The theme of Christmas at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store in 2009 is "eco Christmas".

The main building hall is decorated with a height of 15m and one of the largest Christmas trees in Japan.

Using green power, not using real wood, 25,000 illuminations use LED bulbs with low power consumption.

This is the "Mitsukoshi Christmas" site: http://www.mitsukoshi.co.jp/store/1010/christmas/

"The statue of the heavenly woman"

It shines in the light of the ceiling of a large dome.

 

It is also posted on the illumination information of the tourist association blog (you can also see the pattern at that time on Miss Chuo's blog who participated in the lighting ceremony)

Also, before the entrance of the new building, a Christmas tree with beautiful light of "Shizuku", which was also published in Mitsukoshi's secret part2, which was previously mentioned, welcomes us!

December 25 (December 25) It is decorated with gold.

In the Nihonbashi area, the "ECOEDO Nihonbashi Green Project" is also being held.

Companies, department stores, and shops in Nihonbashi are actively engaged in "ECO."

There are only a few more days, but I hope many people can enjoy it together!

Speaking of Chuo-ku, it is the center of industry, commerce and culture, but in fact, relax and enjoy nature.

You can also enjoy it. The photo was taken the other day at the Paris Square at the tip of Tsukuda Island.

Various kinds of wild birds such as ducks, cormorants, and herons were seen as well as turtles.

Bird watching sessions are also held twice a year, and the Wild Bird Society of Japan runs from Kachidoki to Tsukuda.

I will guide you along the Sumida River. Observation with a special camera for bird shooting

You can see the wild birds clearly from a distance.

Also, it is very difficult for amateurs to explain the names and ecology of birds in an easy-to-understand manner.

Thank you very much. We will inform you on this blog as soon as we know the schedule of the next observation session.

It's cold every day, but everyone should take a walk along the river. Fly around freely

You will be able to forget the cold in the wild birds.

 

 

 

Harumi is the gateway to the sea in Chuo-ku.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the completion of the land reclamation in 1929.

Initially, it was called "Tsukishima No. 4", and although it was scheduled to be a pre-war World Exposition venue, it was canceled due to the war.

 

 At present, new urban development is progressing through waterfront redevelopment.

The bustle of the day is good, but the night view is also attractive.

Why don't you take the "Chuo-ku Community Bus" (Edo Bus) and visit Harumi?

 

 

 

 

December The city of Tokyo began in late autumn. I'm changing my dress to early winter.

The trees in the park in Chuo-ku are completely colored, and they play seasonal songs vividly to give a sense of rhythm to the cold air in the morning.

Passing in front of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, the large ginkgo trees swayed gently and spread the branches to wrap around the various memories of the past year.

I can't enter without praying that next year will be a good year.

 

 

Here and there in Chuo-ku, you can see impressive autumn leaves and yellow leaves. It would be nice if you could relax in your heart even during busy hours.
