It seems that the power is expanding not only in Chuo-ku, but also in Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku, Shinjuku-ku, Shibuya-ku, etc. recently, but I noticedflair two or three years ago ... .

I saw it quite often in Ginza and Nihonbashi neighborhoods.

And they choose a place that is sign02not so noticeable whether they want people to see it or just a mischief. For example, behind the phone in the telephone box as described above, behind the historical site display version, pillar of traffic sign, etc. ...

This is thedown back of the historical site explanation version in front of hotelHotel Villa Fontaine at Eitai-dori St., Shinkawa 1-chome intersection.)

When, who, forsign02 what, and for me, I was wondering what ...eye

It seems that it has become a common topic in recent years.

pcWhen I searched variously on a personal computer, there were many people who were more interested than me, such as me, so sign03it was very easy to understand and detailed, so I put an address.

Goodbye Kabukiza Theater

For those who have never seen the real thing yet.
"Ginza's proud representative landmark, a nationally registered cultural property of Showa.
It's worth a look."flair

Who is tired of it?

The classical performing arts, Kabuki Hall of Fame, and Kabukiza, will close in about 11 months, and will start dismantling and remodeling work.
In this building, the famous actors of Showa and Heisei were applauded on the flower path and turned around, attracting the audience again.
 With this rebuilding, the design is new, and the exterior seems to be simple and novel designing in anticipation of the advanced use of the surrounding area.

Many fans who have been accustomed to the removal of the formal appearance of the Momoyama style, which features a gable roof, have been spared for many years.
However, the city always demands a building suitable for that era. And with that energy, the city will continue to regenerate for the future.
The Kabukiza Theater as a building has fully fulfilled its mission.
Let's leave the future development of this area to the new theater.
 
A year later, even if you visit here again, the building will be covered with soundproof boards for demolition.
You will not show him.
