DSC08703ELS'.jpgDSC08706RS'G.jpg For eight days from February 15th to 22nd, FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5) has opened the 10th floor salon space "Royal Room" to the public and is holding "Early Spring Goddess Garden".

One of the winter garden events out of the "seasonal garden events" currently held eight times a year.

The theme this time is "From the Snow Queen to the Spring Fairy."

From the world of the Queen of Snow, the world of spring fairies in full bloom with Christmas rose, budding bulbs, pansies, and violas is produced and invited.

On the 15th, a music event for violinist TSUMUZI will be held twice from 113:30 to 215:00, and during the period, "gardening mini lessons" using bred violas and the unique Pansy viola of individual breeders will also be exhibited and sold.

The first day was the opening in the midst of light snow.

From 18:15 to 22:00, "Lovely Chocolat" is an image of a colorful combination of chocolate and expresses energy and pop.

From 22:00 to 24:00, one of the standard lighting "Nobori" is lit.

In addition to "CHOCOLATE CARNIVAL", "Special DJ events" are held at Tenbo Deck Floor 350.

Chocolate demand for this season, which is said to account for more than 10% of the annual consumption, is added to "honmei," "in-law," "friend," and "reverse." There seem to be a variety of "me" and "reward" chocolates for myself, but the marriage with alcohol such as "bitter chocolate x black beer", "citrus chocolate x sparkling wine", "ganash x red wine", "milk chocolate x Nigori sake" is also Otsu.

From Chuo-ohashi Bridge, you can see a colorful and unique shine reminiscent of Assorted Choco.

In December of last year, a "medicine monument" was installed on the sidewalk at 2-1 Nihonbashi Honmachi (near the entrance of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.).

When I visited the secretariat of the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Affairs Association, this monument was set up by the "5 Rotary Clubs in the Nihonbashi Area and the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association", and widely conveys the history of the drug wholesale district that originated in Nihonbashi during the Edo period to future generations. It was donated to Chuo-ku for the purpose of contributing to the administration of cultural properties in Chuo-ku. It was said that the design at the top of the monument was based on an illustration of the "Edo Famous Zoukai" published in the Edo period (Honmachi Pharmaceutical Shop).

Nihonbashi Honmachi is an area where drug wholesalers have gathered and developed since the Edo period, and many pharmaceutical companies are still gathering.

Here in Nihonbashi-Honmachi area, the god of medicine, Yaku ancestor patron, is enshrined in Fukutoku no Mori at Muromachi 2-chome, and you can visit in hope of sound health and other places. In addition, the Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. Headquarters Building A of the Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. in Honmachi 3-chome is home to the Daiichi Sankyo Medicine Museum, which is free of charge. Materials related to medicine are displayed and the effects of medicine are also learned through games and quizzes.

If you are interested, why don't you visit this area once when you walk around Nihonbashi?

 

 

At the base of Kameshima Bridge

[Satoken] February 16, 2019 18:00

Kameshima Bridge is a bit plain among many bridges in the city, but there are some highlights.

On the other side of the "Horibe Yasubei Takeyuki Monument", "Ginza Yanagi Shisei", "Basho's Monument", and "Sharaku Toshusai" and "Tadataka Ino" are described as "people who have moved to this area (Hatchobori) and have been able to convey their achievements". There is an explanation of. It's a pity that stone monument's wooden explanatory version is barely readable. There are many highlights that are not found in the Monoshiri Encyclopedia, and it is interesting to walk in search of such places.
