The TS building in Ginza 5-chome. "East Japan Reconstruction Support Plaza in Ginza".

In front of the building, volunteers are engaged in activities to support Tohoku every weekend. 

　You are volunteers living in each ward in Tokyo and Chuo-ku. I admire you.

A little, handmade publicity.　I've heard it in newspapers or on TV news.

The story of a doll called "Manmaru-san".　It's a very good story.　The doll obtained something similar to his granddaughter in the form of a donation. It's cute.　I recommend it to everyone.

At the bottom of the doll, the edges are tied with red thread.　We are also connected to the people of Tohoku.

I found a website about the details of "Manmaru-san".　Please read it.

I've heard about "East Japan Reconstruction Support Project from Ginza", but I didn't know that it is located in the same building as "Komon marche" and is working as such a big project.

I got a leaflet saying "Eat, buy and watch in Ginza and support East Japan!" Looking at the contents, Tokyu Land Co., Ltd. is a series of support activities conducted at the East Japan Reconstruction Support Plaza on the 1st and 2nd floors of the TS Building in Ginza, and as a place to continue supporting the reconstruction of Tohoku from Ginza, Tokyo in October 2011. It is said that it opened in　The theme of the reconstruction support plaza is two, the first is "In Tokyo, we sell special products of Tohoku, and support Tohoku in terms of product sales and distribution." The second is "a place for information dissemination."

 Here on the 1st and 2nd floors of the TS Building in Ginza, everyone "eat, buy, and watch" leads to "dispel reputational damage and negative image", and the money "return properly!" It's about connecting to the local people.　I was quite impressed by the silver.

This activity includes 1. Ginza Ikinari Market, 2. Ginza Connected Cafeteria, 3. Nippon Agricultural Market, 4. Komon marche-Ibaraki Farm, 5.Cafe Ibaraki Rose, 6.NEVER FORGET Tohoku, 7. Ginza Hirogae stage (exhibition and event space). Activities will continue until August 2012. Why don't you go to the next consecutive holiday and see it?　Usually, Monday is a regular holiday, and here for more information. http://www.ginza-fukkou.jp/ 

From Yasuaki Elementary School, follow Miyuki-dori, and in front of Nishi-Ginza-dori, on the 1st floor of Ginza TS Building 5-2-1, Ginza 5-1, Ginza.

Suddenly, my feet stopped on the signboard called "NEVER FORGET Tohoku" that entered the field of view.　

2011.03.11 This is an unforgettable date.　It's been a year since then.　A variety of volunteers are active. When I went inside and tried to hear the story, Toshio Shiba was greeted today.　I've been listening to you, so I'll report it.

"Care house for children who lost their parents in the Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami!"

In the Great East Japan Earthquake tsunami on March 11, 2011, more than 1,000 children lost their parents. The Shiba Fund for Children has started "NEVER FORGET Tohoku", an activity to support the construction of "Ashinaga Tohoku Rainbow House", a care house for such children.

Toshiyuki Nishida, Shigeru Matsuzaki, Take Tanaka, Hiroyuki Watanabe, Junichi Ishida, Yuko Natori, and others are cooperating with charity works.　It is processed into a postcard and received a donation. The postcard is 1,000 yen per set of five.　I gave you a wonderful original T-Shirt. The donation is 2,000 yen.

There are also messages from the general public who wrote their feelings.

This is limited to Saturdays and Sundays, and is held from 11:00 am to 18:00 am until early August 2012, so please go out every weekend.　Please never forget Tohoku.

Hello everyone.　Today we will show you the flowers of the Hamarikyu Gardens, especially the stunning Yae-zakura.

Enter the garden and in front of Shinsenza Kamoba.　From the left you can see "fringed iris", the yellow flower in the center is "Japan globeflower", and the white flower is a wild strawberry. (All photos are as of April 21.)

The bridge to the teahouse in Nakajima is under restoration.　However, splendid cherry blossoms are blooming on the left side of the embankment.

Then, let's walk on the outside promenade. "Fugen elephant" at the foot of Mt. Fujimi.

If you follow the road, you can see Yae-zakura such as Sekiyama and Kazuha.

And some elegant sweet scent drifts.　It's "Surugadai smell."

Then, about 30 meters before the seaside bridge is the rare Yae-zakura, such as Gyoiko, Sekiyama, Turmeric and Kazuha.

Let's go left in front of the canola flower field.　Buttons are beginning to bloom.

I think the best time to see peony is until mid-May, but is Yae-zakura until April 27?

Please go out and enjoy it. For inquiries, please contact Hamarikyu Garden at 03-3541-0200.

　From February to March, we enjoyed lunch and dinner at Casa Montes in Ginza 5-chome.

The entrance looks like this, and it's ruined.

In February, around 12:30 on a rainy day, there were few customers and we had a quiet lunch. This is a picture of the menu.

　The inside of the store is like this.

I tasted it with a delicious wine and a meal, then bring her with me.　It's an appetizer.

It's a bit of a lot of delicious food.

In fact, it's one of the stores I wanted to keep secret.

Meijiza will celebrate its 140th anniversary on April 28, 2013.　On the second floor of Meijiza, the transition of the name and the actors who came out are introduced along with photos.

On the second floor of Meijiza, there is a panel explaining its history.　Initially, it began under the name of Kishoza, and there was a change in Hisamatsu-za, Chitose-za, and Meijiza.　

The transition and development from the Meiji era to the Taisho era, Showa, and Heisei are exhibited along with nostalgic male actors and actresses.　

Well, the play of Meijiza is really fun.　Ginzo uses the reservation system "Sekitori-kun" to reserve the best seats for theater. Click here for the website of Meijiza. http://www.meijiza.co.jp/
