The night view from Harumi Ohashi is exotic.

[kimitaku] January 31, 2018 18:00

At around 7:00 pm on a sunny day, go along Harumi Ohashi from the upstream direction toward Shintoyosu.

The night view of Toyosu is in front of you.

 Along with the green illuminations of the former Ishikawajima dog, the lights of skyscrapers are on the surface of the water.

It's very beautiful to reflect.

 The night view of the Sumida River is also wonderful.

 Every time you walk up the Harumi Ohashi Bridge, the light flashing on the surface of the water is about yourself.

It feels like turning around, and something is very exciting.

 

 

 Even on a sunny morning, the morning sun is a skyscraper, and it is reflected on the surface of the water. 

But it's dazzling like a prism.

Nihonbashi

[Gin Tangeron] January 30, 2018 18:00

For me, Nihonbashi is a sight with poor visibility through highways.

 

Goemon Ishikawa climbed to the mountain gate and shouted, "Is it a superb view?"

Hiroshige draws a view of Mount Fuji in the distance.

I was able to feel the good view.

At present, Nihonbashi couldn't feel the goodness of the past at all, and I was very sorry.

 

However, the removal of highways may be realized.

 

The old building reflected on the river surface

You can see a group of buildings without interruption.

I had my first dream of seeing a landscape with a view.

 

I want to see the lively scenery as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Snow in Ginza

[TAKK...] January 29, 2018 18:00

On January 22, there was a lot of snow in central Tokyo.

There are various adverse effects, such as disturbing transportation, but it is also true that it shows beautiful sights that are not usually seen.

02.jpg

There was snow in the city of Ginza.

The figures were sparse, and everyone seemed to be cold.

The flowers were also frozen.

If you came to sightseeing and happened to hit a snowy day, what did you think?

I can't choose the weather when I come to sightseeing.

I would like to tell you about the charm of the city according to various weather, such as rainy days on rainy days and hot days on hot days.

 

 

Why don't you take pictures around Nihonbashi on a snowy day?

[Shiba Inu] January 29, 2018 14:00


From the evening of January 22 to midnight, it was the first heavy snowfall in four years in Tokyo. On the 23rd of the following day, the snow makeup around Nihonbashi ended in a few hours, but on the day, many people were walking around with cameras in search of the city center where snow was falling at night.


So, I would like to introduce some safe photo spots that are recommended in such weather! In search of a place like Hasui Kawase's paintings.

First of all, it is around Yanagibashi at the northern end of Chuo-ku. Yanagibashi was a bustling place as a flower town until before the war, and still has an elegant impression and a boarding house.

It is often used as a location for dramas.



Next is Yagenbori Fudoson.

This is lit at night, so you can enjoy fantastic light along with the surrounding scenery.


And it's around Higashi Nihonbashi Station.

Even in front of the subway station in the city center, the lively feeling of life unique to the wholesale district is wonderful.



Of course, the Sumida River seen from Ryogoku Bridge is also full of mood. The ship passes through the snow on a regular basis.

Move to the center of Nihonbashi.

The center is quickly removed from snow to ensure safety. Even if you aim around the Mitsui Main Building, you can't get a sense of snow, so go back street.

The Bank of Japan had a beautiful snow left. No matter what angle you take, it's full of exotic atmosphere.



And this is the popular Fukutoku Inari Shrine.

Even in the early morning of the snow, worshiper never ceased.



This area is a spot where you can get interesting pictures safely even in bad weather. Nihonbashi has many ruins of digging, so there are many narrow and tasty back streets. There is a lot of snow left in such places and there is an atmosphere, but I don't recommend going alone on bad weather days....。

It's fun to walk to see the elaborate snowmans that each shop offers!



I came to Nihonbashi for sightseeing, but it snowed....I think there are some people who are disappointing, but it is wonderful that the scenery where the Edo atmosphere and the cutting edge of Tokyo are parallel with snow, so please come and see it.


 

 

Early-blooming "Yae Kanko"

[Sam] January 26, 2018 16:00

P1210125ELS''.jpgP1160104RS'G.jpg On January 19, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported "Plum Flowering", one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information. (Kitanomaru-koen Park)

7 days earlier than normal and 9 days later than last year.

The flowering of Bairin in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has not yet been heard, but on the side of the flower garden, the calm, dark pink early blooming "Yae Kanku" is at its best.

While many flower buds are still hard, it is a kind of "Noume" that begins to bloom in the cold season, and the middle ring of double-flowered.

The flower garden canola flower is covered with a net and is still curing, but its height has grown considerably, the yellow flower color has become conspicuous, and the landscape of the park has begun to be colored in spring-like colors.

The severe cold continues every day, but it makes me realize that spring is steadily approaching.

 

 

What is the origin of the pseudonym of Toya Kitamura from Sukiyabashi?

DSCN0619.jpg

I'm a graduate of Yasuaki Elementary School.

 

Toya Kitamura, a modern romantic literature, graduated in 1882. The stone monument in the photo is placed in front of the school gate. (You can see it from public roads)

 

Toruya's pen name is

 

Change the number of Sukiyabashi to "To" by reading aloud, and change the shop to "Tani".

There is a story that the sound was called "Koku".

 

Can you help me?

It's a true story.

 

There is Sukiyabashi right next to Yasuaki Elementary School. But ...

Why don't you take a look at your shopping in Ginza?...
