Gumclean festive~ the sidewalk of Ginza Street~

[Tokyo Dumbo] May 21, 2018 18:00

 The sidewalk of Ginza Street is clean every time you go. It is said that the Ginza Street Federation entrusts a specialized contractor twice in the morning and afternoon on the 364th, excluding New Year's Day, picking up trash on sidewalks, flower beds and tree-planting zones, uncollected cardboard, traffic lights, street lights, etc. It seems that if there is a flyer or leaflet stuck on the pole, it is collected together.

 

One morning, when I was walking along Ginza Street, there was a group working with unfamiliar machines, so I heard about it.

It is said that the gum on the sidewalk has been removed by a water jet on behalf of the Ginza Street Federation.

The black thing that came with Pochi Pochi is peeled off beautifully.

 

The machine you use is called Gumclean, which seems to be the machine that HONDA makes.

It means that the members of the Ginza Street Federation are always working hard to protect beautiful and fun Ginza. Ginza will not be possible in one day.

 This is the logo mark of the Ginza Street Federation.

The design is based on eight weights used in the silver castinghouse during the Edo period, after Ginza 8.

Motorcycle parking situation in Chuo-ku

[Yo-chan] May 17, 2018 18:00

In Chuo-ku, you can see private parking observers who often crack down on parking violations being checked for abandoned vehicles. In the case of motorcycles, a fine of 7,000 yen (2 points) will be collected at parking prohibited places and 6,000 yen (1 point) will be collected at parking prohibited places. If you park for a long time, it will become an abandoned vehicle, and it will be powered up to 10,000 yen (3 points) and 9,000 yen (2 points), respectively. Then, what is the parking lot situation for motorcycles in Chuo-ku? First, let's take a look at the paid parking lot managed by the ward. There are three ward-operated parking lots (except for regular rental only). ①Ginza Underground Parking Lot (Ginza 7-17-12, Chuo Ichiba-dori underground) 2 Kyobashi Plaza Parking Lot (Ginza 1-25-3, Kyobashi Plaza Underground) 3 Hamacho Park Underground Parking Lot (Nihonbashihamacho 2-chome No. 59-4, Hamacho Playground basement). The parking fee is 100 yen / 1 hour, 1000 yen for more than 9 hours, fixed amount, 300-400 yen / 1 night.

Motorcycles can also use parking meters and parking tickets that can be parked on the street. Is there a parking lot that can be used for free? There are few in Nihonbashi, Ginza, Tsukiji and Ningyocho districts. Many of the districts are designated as bicycle-free areas, and parks are also designated as municipal bicycle parking lots, and bicycles are parked with permission to use, so you can park motorcycles in parks etc. You can say that you can not. However, there are places where you can park for the purpose of using the facilities in the area. It is a parking lot for motorcycles for Chuo-ku government office or Kyobashi library users, and a parking lot for sports center users at Hamacho Park. You need to be careful because parking will be done within the usage time.

In the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas, parking conditions are considerably looser than the above. Reimeibashi Park has a bicycle parking lot, but there is a sign that motorcycle parking is prohibited. At Harumi Rinkai Park, there is a bicycle parking lot at the entrance of the Hometown Harumi Archives. There is a free parking lot at Shin-Tsukishima Park, but there is a sign that parking is prohibited except for users. There is a free parking lot for users at Hot Plaza Harumi. In addition, there is a place in Triton Square where you can park your bike near Harugetsu Bridge. As mentioned above, there are various restrictions on parking motorcycles in Chuo-ku and there are difficult places. Let's try to use the parking lot according to the purpose so that you do not cut off the foul kick. It was the best season for motorcycles that cut the wind in the fresh green. I think Chuo-ku is also fun to go around by motorcycle. Let's enjoy events and seasons with caution for safe driving.

                                                   

 

 

Shoes are revived [Shoes specializing in Ginza Tsukiji store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 12, 2018 14:00

I rubbed my favorite brown shoes toe, the so-called "burning finish" part, and I was worried that the color was falling.

So I went to the shoe specialist

kutusenk201801.JPG

It is a shop that repairs shoes at Tsukiji 2-chome.

It's close to Exit 4 of Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Subway Line, just off Shin-ohashi-dori St.

It's the red spot on the map below.

Here you can repair shoes, adjust the size, clean the bag, clean the clothes, clean the clothes, and clean the shoes.

This is the one who left my shoes and came back.

kutusenk201805.JPG

It's a wonderful finish.

Thank you

The staff of the shop was comfortable, the explanation was polite, and I was able to leave it with confidence.

In the future, I would like to use it more easily.

The shop is open from 10:00 to 19:00 and closed on Sunday.

In addition to this Ginza Tsukiji store, there are three stores (Suitengu-mae store, Tsukishima store, Hatchobori store) in Chuo-ku.

[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #20: Washroom for Infants (Nihonbashi Sanzen Echizen)

[Dye] May 3, 2018 09:00

It's a good season with the day of going out.

    

I want my children to have a lot of fun experiences, but when I think about breastfeeding and restrooms on the go, my waist may become heavy....(^^;)
However, Chuo-ku has a nursing room somewhere, such as department stores, and I think it is a city that is friendly to children.

    

Chibi in my home has become a little older brother, so I haven't taken care of the nursing room, but there is a new problem....

   

It's a toilet.

   

Because the infant is small, I can't sit in the adult toilet.
It's hard because I don't have enough feet....(´・ω・`)

   

If I thought it was, I found such a restroom in the underground passage in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi! ! !

     

It's a washroom for infants! !

A cute small size ^^

Mr. Chibi can wash his hands easily.

     

It is difficult to explain the location, but when you exit the ticket gate of Tokyo Metro "Mitsukoshi-mae", the underground passage spreads out, and it is on the way to JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station.
It's in front of the underground entrance of "YUITO".

If you don't have such a type depending on your child, please refer to it.☆
