"Autumn Seven Herbs" appears at <Mikimoto Garden Plaza> in front of Ginza / Mikimoto Main Store (Ginza 4). (until August 30)

It makes me feel that the sign of autumn is approaching, even though the remaining heat is still severe.

Hagi, Obana, Kuzu, Fushiko, golden lace, Fujihakama, Kikyo ... It is said that it has been practiced since ancient times to stroll through the fields where autumn wild flowers bloom, look and love, and write tanka poetry and Haiku.

After "hydrangea" introduced on June 15th, "seasonal herbs (Western oval grass, purple kunko orchi, fuchikusa, bush licorice, nashiko, bellflower, princess stone grena) "Halen (American yellow lotus, green beauty, Oga lotus, heavenly flowers, fine bowls, white lotus, charming water cups, etc. "

 

　 　　

 

 

One of the common merchant houses (stores and houses) architectures from the Edo, Meiji, and Taisho eras to the Great Kanto Earthquake is called "Dashigeta-zukuri", in which the eaves protrude greatly to the front. There is. A mechanical structure in which a beam (armwood) protrudes out of the pillar, an outgirder is placed on it, and a rafter is placed on it to support the tiled roof is exposed.

It is said that the magnificent eaves with deep eaves became a functional decoration and showed the character of a merchant.

In addition, as seen in a wealthy large store, traditional merchant houses (Machiya) have been built on earthen walls to prevent fire.

Most of the Tsukuda Island area survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid and maintained the function of a fishery settlement until the 1950s.A small merchant architecture with a girder structure along with a boat pool called Tsukudabori And the alley to sew them remain. And Tsukudaniya continues to operate following the old stance. In the former Ishikawajima area across the moat, ultra-high-rise apartments tower overwhelm, but the contrast between the old and new is also interesting.

 

The building does not last forever, but the history of the building is the history of people's lives. There have been a lot of living there. It is said that a tree has a thousand years of life, but a long-lived wooden building feels the feelings and warmth of many people.

I didn't know that subway Nihombashi Station and Kayabacho Station were connected by underground passages.
Two years ago, when I walked from Nihombashi Station to Kayabacho Station, I went out to the ground on the way, and I thought that the underground passage was cut off.

When I got off to Kayabacho, it was a strong shower.
It's going to be soaked to walk to Nihombashi Station on the ground.
According to the underground guide map, it seems that the passage is cut off at Exit 11, so I decided to walk along the underground passage because I thought it would be better to avoid rain even before that exit.

When you come to Exit 11, there is an underground passage on the left side.
Display to Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line 6:00 to 23:00 In Arikabe, traffic hours are 6:00 to 23:00 Other than the above, notes that are closed.
The passage leads to the stairs, and the ceiling going forward while going down and climbing is rounded out such as pipes.

Arriving at Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line There is a ticket gate for Haneda.
Go down the stairs in front of the ticket gate

Here we proceed to the flat road on the right, divided into two hands, a staircase and a passage.

I was taken to the ticket gate (platform) of the Tozai Line.　
Go up to the ticket gate floor (B1) with the elevator just before.
I arrived next to Cored.
Today, I was able to go through the underground passage from Kayabacho to Nihombashi Station.
It takes 8 minutes.
The underground passage is connected.

●Check the way home from Nihombashi Station.
Why did you go to the ground two years ago?
Why wasn't it possible to pass through the passage that came today?
I searched for directions to Kayabacho Station on the underground passage at Nihombashi Station, but I couldn't find it.
For the time being, I will aim for Nihombashi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line.

There is an escalator in front of the Toei and ticket gates. I'll try it.
Only the exit of D3.D4 is on the top. I can't find an underground passage.
Two years ago, I was mistakenly riding this escalator

I'll go down the stairs near the ticket gate a little more.
Certainly, there is a guide to the ticket gate for Haneda.

It was good.
If you walk along this road, you can go back to Kayabacho.
This passage is very convenient.
It is useful when the weather is bad.

Even though the fall has passed, the remaining heat is still severe every day. Red-orange flowers look good in the sun like baking. These flowers are also in full bloom on the "Flower Terrace" in Harumi Triton.

Since I ordered a correspondent in Chuo-ku, I have come to carry a digital camera that I was not interested in before.
I would like to introduce three of my favorites recently.

May 8
It is Takeshiba Pier shining in the morning sun seen from Chuo-ku.

June 19: Tokyo Tower on the day of the soccer match with the Netherlands.
I couldn't take the picture clearly because the lights of the later building got in the way.

August 8th, the day after the fall.
It is a houseboat I found while walking along the Sumida River Terrace toward Chuo-ohashi Bridge.
The speed was relatively fast and I could only take one shot. It is the day after the fall (August 7).

Everything is more beautiful than the picture.

 

 

           

The fall has passed, and the calendar is early autumn. In "Hamarikyu Onshi Garden", "Kibana Cosmos", which decorates early autumn, is flowering. The "surface" (covered to the bottom) is still in the future with only the "surface" (the tip of the stem), but it is still enough to be watched.

A total of 150,000 trees are planted in Kibana Cosmos' "Sunset" and "Sunny Yellow", and a total of 150,000 cosmos (although the best time to see it is different), for a total of 300,000 trees. "Chocolate cosmos" with a chocolate-colored chocolate scent Because we did not plant this year. I'm sorry.

"Sunset" is a bright red (orange) variety that has been improved in Japan, and is a famous flower that won the gold prize in the United States.

"Sunny Yellow" has a slightly lower height and bright yellow color.

It is also fun to enjoy each petal with different colors, as well as the colonies.

 

The fly butterflies, the white butterflies, and the butterflies are also flying around the flower garden.
