A sunny holiday.

I went to Hamarikyu Garden, a place for relaxation in Chuo-ku.

Since it was lunch time, I decided to eat lunch.

The lunch box is from "Mud Takeshi" who has a shop at "Fankel Ginza Square", which used to be a rose garden for a limited time.

It was very healthy and delicious (I recommend it.)......、

   

Suddenly, a bird flew into the sea in front of me.

 

If you think you got into the water from your head, capture the fish vividly.

He has also begun to eat lunch. It's fresh fish, isn't it?

The Hamarikyu Garden has a lot of greenery, but I was surprised to see birds hunting in the city sea.

We humans can eat fresh fish at Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, near the Hamarikyu Garden.

 

 

 

 

 

The end of the public bath in Chuo-ku is nearing the end. There are four more places.

This time, we will introduce Kotobuki-yu in Tsukiji and Kachidoki-yu in Kachidoki.

Kotobukiyu is located in Tsukiji 6-chome, close to Ginza and Tsukiji Market, not only local people but also nearby.

I felt like some of the workers were coming.

 

Next is Kachidoki Yu. It is located underground in the apartment, and the entrance and front are rather than a public bath.

It looks like a spa, but the bathroom is a regular public bath except for the sauna and cold water bath.

I feel like it. The tiles have a decoration reminiscent of a ship window and are stylish. Temperature of bath

It was 41°C, but it was summer, so I felt hot.

Two more places are Minato-yu and Hinode-yu. Please enjoy visiting the public bath for summer memories.

Please.

 

 

August 11 was a fun day with the Reitaisai festival in Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine and the Fire Festival in Tokyo Bay.

I wanted to see it nearby without going to Harumi, so I saw it from the Sumida River Terrace, but the high rise of Kachidoki.

I was blocked by the apartment, and only half could be seen. I'm going to go to Harumi next year.

I did it.

 

 

The other day, I had the opportunity to have a person who lived in Tsukiji before the war show an old photo.

One of the most interesting things was "just after the end of the war" from the roof of "Navy Military Medical School (now Cancer Center)".
At that time, this building was requisitioned by the army and ordinary Japanese could not enter, so the photos at this angle seem to be very rare, but a soldier who happened to meet him said, `` I took a picture near your house. "

　The first one is a picture of Ginza on the left side of the rooftop.
The statue on the left end is a bronze statue of Arisugawa Shrine, which seems to be quite large.
The Tsukiji River has not yet been reclaimed, and at the bottom right is the Kitamon Bridge, which has now disappeared, and the bridge in the middle is the Saijo Bridge.
At present, there are many buildings ahead of it, including Jiji Tsushinsha, but in this photo, there are few tall buildings and there are places that are vacant, and instead of Showa-dori ahead, Ginza 4-chome You can look up to the "Wako Clock Tower" at the intersection!
It seems that there were quite a few buildings demolished in advance because this was "compulsory evacuation" in order to prevent the spread of fire, rather than burning in an air raid.

 The second one is the angle looking at Harumi-dori St. from the entrance of the current Tsukiji Social Education Center, and straight to the left to Ginza.
The river in the foreground was reclaimed afterwards, and the Tsukiji Social Education Center was built in that place.

It is said that "Tsukiji was spared from air raids because of St. Luke Hospital," but incendiary bombs aimed at Ginza seemed to fall considerably due to their aim and being washed away by the wind. "I can't forget that Schulsul and fire ran on this street," said the person who showed the photo.

It's been 67 years since the war ended.
Those who can talk about such things have become older, but I thought that we had to inherit the history of the city where we live.

 

 

 

 Before and after the rainy season on July 17, "Abrazemi" was issued in the Tokyo region on July 16 and "Minminzemi" and "First Declaration" on July 26, and the sunlight feels even more powerful. .

"Triton Summer Garden" is a small paradise of living things. A variety of birds and insects come together. butterfly bush, also known as "flowers calling butterflies," is the most popular source of butterflies at this time.

The butterflies visit the plants for intucking, searching for mating partners, and lay eggs.

In general, it is said that dense plants and larvae's eating plants are identified by seeds.

White butterflies prefer white and yellow flower colors, while swallowtail butterfly is said to prefer red flowers.

Flowers that are reddish purple and blue-purple with lots of small flowers tend to be preferred by any butterflies, andbutterfly bush (Fujitsugi family) ".

The casual scene of butterflies dancing in the flower garden is also softened.
