In Chuo-ku, there is something called "Chuo-ku Four Declaration".

　(1) Heiwa, Chuo-ku City Declaration 　

　(2) Chuo-ku Declaration of Flower City 　

　(3) City of the Sun Chuo-ku Declaration 　

　(4) Clean recycling Chuo-ku Declaration

Details of each content are posted on the following site. https://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/syokai/sengen/index.html

 

When I went to Hamacho Park, where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, these declarations are the objects (pictured) in the park.

I found that it was written on the side.

When you read these declarations while watching the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the weather is warm and cheerful.

Chuo-ku is a "peace city" and a "city of flowers" and "clean" in a "town of the sun"

I felt it.

You may not usually see it much, but once again the "Chuo-ku Four Declaration"

Let's try to understand it. Maybe there's a new discovery.

 

 

 

　Around this time, high-rise apartments were built one after another in the neighborhood where I live, and there were no vacant lots, so stray cats disappeared. One day I was called out by a woman. The woman, who had felt sympathy with stray cats for more than 20 years in the vicinity, fed by several OLs in the neighborhood, rubbed traces, and asked the veterinary clinic for care, contraception, castration, etc. of sick cats. Was one of the people who were asking. A few years ago, the cost of birth control and neutering of stray cats has been paid out in Chuo-ku.

At present, there are 1 or 2 stray cats in Suiten Miyaura, so they seem to be careful about the health of their cats. For more than 20 years, the girl, who was a stray cat, got sick, so she has been living together in her room. My name is Nene.　

[Nene-chan]

Even if a domestic cat gets sick, the cost of treatment increases, so some people throw it away, so the heart to take care of it because it is sick has become very warm.　I saw a rat running several times a year.　I thought this was because there were fewer outside cats.

 

 

To commemorate the opening of the Shin Kabukiza Theater, a parade "Ginza Hanamichi" was held on the morning of the 27th at Ginza Chuo-dori, Chuo-ku, by 60 young Kabuki actors, including Tokizo Nakamura and Ebizo Ichikawa.

At the event, entitled "Century's Training," 32,000 Kabuki fans gathered and cheered in the windy light rain.

　From Ginza 1-chome to just before Matsuya, if the weather was fine, the parade started at 10:00 and ended at 11:00, with the wind fluttered and the departure was greatly delayed in the light rain, and started after 10:30. The security police officers ask the audience to take the lead and fold their umbrellas. Everyone knocked on the umbrella, everyone became wet rats, and watched the start with a strong spit.　The announcer was Mr. Tokumitsu.

　"Done,"　

　With the signal of the fireworks, the procession started. At that moment, the rain fell down, and cheers came from the starting point to Mizuho Bank, which I waited for.

At first, the actors looked down, looked up at the heavens, walked silently, but with the rise of cheers, smiled, broken face, and saw it, the audience, a woman shed tears, The old couple raised their hands and shouted to their favorite actors.

　The speed of the march is very fast, and the audience from 1-chome rushed to 2-chome to chase it, 2-chome overlaps with 1-chome, 3-chome seems to overlap with 1-chome, and the sidewalk gradually became hot There was no footstep.

　The march time ended for more than 10 minutes, but everyone who supported this parade was really happy to see and support the century's "drenting".

　The new Kabukiza Theater also blends well into the atmosphere of Ginza while maintaining the atmosphere of the time based on plaster.

　

In addition, from Higashi-Ginza Station, you can enter without an umbrella even on rainy days, making it easy for customers.

　The Kabuki performance will finally begin on April 2nd.

 

 

 

With the "Guide Map of Kazuo Confectionery Association in Chuo-ku", we are purchasing representative products of each shop.　At that time, a shop sells "broken rice crackers", and the bag says "Kusuke".

　Hey, I knew that "I call a broken rice cracker called Kusuke." Speaking of which, I remembered that I learned such a thing from Kyoba Peony.　According to the dictionary, Hisa is the same pronunciation Q.　→　　It means that one is not enough for the perfect 10, so it is called this, and it is said that it is an industry word mainly used in the rice crackers industry.　It's stylish!　

The "Guide map of Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Association", which I always bring when I go out, is very useful. There are 38 merchants, so far we have visited 20 stores, put their receipts on a map, and used them as stamp cards.　It's very fun.　　How would you like to join us? In addition, the guide map of the Kazuo Confectionery Association in Chuo-ku can be obtained at the stores of each member store.　For more information, please refer to this guide from "NPO Chuo Net".　http://www.tokyochuo.net/sightseeing/wagashi/index.html

 

 

At Harumi Triton Square, a program named "Tsutomu Night" is held on the third Thursday of each month or irregularly. The other day, I was able to participate in this "Night Tsutomu" and spend a meaningful time.

The new Kabukiza Theater is now less than a month to open.
The installation work of the tower in the front has been completed, and the mood is rising above.
   

 

As soon as possible, the subway Higashi-Ginza Station and the basement of the building were connected, and escalators and elevators were installed, making it very convenient.

 

And the nice thing is that a very fun space called "Kibikicho Square" was born underground!

     

This plaza is said to be considered in response to disasters, but if you go out of the subway ticket gate and go a little further, the space will first spread out, and from the high ceiling, the large Japanese lantern marked "Kabukiza" is falling.
 

There were quite a few people taking a commemorative photo in front of this Japanese lantern, so shooting here may become a standard in the future.

In the back, parasols are lined up on the bench, which is very convenient for meeting and resting.
The various shops are lined up on the wall, so it looks very spacious, but once the performance starts, I think it will surely be crowded with many people.

 

Rooftop gardens and galleries can be reached from here, but the opening has only opened, so it is still closed now.

 

By the way, what kind of shops are in the square is that first of all, it is a souvenir for lunch boxes that are indispensable for the ticket office, a local information corner, a combination cafe, a general store, a restaurant, and a play .

Above all, at the souvenir shop "Kaomise", there are many items that can only be purchased here, so you can get lost.

 

Starting with goods related to actors and Kabuki performances, he discovered a demonstration sale of Kintsuba, which was once in the theater, while fashionable packages of rice crackers and sweets were lined up.
Wow, I was happy to be able to eat again.
 

In addition, there is a corner of freshly baked bread next to it.
"Kumatori bean paste" has matcha in Ogura and seasonal cherry blossoms, so I think it is inevitable to eat it, but it is too delicious, so it seems that I will go out to the extent I intend to take it home as a souvenir .

 　　

 

In addition, the recommended item is "Early Roll Soft Cream" which I thought about.
A gem made by soft serve ice cream and crushing Kabuki fried rice cracker.
The sweetness of soft serve ice cream and the saltiness of Kabuki fried are matchless.

 

If you go out of this square using an escalator and elevator to the ground, it is exactly the front of Kabukiza Theater.

It's so fun that I'm going to shop and just forget the time, but I hope you don't forget the start time.
