Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The fresh memories of last year's Great East Japan Earthquake are unlikely to disappear easily, but I have heard that local communities are gradually making progress toward recovery. I am just impressed by the tenacity and humanity of our people.

I'm ashamed because I can only participate in donations, but at least I would like to contribute to economic recovery by going on a trip to a hot spring in Tohoku or purchasing agricultural products from Tohoku.

Under such circumstances, "Green marche" is held every Saturday at [Tsukiji Smile Plaza] outside Tsukiji. Tohoku agricultural products are lined up in stalls to provide fresh taste.

This project is hosted by the NPO Tsukiji Food Town Development Council and is held every Saturday until May 26 of this year.
Please stop by when shopping at Tsukiji.

It usually starts at 8 in the morning. (From 9:00 on the 31st) 

Unfortunately, it was raining on Saturday 24th last week, but the stalls were cheering for cheerful calls. Everyone is really bright and strong. It is also fun to exchange words while watching and walking.

On the 31st of next week, the special event "B-class gourmet champion is coming", and the local gourmet "Fujinomiya Yakisoba" and "Atsugi Shirokoro Hormone", which are now popular among the people, will appear. 100 yen per dish can be used to support restoration, so you can experience "Eating delicious food and making a little contribution". If you like delicious food, why don't you come and visit us?

In addition, there is a permanent "green station" nearby, so please take a look at it. The banner is displayed in the store, and I feel that I can't beat the Tohoku soul.

 Make use of this product as a course for walking outside the Tsukiji area.

 

 

More Tohoku reconstruction support is based on food culture ... Tsukiji "Green marche"

 

 The scenery with flowers that change the expression every season will heal your heart and give new excitement every year.

I am deeply moved by this season, when plants and plants are sprouting all at once.

At the "Green Terrace" and "Flower Terrace" at Harumi Triton Square, plants began to bloom in response to the soft sunlight as if they were waiting for spring.

At first, pheasant's eye, which had bloomed on the ground, stretched its stems as it warmed, spread its wing-shaped leaves, and grew its plants.

There are a variety of pansies in the "Slope Garden" along the Asashio Canal.

In early spring, when the activity of insects is not yet active, yellow is noticeable in the grass flowers.

Yellow is a color that shines vividly. It makes you feel the warmth of the sun and softens your heart.

It had been covered with blue nets for a long time, but after a month from last year, canola flower finally bloomed.

In the plum garden, various kinds of plums bloomed and are close to full bloom.          

It's a horse-riding tree.

Many of the horsesick trees seen in Tokyo are tall to my chest, but there are many tall trees in Nara Park that look up.   

It seems that the leaves are poisonous, so they don't get insects.

It's a cute flower, so it's poisonous? ？ ？ ・... I can't believe it.

　　　　　

It's a small flower.

There are pink and white, but white is rarely seen.

But when I go to the side, I want to stop a little and stay.

It is one of the three major aromatic flowers.

　　　　　Summer...

　　On a sunny holiday afternoon, I had my father and son at Harumi Pier.

 

"Dad, great.

　　This ship is too big."

"It's a ship that connects all over the world. It's not half the size."

"From this deck, you throw paper tapes and see them off. I've seen it on TV."

 

"Dad, you can see the Rainbow Bridge on the other side."

Father, "It's a good view. The whole bridge can be seen clearly.

　　Let's walk over last year. I was scared when I looked down because this ship was so high that I could pass in time."

"I was not scared."

"That's right. You're strong.

　　You could see a glittering building in the north from the top of the bridge.

　　That's the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal."

"I remember it.　I saw it shining brightly."

Father: "The view is good, so it will be the best place to see for the Tokyo Minato matsuri in May and the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival in summer.

　　The night view will be beautiful."

 

"What is that high chimney?"

Father, "That's the chimney of the Central Incineration Plant.

　　Let's search on the internet.

　　The height of 177.5 meters is the second in Tokyo after the Toshima Incineration Plant.

　　The incineration capacity is 600 tons per day.

　　We are supplying the residual heat to "Hot Plaza Harumi."

 

　　Look into the face of the son who is not very interested.

My father, "I wonder if I can't get an image.

　　There is a free tour, so why don't you apply for it next time?"

"That's interesting."

My father: "It's a bit troublesome if you say it's fun.

　　You'll be surprised at the size of the fire, such as the fire running during incineration.

　　How is garbage from schools, homes, companies, etc. treated?

　　By knowing that, I think what you can see will be different."

 

　　It's been a while,

Father, "Dad looks at the situation after the earthquake.

　　I couldn't say anything.

　　I can't tell the screen of the TV.

　　That's why I was very happy that Tokyo moved quickly to the debris disposal.

　　It's a heart-breaking thing."

 

 

"Dad, the spring sea is calm."

My father, "The clear sea of spring."

　　・・The sea is connected to the world.

　　

 

 

 

While conscious of spring, I thought it was cold and cold, but when I crossed Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Kawazu cherry blossoms were blooming.

Japanese white-eye was only singing, but I was very satisfied with the cherry blossoms a little earlier. 　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　

Along the river from the square of Paris was a crocus field.

When it gets a little warmer, one side will be yellow, white and purple.

It was a time to feel spring even in a little cold wind.

 　　　　　　

 

 

When I say "tablet", I think that "tablets" still come up, are late for the times.

 

March 16 is the release date of the new "(not a tablet) tablet", and Ginza Chuo-dori is in such a state. Even in mid-March, the time is just after 7 o'clock, and the morning air is still cool.

　

 

 

Just at the intersection of Ginza Chuo-dori and Matsuya-dori, I just looked at the opposite side of Chuo-dori from the sidewalk on the Matsuya side. The procession naturally begins with the apple building in the photo on the left. A large number of press members also gathered. I took a picture on my way to work in the morning.

 

By the way, a tablet PC is a portable personal computer that has a flat-shaped outer shape and has a display / input part such as a touch panel type.

 

There is a feeling that it became a feature of Ginza early morning.
