popular store nearby offers a serious taste at a low price. It's very delicious no matter where you eat it. I don't have anything. There is also an eat-in and take-out. Great!

　
Please check the official website for details. → Nihonbashi Hisashi City

Starting with Nihachikai, La Farina, Restaurant Katsura, Manrai Senkaku, Nihonbashi Benmatsu, and nowadays a lot of attention! At last, an employee cafeteria.

　

　

　

One of the most popular food products was Co-op sales.

　

　

Click here for the eat-in corner. It's cool.

　

　
The product sales are also substantial.

Good items such as kendama, bags, sketchbooks and stamps are lined up cheaply. There is also a service where you can freely press the stamp on the purchased sketchbook!

　

　

There are fewer people than the city, so you can relax. There is also a corner for children.

　

On this street there is also a shop of HARIO, a popular glass manufacturer.

　

　

　

　

And there is also a gallery that is irresistible for art lovers.

　

　

　

Currently, we are holding a Bijinga Borderless Publishing Commemorative Exhibition. The popular beauty painters of this world are competing for handbrushes, making it a very sweet space. For more information, please visit the official website. → Miurajiro Gallery

　

It is less than a 10-minute walk from Ebisu Street, where the city is held, to Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. In this city, the holding time is from 11:00 to 17:00, which is very healthy! Under the sun in May, leisurely delicious rice, bargain shopping, and tour the gallery. It will be held next year, so if you are interested, please come and play. I recommend an early time!

　

 

 

I went to "Tokyo Minato matsuri" held from May 26 (Sat) to 27 (Sun) at Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal and Wharf. Tokyo Port opened as an international trading port on May 20, 1941, and is held every year on Saturdays and Sundays around May 20, 1941.

In addition to booth displays in the terminal and events on stage, rare ships are open to the public.

I can't usually get on by ordinary people

Kaitaka Maru, a training boat operated by Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology
Japan Coast Guard Surveying Ship "Ocean"
The dredge ship "Umiryu" of the Port and Harbor Bureau of Tokyo
The Marine Self Defense Force's escort ship "Hakaze"

I was able to experience it. There was a line at the entrance.
Some ships open a high-temperature engine room, and those who are in charge of staying at the site during the hot weather and responding to the participants will fall down.

Tokyo Minato matsuri has also been involved in the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, so it is recommended that those who wish to take the test visit once.

 

 

An exhibition of bead weaving is being held at "Gallery Ginza", a gallery in Ginza 2-chome.

The period is from Wednesday, May 23 to May 28 (Monday).

Please note that the time is from 11am to 7pm, but the last day is until 4pm.

The gallery is on the second floor, up the stairs.

At the venue, there are all bead-weaving works, from card holders, folding fans, beanbags, and framed walls.

It is a group of beautiful colors, fine work, and elaborate works.

It seems to be the first exhibition.

The "weaving machine" for producing these works is also on display, and I learned that "weaving machine" is called "loom".

I was surprised by the unexpected softness, smoothness, moistness, and moderate weight of the work on display.

In fact, it is an exhibition where you can feel the splendor by looking closely with the naked eye.

Please drop in during the period.

In addition, we received your consent for photography in the venue, and the person himself explained how to make the work.

Thank you very much
