Recommended dentist "Nihonbashihamacho Area"

[Mikazuki] June 30, 2009 17:00

Isn't there a lot of people who are not good at hospitals? Actually, I'm not good at hospitals too.coldsweats02

I don't go until I feel the limits in myself, but among them, dentists were not good at it.

However, I recommend that I have a dentist who is so reliable that I can go through regular dental examinations after I have completed my treatment.

When a wisdom wisdom tooth sticks sideways and sometimes pushes the back teeth in front of you, there is a severe pain, and when I went to a different dentist before, I was told, `` If you do this way, you will not be able to escape unless you are hospitalized in a large hospital and cut it off '' I was scared, persuaded myself that it was still bearable pain and left it for several years.sad

In the meantime, I moved to Chuo-ku, but I felt a severe pain near the limit in that part, so I decided to go to a dentist, but going to a dentist I didn't know in a new town is quite courageous. Is that right? A few years earlier than me, my sister lives in this neighborhood, so I was introduced to a good dentist.

This is "Yotsuha Dental Clinic". Located between Hamacho Park and Meijiza, it is safe because a female teacher gives an easy-to-understand explanation before treatment to a clean and latest facility. Treatment is polite and appropriate, and there is a sign of only women. Neither sister nor myself was admitted to a large hospital, but this dentist successfully removed his wisdom teeth.delicious

In addition, I had you finish the tooth decay that I had been worried about for many years because I could see it well with the front teeth, and I felt the joy of cleaning my teeth as if I went to a beauty salon rather than a dentist. I've never experienced dental cleaning for regular inspections at other dentists, but it's very refreshing and comfortable.happy01

In addition to good treatment and a sense of security, the consultation hours on Monday and Tuesday are until 9pm, making it convenient for those who work. We recommend that you make a reservation by phone in advance!

Anaser Side, Chuo-ku (vol4: Fuji from Hara)

[ww] June 30, 2009 17:00

hiroshige.jpgNihonbashi painted by Hiroshige.
Behind the beautiful and dignified figure of Fuji. 

  ・Left: Yukiharu Nihonbashi, right: Suga Tefu (Surugacho)
  ・All quotes from Net Wikipedia

By boldly superimposing Japanese symbols on the symbol of Edo so far, splendid sensibility and deep feelings are conveyed.



On the other hand, from Nihonbashi today, you will not be able to see it unless you go up to a tall building, but there is actually a heart in the city that thinks about Fuji.

So there is also in Chuo-ku, such Fuji. I would like to introduce it.

 First of all, "World Yu Fuji".
This is Mount Fuji depicted on the wall of the bathroom of World Yu, a public bath in Ningyocho.
The beautiful figure between the blue sky and the sea is thought to be from the Kumomi coast of Nishiizu, and when you look at the bathtub as the sea, you feel like you are really in front of this sight.

shirayuki-fuji.jpg Next is "Snow Snow Fuji".
This is Mount Fuji depicted in Konishi Shuzo's building (Shiroyuki Building) on the shores of Kayaba Bridge. I guess it is named after "mountain is Fuji and sake is white snow".
The view from the vicinity of the Kakigaracho intersection is good, especially in this season, the black part that imitates the outline of the mountain shines golden in the sunlight from the east around 8:00 am, and the figure of Fuji looks like snow It looks like white snow.



minato-fuji.jpgThe last is "Tetsugun Fuji".
It is Fujizuka of Tepposu Inari Shrine.
It is located in the back right of shrine hall and is built to climb to the summit. The shrine placed on the summit reminds us of the furthest shrine of Asama Shrine on the summit of Mt. Fuji, and the people of the Edo period are impressed with their presence.

(The name of Fuji in the article is only a tentative name for posting, not a nominal name.)          (ww) 
 

 

 

11th Classical Performing Arts Appreciation June 20 (Sat)

[Mikazuki] June 30, 2009 17:00

From 6:00 pm on June 20 (Saturday), I saw a classical performing arts appreciation party at Nihonbashi Theater in Nihonbashi Kumin Center.

When I was young, my grandmother on both sides was playing geisha Waltz with the shamisen in the evening, and I think that it was not very good because one of the grandmother was accidentally stopped in the same place, but I didn't think it was very good, but I loved the pleasant sound of the shamisen.

As you walk along the path of Ningyocho, you can still hear the sound of the shamisen occasionally. When there is a performance of Meijiza, a shamisen shop in amazake Yokocho is playing. In such a case, I stop and listen to the sound of the shamisen.confident

I had always wanted to go to a shamisen concert, but I learned about the classical performing arts appreciation party with a poster in Chuo-ku and watched it for the first time. It took less than two hours, but I was impressed by the sounds and dances of my favorite shamisen, with lectures on culture and history of Edo, stories about Joruri Tokiwazu, dance Yamato Raku, Gitayu, and dance Kiyoharu. You can see performing arts in various fields at once, so it is recommended for beginners like yourself.

Those who perform or perform are members of the Chuo Ward, who follow the tradition from the Edo period, and perform wonderful arts once a year. There were also interesting stories such as "June 6, 6, is good to start performing arts," and "Kanetsugu Naoe's mansion is the current Metropolitan Police Department." And there are many kimonos who come to see them, and I am deeply moved to think that during the Edo period, I was watching the play of Edo Yoza around here. I'm looking forward to the next time.note

Do you know the "rikishi seal" that is popular in the streets?

[Satsuki Yanagi] June 30, 2009 17:00

"Rikishi seal" is a common name in the streets. downwardleftThe real thing is such a sticker (the place is affixed from the telephone box in front of cafeStarbucks along Eitai-dori St., just outside Kayabacho Station Subway Exit 3).

rikishi.jpg

It seems that the power is expanding not only in Chuo-ku, but also in Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku, Shinjuku-ku, Shibuya-ku, etc. recently, but I noticedflair two or three years ago ... .

I saw it quite often in Ginza and Nihonbashi neighborhoods.

And they choose a place that is sign02not so noticeable whether they want people to see it or just a mischief. For example, behind the phone in the telephone box as described above, behind the historical site display version, pillar of traffic sign, etc. ...

This is thedown back of the historical site explanation version in front of hotelHotel Villa Fontaine at Eitai-dori St., Shinkawa 1-chome intersection.)

rikishi2.jpg rikishi3.jpgWhat's more, rude but clear, it's a seal with two faces, "eerie" that I don't think it's cute or wonderful coldsweats02at all.

When, who, forsign02 what, and for me, I was wondering what ...eye

It seems that it has become a common topic in recent years.

pcWhen I searched variously on a personal computer, there were many people who were more interested than me, such as me, so sign03it was very easy to understand and detailed, so I put an address.

“Ginza Spy Research Office”: http://ameblo.jp/ginza-spy/theme5-10010258982.html#main

 “Tongariyama” ... http://tongariyama.kyo2.jp/c7661.html

It seems that the author of the "Rikishi Seal" has also been narrowed down. I look forward to the flairfuture.

 However, as a rule, it is a rule to match the convenience of the long-established store on that day, so there was a change on the day, but it was so fun and interesting that I thought it wasflair better, from the set of 11:00 to 14:30 Until the dissolution, I felt in no time.

I'll give you a brief report right away.pencil

In addition, since it is likely to be long, I would like to report it in several times ...

Also, when I visited, it would be rude to use a camera with a camera so flashy ... I brought only mobilephonemy mobile phone camerainstead of a digital camera, so it is quite difficult to see the image ... ... ...

Please understand (Note dangerOf course, when you take a picture on your mobile phone, you will be allowed to the shop).
