It is the Hamarikyu Garden at the end of the year.

The park is closed from the end of the year and the beginning of the year, from December 29 to January 1.

The opening hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We were preparing to welcome New Year's visitors.

Every year on New Year's Day, an event suitable for the New Year is held in this garden.

Demonstration of hawk surgery, feathering and spinning at the fun square, commemorative photo at "Tsubame no Ochiya", garden guide, special guide of "Matsuno Ochiya", provision of matcha at Ochiya in Nakajima, etc.

All of them will be held on January 2nd and 3rd.

It is a venue where demonstrations of hawk surgery are performed.

It is a winter tradition, "Yukizuri".

Frost protection

As expected, there are few flowers during this season.

Japanese allspice

Squirrel

Camellia

Narcissus

The bright red fruit of Manryo

Some canola flower, which was protected by the net, was beginning to bloom.

I think I come here every time, but even if there is such a quiet and relaxing space in Chuo-ku, it is very close to Tokyo Bay.

 

 

From December 26 to 28 in the New Year, there was a year-old market around Yagenbori fudoson in Higashinihombashi. The year-on-ichi has continued since the Edo period, and it was once called the year-on-ichi that paid since Fukagawa Hachiman, Asakusa Kannon and Yushima Tenjin and ended in Yagenbori fudoson in December. Right next to it is Ryogoku Hirokoji Temple, which was one of the best places in Edo, and in the past it seems that stalls sold New Year's goods such as Hagoita and shime decorations, but now the location of the wholesale district and winter clothes are at a reasonable price.

　

　

　

There is also a monument of the old city in the precincts of fudoson.

　

There is also a monument commemorating the birth of the talk in the same place.

　

It is said that the talk originated from Tsuji Kosha at Ryogoku Hirokoji during the Edo period, and from such a connection, on the evening of the last day of the city on the evening of the last day of the city, many lecturers gathered at the memorial service of Zhang fans used in the talk. It was done in front of the monument. After homa was cooked and read, the participants wrote the wish on the fan-shaped paper and put them in the fire of homa for the best of next year.

　

Then, in front of the gate, under the name of Tsuji Kosha, the current lecturers showed the change of Honnoji Temple and a seat of Miyamoto Musashi.

　

It was cold because it was an outdoor event, but I bought alcohol and hot drinks at the stalls and enjoyed the warmth.

Now, the talk seems to be a boom, but it has a different taste from rakugo, and there are many things that deal with historical celebrities, so it is also a study. In Yagenbori fudoson, it seems that a meeting is held about once a month. Edo Nihonbashi-tei in Nihonbashi is located in a theater where you can easily go to Chuo-ku. From New Year's Day, he will have the first meeting of the Kodan Association. Why don't you visit the entertainment hall once because it is a traditional performing art originated in Chuo-ku?

 

 

　

Last week I saw the market in Tsukiji from the high floor of the building.

Two months after the market moved to Toyosu, I was watching the precious figure with regret.　

　

Looked at Tsukiji Inner Market from a building.　

It has been almost two months after Toyosu relocation, and just took a long look appreciating its precious appearance.　

　

 

 

New Year's Day 2019.　The Chinese zodiac sign is the wild boar, the Pig.　

In the Ginza Wako show window, you can see the energetic wild boar jumping.

　The wild boar in the big show window in the middle was too fine and couldn't be captured in the photo.

And with Mount Fuji in the middle, you can also enjoy the decorations of Ichifuji, Nitaka, and Misubi.

Please enjoy it in Ginza during the year-end and New Year holidays.

I hope that the New Year will be the best year for you. Silver

 

 

　On the morning of December 26, the streets of Ginza, which are at the forefront of world trends, were decorated with Christmas decorations and Kadomatsu for the New Year.

　　

　At the storefront of Tenshodo, a fine Kadomatsu was also displayed.　Cupid didn't have Santa's red hat.

　Inside the store of the Mitsukoshi Ginza store, I hope that the coming year will be a healthy year, Yai's "Chinowa Guru?" Is it?　I hope you have a healthy year.

Spend the New Year ahead of spring a little earlier. Pastel-colored clothes are also on display, and your heart will be excited.

　If you come to Ginza, you can stay warm.　I want to do something on the floor, have a delicious and warm meal, and enjoy silver bra.

 

 

"Heisei last ...", which I often hear at this time, is also a large-scale construction of the last bridge in Heisei. The construction of the Toyomi Bridge, which spans the Nihonbashi River between Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge. The repair and renovation of these three bridges at the same time is a sight that can only be seen now.

　

　

　

Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge are contrasting in the structure of the bridge, and their characteristics can be seen even if they are surrounded by temporary scaffolds.

　

　

Eitai Bridge against the backdrop of the Tokyo Sky Tree from Sumida River Ohashi taken several times at the same angle.

The photo shows from Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but from Sumida River Ohashi, you can see both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

The Sky Tree is the world's tallest radio tower, but it incorporates traditional Japanese techniques and crafts.

　

The architectural structure is an oscillation structure like five-storied pagoda, with a core pillar at the center of the building, and the surrounding area is joined by a triangular truss structure. It is said that this triangle does not need to be so fine in terms of strength, but it seems that the design is conscious of Edo Kiriko.

In addition, the exterior is not asymmetric centered on the pillar, but asymmetric with the motif of a Japanese sword.

　

　

By the way, the construction of Toyomi Bridge repairs, reinforces and raises the bridge. It is scheduled from the beginning of this year to the end of May next year, so it is a large scale that spans the next era from Heisei.
