Flowers of Triton Square Late Autumn Edition

[kimitaku] Nov. 26, 2015 18:00

 The tree wilt began to blow,

 There is snow news in the mountains far north.

 

We took a walk in Triton Square in the cold morning.

 The morning sun is on the wall of the square and is colored.

 The leaves of the vines are colored bright red, and the sun shines into the back of the leaves.

 It reminds me of the autumn of an old Italian castle somewhere.

  Many flowers in the square still endure the cold of the north wind.

   It's pretty open the buds. These flowers

Ginza souvenir walk The scenery mark of the post office in Ginza

[Silver] Nov. 20, 2015 09:00

I got a MAP of "Ginza (small) souvenir walk".

I heard that this MAP was created as a collaboration (Itoya-sama, Yamazakura, Post Office) during Autumn Ginza 2015. 

 

After having fun shopping at a long-established store in Ginza, heavy bulky luggage is hard. 

  

In such a case, if you send it at the Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office, Ginza 4 Post Office, or Ginza-dori Post Office, you can send it by pushing the landscape staff at the post office window until 17:00 on weekdays. You can enjoy different designs for each station.

  

It has been confirmed that the landscape seal can be stamped at the post office window. Isn't it nice to put what you bought in Ginza in a box with the postmark of the post office in Ginza and send a present?

Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office is a Ginza-like landscape sign with the scenery of Namiki-dori.

The Ginza 4 Post Office is a landscape mark depicting the symbols of Hatoido, Wako, Ginza Line, and 4-chome.

The scenery mark of the Ginza-dori Post Office is reminiscent of willows, gas lanterns, and good old Ginza-dori.

    

First of all, "Ginza small souvenir walks Why don't you enjoy shopping and send them from these post offices?

 Here's the landscape mark I got.

The left is the scenery mark of Ginza-dori Post Office. It is a scenery where swallows dance on Ginza Street. The design with the willow in Ginza and the monument of the birthplace of Ginza is excellent. Right:

It is the postmark of Tokyo Ginza San of "Ginza Tori Post Office", which designed Benkei Musashibo in the Kanjin Book and the cityscape of Ginza. I think your sincerity and the elegance of Ginza will be conveyed to the gift.

Yamatoya Shirt Store EST 1876 The first story in Chuo-ku

[Silver] Nov. 11, 2015 14:00

 "Yamatoya Shirt Store" in Ginza 6-chome, Chuo-ku is the first shirts shop in Japan.

According to the explanation of the "Chuo-ku First Story Map" at hand, it was explained.

 

5 The first shirt shop in Japan, 5.

Current: yamatoya Main Store

Birth: Meiji 9 (1876), current address: 6-7-8, Ginza

We opened the first shirts shop in Japan on Benten Street in Yokohama Seki.

 At first, I was doing business with foreign counterparts full of harbors.

It was burned by the Great Yokohama Air Raid and revived in Ginza in 1953.

  

 I've encountered a very affordable wagon sale for the first time.

 

There is a cloth tag attached to the neck inside Yamatoya's shirt.

   EST     1876

   yamatoya ®

             GINZA

This is a proof of quality assurance.

Tokyo Kosoku Doro-Part 3 Hair Salon Ginza Matsunaga and the phantom town name "Ginza Nishi" ~

[Nojinya] Nov. 3, 2015 12:00

I'm going to the barber shop that I always go to because my hair is growing soon. The location is "Ginza Ins 3" which I introduced in my blog before. 。 。

Yes, it is a shopping street under Tokyo Kosoku Doro that goes around Ginza. This is unique in terms of shopping streets under the highway, but the tenants inside also have attractive shops such as "Japone (/archive/2015/08/post-2652.html)" introduced last time. This time, I would like to talk about the barber shop in Ginza Ins 3 and the phantom town name "Ginza Nishi 1-chome" as the third installment of "Tokyo Kosoku Doro".

 

Open the glass door at the entrance of Ginza Inns 3 above Ginza 1-chome Station on the subway Yurakucho Line and enter inside. When you go through the side of a tailor with the atmosphere of Showa and enter the back, you will see a rotating pole with red, white, and blue stripes. Matsunaga1.jpgThe name of the shop is "Ginza Matsunaga Yurakucho Store". Some of you may have questions after reading so far, so please give me a little supplementary explanation. This is the Yurakucho store, but the place is in Chuo-ku. Ginza Ins 3, where the Ginza Matsunaga Yurakucho store is located, is located just above the border between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku because it was originally built by reclaiming the outer moat (river). In fact, because the administrative divisions are unclear, it is still an unusual address called "Ginza Nishi 1-chome 2nd place (Saki)". Currently, the display of residences in the Ginza district is integrated into Ginza 1-8 chome, but these were once divided into place names such as Ginza Nishi, Ginza, and Ginza Higashi (formerly Kibikicho). Matsunaga3.JPG[Source:: From wikipedia, "New and Old Town Name Comparison Map before and after the Earthquake Reconstruction (Ginza District)"
 

The place name Ginza Nishi 1-chome was originally Minami Konya-cho, from the west side of Ginza Gaslight Street to Sotobori-dori St. in Ginza 1-chome. When it was the name of Nishikonyamachi, it was changed to Ginza Nishi 1-chome in 1930, and it was integrated into Ginza 1-chome due to the change of residence display in 1968, and it became Ginza 1-chome. As a result, the name of Ginza Nishi 1-chome seemed to have disappeared, but thanks to Tokyo Kosoku Doro, it has remained exceptional until now.

 

I will return to the story of Ginza Matsunaga. When you open the door and enter inside, it turns around and is a clean and stylish space separated by wood grain-tone partitions under bright lighting. Because I'm close to the company, I go here regularly, but there are many options, as well as the hairdresser's promise cut, shampoo, shaving, and shoulder fir. Not only high technology, but also polite and friendly response is very comfortable and you can enjoy a blissful time. The photo is Mr. Ozawa, a stylist who always takes care of me.Matsunaga2.jpg

Ginza Matsunaga has been 47 years since it opened in Ginza in 1968, as the name suggests. Currently, there are 18 stores in addition to 3 stores in the Ginza area. It is a global barber shop that expands overseas and supports the lives of Japanese people who work hard in Germany and Vietnam.

The Yurakucho store is located in a convenient place to stop by on the way back from the silver bra, but this is also close to the office district and it is quite crowded in the evening, so it may be better to make a reservation in advance.
