A European travel specialty store is in Ginza!

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 25, 2017 14:00

I heard that a travel agency specializing in Western Europe opened in Ginza 4-chome, so I went there immediately.

This is the grand opening of "H.I.S. Ginza Western Specialty Store" in the H.I.S. Ginza Main Store on May 8th.

I have a plan to travel to South Italy next year, so I'm a little quick, but I asked you what kind of plan I would suggest.

his03.JPG

The concept of the shop is "Travel to Create" (), and it seems that 10 full-time staff members who are familiar with Western Europe, such as those who have lived in Western Europe, those who have traveled more than 20 times, and those who have studied abroad, are assigned.

To the person in charge, `` South Italy, where I want to go is Naples, Pompei, Amalfi, Sorrento, Blue Cave, Alberlobello, Sicily '' unilaterally said where I wanted to go, and in a 9-day journey, I had you look for the best tour.

I was impressed by the amount of knowledge and ability of the person in charge.

his05.JPG

For European travel lovers, it's a long-awaited best store.

By the way, I made a reservation for the trip that I had planned next year earlier this fall.

In addition, we received your consent for photography at the store.

Thank you very much

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Apply for a half-wearing rental of the Neighborhood Association.

I was getting a little festive feeling.

If you do so, you can see the state of the city becoming "festival specifications".

Sunday, May 7 A week before Kanda festival.

DSC_1097-1.jpg

On the street is a yellow flag with the word "Honsai Kanda festival."

DSC_1098-1.jpg

The banner of "Kanda Myojin Festival" is also at Ohiro Shrine in the town.

DSC_1096-1.jpg

I feel that the names of the donors have also increased.


May 9 (Tuesday). If you were walking around Ningyocho for errands.

DSC_1100-1.jpg

・・'All the World Flag!

But that's also a lively atmosphere.


And finally, May 12th (Fri).

The next day is the day when the festival procession "Shinko Festival" is also held.

Hamacho Park, which always brings her daughter Azuki.

DSC_1108-1.jpg

It is decorated by the neighborhood association next door.

And...

DSC_1111-1.jpg

I've borrowed my daughter Azuki's half-wearing and obi!

The size (including 90 cm) is also supposed to be written at the time of application.

The size is also perfect.

And they were distributed to all the children

A guard tag lowered from your neck.

It's a bit nice to have this.

This is the perfect preparation for the next day! That's right.


That's right. Speaking of preparation.

This is the most useful thing to enjoy the first Kanda festival.

This is the free paper "Nihonbashi Goyomi".

IMG_2694-1.jpg

The May issue is a special feature of Kanda festival.

Explanation of terms and descriptions that can be understood by people for the first time.

The state of the previous festival

And the route of the festival procession

A map with the approximate scheduled passage time was also posted.

It was very easy to see and understand!

If you have this, how long and where to go?

It's easy to set up a schedule.

As a matter of fact, my husband grew up in an area that has nothing to do with festivals.

I couldn't imagine the festival at all.

So, in this special feature, "It's such a great thing!"

I was surprised at the scale and glamorousness.

http://www.nihonbashi-tokyo.jp/enjoy/feature/201705/


"Nihonbashi Goyomi" has many interesting articles every month other than Kanda festival.

 It's a good reading.

 And the publisher "Machi Nihonbashi" site is also recommended with plenty of information.

Chuo-ku Ground Information System

[Tokyo Dumbo] May 17, 2017 09:00

In Chuo-ku, we release Chuo-ku ground information system from April 1, 2017.

System. jpg

 http://jiban.city.chuo.lg.jp/chuojiban/useful.html

 
The Chuo-ku Ground Information System is a compilation of information on the ground (boring survey) in Chuo-ku on a map, which can be used as a reference material to grasp the ground conditions of homes and companies, and is a Tokyo that loves civil engineering, architecture, and development. It is a very fun system for Dumbo.

 

You can select the location you want to check on the map.

 

Map png

  

On the map page, the point where the boring data is located is shown in blue circles, and when selected, it turns to red circles, showing multiple data at that point.

 

Pop-up 2.png

 

If you select one of them, you will see the column diagram data of boring.

 

Popup. png

 

The data shown here is the data of Chuo-ku government office, which has a rebuilding plan. It seems that the N value of 50 or more suitable for the support layer is deeper than 17m, and it is necessary to drive the pile to the support layer more than the pile diameter, so a pile length close to 20m will be required.

 

Capture. JPG

  

 

On the map page, in addition to calculating distance and area and searching for addresses, you can overlap land condition maps and altitude maps by color, and change them to aerial photographs.

  

Aerial photograph. png

  

This is a land condition map, and the part shown in yellow is a natural embankment, the pink is a landfill, and Chuo-ku corresponds to the area and landfill that was called Edo Maejima before the Edo period.

Why don't you check the ground information of places related to yourself?

 

 

 

Arashio's room and all the cats

[Nyan,] May 16, 2017 16:00

A long time ago, there was a battle to divide the world between mushrooms and bamboo shoots ... but what is less than that is "dog schools" or "cat schools"? .

 

As a dog school, I feel that cats are bad recently, but the other day, I heard that there was an event of "Nihonbashi cat large gathering" and visited enemy sentiment (?) I've been there.

 

By the way, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store. A powerful lineup of cats in the whole building and cat goods from each region!

I'm afraid of it. In general, Mr. Mitsukoshi's lion statue is a cat family.

magokoro.JPG

 

In the central hall on the 1st floor of the main building where the statue of the heavenly woman stands, there is a ghost of a beckoning cat! It seems that this is a cat's "Kadodon". The destructive power of Saigo Donmo.

kabedon.JPG

Don't be fooled by a smile! The left ear is not a fool at the point of twisting headband.P5030051.JPG

By the way, the wrestlers in the Arashio room in Chuo-ku added flowers to this "cat sushi". Somehow, it is a connection between a cat who lives in the Arashio room, "Mine and Mugi". Isn't it coincidence?

 

The ace of the Arashio room is Sokokurai Seki. There's a graciousness. I have an aura. Standing when sitting, it is not big, but the tallest evidence that the legs are long. It is not a "other closer than a distant relative", but a "blue country closer than a distant rare village". I have no choice but to support this.

sumo.JPG

Come on, please! (I also wanted you to take a picture.)

 

Speaking of Arashio's room, it is also famous for foreigners to visit the morning geiko, which is "morning practice". But I've always wondered why foreigners know when they are practicing, but one day, when Germany gave directions to the tour, I imitated a TV program. "Why are you going to the Arashio room?" (How did you get to know morning practice?」 He said, "I told you at the front desk of the hotel." Oh, that's the case. There are many sumo rooms, but the window frame is large and there are few rooms that are free to visit. This is also a kind of attraction. I recommend the Arashio room in Chuo-ku.

arasio.JPG

 

By the way, local cat goods in each area sold at many antenna shops in Chuo-ku include very popular cat-type ingredients (Kanagawa's popular cat-type donut, Fukushima baked confectionery, Shimanekko, Nagasaki Nyagasaki Cat, etc.). While a cute cat doesn't know? When it is gone (in this case, it was delicious and I just ate it), we recommend visiting Sanko Inari Shrine. When you lose sight of a cat, if you ask for it, it is said that there is a spiritual test. (Sanko Inari in Ningyocho)

This time, I was kept pushed by the power of the cat, but I will not lose next time.

 

 

Series: 1 year old, first Kanda festival! ①How do you participate?

[Edamame] May 16, 2017 09:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I also talked a little bit about the program of Chuo FM that I visited the other day.

http://fm840.jp/blog/hello/2017/05/08/22187

I actually lived near Yushima Tenjin when I was little.

So at the festival in patron saint of academics

I was pulling the floats of the neighborhood association in a yukata.

You can hit the drums of floats or walk with your friends.

It's a nostalgic and fun memory.

・・Time flows ...

What did our family move about a year ago?

The area of Hamasan Eastern Town Association, the shrine parishioner of Kanda Myojin.

And this year is the main festival of Kanda Myojin.

It's a very grand festival once every two years.

Because I moved to this area

I want my daughter Azuki to experience the festival properly!

That was the secret hope of my mother, Edamame.

But when I was little, how do I participate?

I didn't know the part of "how" because it was a round throw to my parents.

I found a festival poster on the bulletin board.

DSC_1129-1.jpg

What should I do? Where should I ask? And

He was spending his time with a haze.

(... maybe you like this, too

Isn't there a lot in this area? ? I think so.

That's why I decided to write this article.

Hamacho area, condominium construction rush with great momentum recently.

There are a lot of new residents like me.

Then one day in late April.

There's such a letter on the bulletin board of the apartment.

IMG_2564-1.jpg

About the application for the neighborhood association's half coat.

When participating in the portable shrine, Children's portable shrine and Floats of Hamasan Eastern Town Association

You need to apply in advance.

For adults, 500 yen per sheet. In addition, it is a rule to prepare tabi.

Children are free of charge. Shoes are also free!

This year's application deadline was until April 26.

However, even though she is two years old, she is still a little girl.

As a matter of fact, I wonder if you can pull the floats ... If you are worried

It was the deadline for application.

I asked the condominium manager about the procedure in a hurry.

"I wish you could write your name in the application column below the posted notice."

It is a system that organizes in a condominium and submits it to the Neighborhood Association.

・・・ Nobody wrote the name as of the day before the day before.

Perhaps they had all pulled in their hands?

It's important to listen with courage.



I tend to overlook it

In the case of condominium residents, the condominium management association should join the neighborhood association.

You should always get information on the bulletin board.

After mid-April (if not, you should check it).

Never see the bulletin board of the apartment! Let's keep it as a secret word.

That's why Azuki (1-year-old child) applied for it barely slipped.

Kanda festival, this is the first time to participate!

~ Continue~


※I think that there are places where the procedure differs depending on the neighborhood association and the apartment where you live.

Please confirm with each neighborhood association and manager of apartment, management union.
