Kachidokibashi and houseboat

[Mr.Chuo-ku] July 30, 2012 08:30

Kachidokibashi, the closest bridge to Tokyo Bay, is located in Chuo-ku, among the bridges spanning the Sumida River flowing through Tokyo Bay. This Kachidokibashi is built between Tsukiji and Kachidoki.

This time, I photographed a houseboat against the background of Kachidokibashi (taken from the Kachidoki side).

From this location, you can see the Tokyo Tower, the skyscrapers in Shiodome, and the Hamarikyu Garden. Photographs are often taken by tourists and those who like cameras. TV dramas and movies are sometimes filmed. There is also the promenade (Sumida River Terrace) along the Sumida River where you can walk and jog.

Missil came to Chuo-ku!

[Ryokichi] July 26, 2012 08:30

There is nothing other than a bench. The greenery of the undergrowth spreads, and the edge is covered by the embankment of the Sumida River as a soot-colored wall. On top of it. And the tower apartments on Tsukuda Island show its presence. New and old, nature and artifacts are mixed together, and the scenery like Chuo-ku. Don't you feel such an impression from the photo?

This is interesting because it feels fresh when it comes to video. The video of Mr. Children's HANABI (PV) starts from this park. And Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge also comes out. Missil was coming to Chuo-ku, didn't she?
Until then, I was worried about this park, so I visited again.

At the time of the visit, I sat on a bench like Missile Kazuhisa Sakurai. The open space is comfortable. Since the building is far away, there is little intimidation, so it seems to calm down. It was just before the rainy season was over, so the weather is a bit disappointing. But it felt like a good space for a little change of mind.

This park is on the side of the road along the Sumida River at Minato 2-chome. This area is an old city with a unique atmosphere left behind from development. There is a gunpowder Inari nearby.
However, there is a redevelopment plan, and this park is an ephemeral entity destiny that will eventually disappear. Will it be a big building like a tower apartment on the other side of the river?
If you are interested, please.

 

 

Tsukiji River Park July 2012 Thai Samboku, Kiwi, Apple

[Silver] July 24, 2012 08:30

When you enter Tsukiji River Park from the gas station behind the Ginza Capital Hotel New Building, white flowers bloom on the giant trees of Taisanboku (Taiyamagi) and emit a sweet and elegant scent.

There is a kiwi shelf in the immediate vicinity, where fruit is growing. (Photod at the time of flowering in May)

Cross the traffic light at St. Luke's College of Nursing and move to the south. There are more than 100 apple fruits.

How about the subject of observation and drawing by children? It is a valuable space where children can interact with nature. I would like to take care of it. Silver

[Sam] July 20, 2012 13:30

                                                            R0019251LS.JPG R0019286S.JPG     On July 16th, this year, friends from Churaumi came from Okinawa to the Ginza Sony Building.

An annual summer project in collaboration with Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium.

In the large aquarium of the outdoor event space, about 200 fish of 29 species born in the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium swim around, and feeding time from 11:30 to 12:00 & 16:00 to 16:30 is also popular. In the tropical fish aquarium at the entrance hall on the 1st floor, you can meet about 300 colorful creatures of 18 species living on coral reefs in Okinawa, and at the multi theater at the 8th floor OPUS Hall, whale sharks and nanyomanta appear in full-scale, and you can experience a powerful swim.

In addition, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, corals raised from eggs will be exhibited at the 8th floorOPUS foyer. You can meet the unknown species of coral and the wonders of ecology.

The exhibition will be held until September 9. On the 16th of the first day, a ceremony was held in front of the outdoor large tank prior to the opening.

In addition, "SonyAquarium" is working on further power saving by using a power storage system to "storage and use" power.

Tsukishima Kusa City

[ukiuki] July 19, 2012 13:30

ck1107_1207191.jpg
Enjoying Tsukishima in July this year as well.
The grass market was held on both days 14 and 15.


Nishinaka Shopping Street on Monja Street is known as Monja Street.
Stalls play the leading role not just today.


ck1107_1207192.jpgI opened a local bread and cake shop.
I bought the whole apple tart.

The classic shaved ice and the mix of blue apples and mangoes are also good. All sales will be donated to Great East Japan Earthquake's donation.

In front of the liquor store, there is a quoits tournament where you can get sake, tea, mirin, etc. Foreigners get three beers wonderfully! And he was applauded.


In the bright time of this grass market, I saw local elementary school students happily walking around.


It was an event that felt such a homely atmosphere that parents could send out, despite being busy, and the ease of stopping by.


 

 

 

Around the public bath in Chuo-ku④

[Satoken] July 17, 2012 08:30

It's been a long time. The wind on the way back from the public bath is comfortable. At a public bath to escape from the steamy heat

It's really nice to take a bath.


Today, I would like to introduce "Irifuneyu" in Irifune and "Asahiyu" in Tsukuda.

"Irifuneyu" is located in the building. Originally, it might have been a public bath in the same place.

The inside is very beautiful and looks like an oasis in the city.


Next is "Asahiyu". There were many locals who felt like a traditional public bath.

There was also a picture of the fixed Mount Fuji and a stand, and the scent of Showa was felt. It seems that this year is open all year round.

Why don't you go around the public bath during summer vacation?
