　Do you know a town magazine called "Ginza Hundred Points"?
As the name suggests, it is an information magazine of Ginza published by the store association "Hundred Stores Association", which has many long-established stores in Ginza.

It was first published in 1955, and it is the oldest town magazine in Japan to become No.735 this month. (Maybe)
The name of the town magazine is "Ginza 100 Points" instead of "Ginza 100 Stores" even though it is published by the Ginza 100 Store Association!

What is different from town magazines in other regions is that "Ginza Hundred Points" has a fixed price.
That's also a pretty price of 270 yen.

　The number of copies is about 100,000, and of course, like other free papers, it is located at the storefronts of stores that are members of the Hundred Store Association and can be obtained free of charge.

However, it is surprising that there are about 1,500 people who subscribe annually for a fee (4062 yen, including shipping costs). It is said that there are many readers from Hokkaido to Okinawa and overseas.

The content is based on the current information of Ginza, but it is enough to read as a booklet, with contents not found in other town magazines, such as essays by celebrities from various fields and round-table discussions with celebrities.

　What is the content of this month's issue?

It's more luxurious.

All participating stores are listed on the map, so it is convenient to walk around Ginza.

 

 

　Everyone who is looking forward to supporting and watching the Tokyo Marathon 2016

The upstream sidewalk of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is undergoing seismic work on the bridge, and the iron bridge from Minato 3-chome side to the bridge has been removed.

　

On February 24, we were just working on sending concrete with a pump truck.

　For support and watching on Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, please use the overpass that rises from the Akashicho side.

Just above, there is a stud at 36km point, but it is the upstream side where it cannot pass.

This point is a little slope, and it is the most difficult passing point for runners.

(Refer to the cat's blog on the slope, which was reported before.)

　

If you arrive on the upstream side by mistake, please see the "Tsukuda Island Ferry Monument" and use the pedestrian bridge on the downstream side.

I hope you will have a good support and watch the game.　Silver

※It is said that this construction will continue until March 31.　Please note that those who stroll around Tsukiji, Tsukuda, and Tsukishima.

　

 

 

"Chuo-ku community cycle" started on October 1, last year.◎

I needed to register at first, and I thought, "Oh, registration?", But it was easier than I expected.

It's super convenient and I'm using it (^^)♪

Handle, saddle, basket shape, presence or absence of mirror...It's a little different, so you can choose what you like.

You can also issue an IC card with 500 yen plus. Just hold it.

Even if you don't have it, you can enter the number issued online.

 

There are plenty of subways in Tokyo, but it is often faster to go from the ground if you change the line and get on one station. 。

In such a case, he responded exactly to the need for a bicycle rather than walking (` ・ ω ・ ')!

 

From February 1, wide-area experiments have been conducted in four wards of Chuo-ku, Minato-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Koto-ku, and it has become even more convenient because it can be returned anywhere.

The number of ports where bicycles are placed is 123 in total (as of the end of December 2015) in the four wards.

Immediately the other day, I borrowed it at a certain place in Minato-ku, completed it around Ginza 6-chome, and returned it to Takaramachi in Chuo-ku.

I really did it.☆

  

 

I think TYO is Chuo-ku, MNT is Minato-ku, and CYD is Chiyoda-ku.

It's electric.☆

 

If you go on the same journey by walking with the train, isn't there more walking? It was like that, but by bicycle, I was able to shorten the time. You can also see the streets.

 

You can also see some other ward and private bicycle parking lots, so when you park your bicycle in between, use these places and avoid unnecessarily parking.☆

It's also near the Mitsukoshi underground and near the station. The photo shows near Kyobashi on Showa-dori and near Higashi-Nihonbashi Station.

 

Locking alone will not be returned, so when returning it, "locking" at the port. → "Enter".

It seems that it detects the weak current coming out of the metal fittings that fix the tire and recognizes it as return.

 

From February 6 to February 10, the Safe Driving Campaign☆

It seems that there is a free distribution of helmets (limited quantity) at the Nihonbashi Information Center on the 1st basement floor of Coredo Muromachi for registered users.　← Distribution has ended due to favorable reception.

 

Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, Tsukishima, etc....

Enjoy the cityscape and sightseeing of Tokyo by bicycle♪

   

 

 

 　One Saturday morning.　When I was strolling around Ginza, I came to front of "TORIBA COFFEE" which was taught by a correspondent before.

In this shop, you can experience different coffee tastings every day for only 100 yen.

Just because there was enough time until the meeting time, I never thought in the store.

It has a high ceiling and a wonderful interior.

In the leaflet we received, the following six types were introduced.

Hwawiian Kona 100% pure Hawaii Cona, Jamaican Dub Mix Blue Mountain Blend, Simple Mind Blend Mild Blend, Hawaiian Bitter SweetSamba Hawaii Cona Blend, Deep House Mix deep blend, AcidHouse Mix shallow roast blend.

　

On this day, we received a coffee called Hawaiian Bitter Sweet Samba.

I thought Hawaiian Kona coffee was a little thin and unsatisfactory, but I thought

I received this coffee from the shop, saying, "I'm going to taste a little Brazilian coffee."

　

Soraya's middle and Japanese confectionery "Kokuiro" and Raysn Witch (RAISIN WICH) of Tomoe Ogawaken were given for 200 yen each.

Of course, we took it together.　

　

The interior of the store is quiet, JAZZ, reminiscent of a subtropical area full of greenery, and the mood is relaxed.

I also saw the images that were sown in the cohed seed nursery and grow.

　

The second floor is "ROASTING PLANT" which roasts coffee beans.

He told me that I could tour, but next time I would like to see the products in the store.

In addition to coffee beans and Milk Coffee Base, COFFEE CONTAINER, which stores coffee, and coffee manufacturers

Card UNOs and cards sent to St.Valentine's Day were also sold.

This time, I'm going to take all the coffee and tea ceremony.

Why don't you try to make it a meeting place when you have a little time in Ginza?

The place is Ginza 7-8-13, which is on the corner from Shiseido Parlour toward Toyo Iwaine.
