A base for local travel in the city center. An interesting hostel in Bakurocho, a wholesale district!

[Shiba Inu] February 27, 2017 09:00


Recently, there has been a series of fashionable hostels that can be easily used in the "super city center" area around Tokyo Station. The feature of these hostels is that they are made with a focus on mobility for those who want to experience the city from morning to night, or from night to morning. What I want is not a luxury, but a cozyness and freshness of information! It's very popular with tourists.

The pioneer of this trend was in the wholesale district, Bakurocho! "IRORI" opened at the end of 2015.

It is a large guest house built by renovating a 40-year-old building and can accommodate about 70 people. It starts at 2800 yen per night! The management body is R.Project Co., Ltd., which has launched a number of projects to rediscover the charms of various parts of Japan. Mr. Dai Tamesue, a medalist, is also a member of the board.

There is a reception and a cafe on the first floor. There is a real Irori in the entrance space! They are going to bake fish here in the morning and evening. Furniture and interiors have local products from various places, and have plenty of seasonal feeling.

This cafe and lounge is also available to ordinary guests who are not staying. Every day, popular shops from all over the country go on business trips to provide delicious food and drink. The price is also affordable! The coffee is carefully brewed over time every cup, and it is very delicious.


DSC_8519.jpg
And the very recommended reason for general use of IRORI's cafe is that there are a lot of free papers and tourist maps!

There are many information magazines, although useful contents are covered not only for tourists but also for neighbors. You can enjoy it just by reading them while drinking coffee at the end of Irori. There are people who send this much maniac information and live information of Chuo-ku....I'm also surprised at that.

It is also a place where you can feel the local culture other than Tokyo.

Please go to "IRORI", where many "people who want to taste Tokyo" come and go regardless of age, gender, regardless of nationality, come and go. Please visit this website for information on the day's cafe menu and accommodation information!



 

 

Popular Italian from Tsukiji ★Paradizo

[Mapo ★] February 25, 2017 14:00

A popular Italian restaurant in Tsukiji, located in a corner outside Tsukiji Market!
When I called around 11 o'clock to make a reservation from 12:30.
It seems that today's reservation has been completed, and it will be put in the shop if they are arranged.
When I went to the shop around 12:30, I found myself on the paper on the outside.
A considerable number of names were written.

I'll write your phone number.
I think you can call me when I'm called.
The people who were there were more priority.
After all, I had to wait in front of the store. 。 。

 
And it was half past 1:30 to enter the shop!
You can choose from 4 types of pasta for lunch menu.
I ordered Kintoki and Agu sauce spaghetti.
There is also a volumey salad, so 980 yen is a great deal!

Spaghetti was also rich and delicious (*^^*)

The sweets of Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel were wonderful.

[kimitaku] February 22, 2017 12:00

Saturday, February 18th, at Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel

The 9th Chuo-ku Tourism Association Tourism Certification Test was held.

  

A lot of people went to the test site with a sense of tension.

 

I couldn't sleep well the day before, and I went to the test site.

When you head to the entrance

The smiles of the tourist association staff were very nice.

Surrounded by a smile, he relaxed my tension.

 

Stay calm and go upstairs and take a break.

 Will it be displayed at the wedding reception?

 I thought that the customers who receive this candy would be able to immerse themselves in a very happy feeling.

"The meat Takasago,"

[CAM] February 22, 2017 09:00

 Go up Tsukishima Station on the Metro Yurakucho Line and Toei Oedo Line, and there is a store called "Meat Takasago" in the direction of Aioi Bridge on Kiyosumi-dori, making it a famous meat shop known to those who know it.

 

 The photo was taken on New Year's Eve last year, but I was a little surprised that the procession was running from the store to Aioi Bridge.

 They include grilled pork, Yamagata Japanese black beef, Kakuni, roast beef, beef motsu stew, beef sushi curry, and Japanese black beef beef tongue.

 

 

 

NISSAN CROSSING at Ginza Place

[Silver] February 21, 2017 18:00

It has been 5 months since Ginza Place opened on September 24, 2016 (Saturday). 

I reported that I went to the underground beer hall, but I didn't go because the ground floor was crowded all the time.

 

Today, when viewed from the intersection of Ginza 4-chome on Ginza Street, it seems vacant, so I went out vigorously saying, "Yosha, go to buy a car!"

When you go up to the 2nd floor, there are two new cars. The future car, which was conscious of 2020, was super cool. I didn't ask the price for it because it's wild.

Looking at the cars and car accessories on display, I was tired, so I sat on a leather seat and saw the Wako clock tower.

 I liked it a little, but the next time I came back to shop, I found a Cafe on my left hand.

Then, when I thought I would drink a little coffee and go home, I was told that I could roast coffee with the design of Nissan cars.

Cookies also look delicious at an affordable price of ¥300 per piece!

 

The coffee I ordered right away, Maki Art, is a coffee made with beans from South America, which is well balanced with milk.

It was a work of art that was regrettable to drink and break the shape. I love NISSAN CROSSING.
