Tokyo Waterside Cruise: Wish for Reconstruction by People 90 Years ago

[The cat on the slope] March 28, 2011 08:45

I used a ticket for the Tokyo Waterfront Line in raffle at Riverside Autumn Festa, which was introduced in a blog post last September. Actually, I thought after waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom, but due to the expiration date, it was a little earlier.

 

We chose the "Ryogoku-Odaiba Cruise" course. Boarding from Ecchu Island in front of St. Luke's Garden → Hamarikyu → Odaiba Kaihinkoen → Hamarikyu → In front of St. Luke's Garden → Etchujima → Both countries → Sakurabashi → I'm going around with both countries.

There are many other courses, and there are temporary boats depending on the season. For more information, please visit the Tokyo Waterfront Line website.

Take a leisurely on a warm boat to Odaiba. Relaxed seats are comfortable and seem to sleep unintentionally. On the way back, I went to the deck on board with the cold to take a picture.

You know Rainbow Bridge. The distance between the two main towers on the left and right supporting the bridge is 11 mm wider at the top than at the base, but it seems that this is because the earth is round. I feel the size of the scale.

As you go upstream to Kachidokibashi, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, and the sky tree gradually becomes larger.

(Lower) In Sakurabashi, it's so close.

On the way, I went under a lot of bridges. Of these, Komagata Bridge, Kuramae Bridge, and Umaya Bridge were constructed as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake. During this time, many other bridges were built on the Sumida River. About two weeks from Great East Japan Earthquake. It is difficult to get on the road to reconstruction, but when I learned that people 90 years ago built several bridges after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I looked up at the sky tree towering over the blue sky while remembering the song `` Bridge over tomorrow '' I was

 

 

Facial esthetics at the Ginza Salon in Siebon♪

[Mapo ★] March 23, 2011 08:30

When I lived in Osaka, I went to beauty salons.
Even in Tokyo, we are trying to find a beauty salon where we can get together for a long time.
First of all, I tried it, so I'm glad I went there since October 2008.

 

I heard and knew the name of Siebon cosmetics. There are many stores all over the country.
Nearby, it is at the next station, Kokubunji, and there are two in Tachikawa next door.

 

It was just when I started to get into Ginza, so I went to the Ginza store anyway.

 

Ginza Salon is located on the 4.5th floor of the round building (San-Ai) at the intersection of 4-chome.
 

The inside is beautiful, and you can see the intersection of 4-chome from the lobby.
And above all, "Ginza esthetics" sounds good.♪

 

RIMG6231.JPGRIMG6229.JPG

 

If you buy cosmetics worth 160,000 yen, you can receive 20 facial services.
At first it feels expensive, but you can go around for nearly a year at a pace of once every three weeks.

 

At first, I bought only a facial cleansing set and watched it for about a month.
I can start with a smaller amount of money.
It was good to wash the face, and I was taught the correct way to wash the face.
The lotion and essence I got from the sample were also good.
If you think about going to an esthetics or buying cosmetics after all
It might be a great deal! I decided it.
 
You can check your skin regularly.
On Customer Thanksgiving Day, there is a free pack for facials, and there is a free pack.
I have a pack present on my birthday.
If you answer the email questionnaire 5 times, you can get a gift.★
I'm glad that there are a lot of great deals.

 

When I go to the store, I change my clothes first and wash my face.
Large bubbles are made in the washbasin.
First cleansing with a treatment mace.
I wash my face with that big bubble.
It is difficult to make this fluffy foam at home (>_<)

 

Next, I will sleep on this bed and have an original facial massage.
(Lower left of the photo)
I feel comfortable and sleep when I lack sleep (laughs).
After that, they have ozone applied, but it seems to have the effect of promoting metabolism.
When it's dry, it's a bit greasy.
After that, you can remove the dirt that appears on the massage cream with a cleaner.
It seems that there is also such a private room. I think you can relax. ♪ (Lower right of the photo)

 

RIMG6234.JPG RIMG6235.JPG

 

And finally, you can give me a massage on your hands or feet.
In the meantime, I sometimes have a pack.

 

By the way, the staff are all good at any person.
Depending on the person, there may be characteristics and strength may be different, but there is no gap.
Personally, I like a little stronger pain and good.

 

When guided in front of the mirror, it matches the skin condition of the day.
There are basic cosmetics, and there are various makeup tools.
I make up slowly while drinking tea.

 

I didn't know when I was in 1 month.
I've been free for about four months since last summer.
When I went for the first time in a long time, I was surprised to get the "dullness".
My face became brighter.
I felt it was better to go than not to go.
It feels like I once again realized the effect of Sibon's beauty treatment (* ^^ *)

 

It seems that Sibon is the 45th anniversary this year.
We will continue to develop new shops in Ginza.
I would like to have a long relationship with this salon.

Little Sense, Chuo-ku (vol4: Nihonbashi Honmachi: Hana and Dango)

[ww] March 16, 2011 08:30

The row of cherry blossom trees (Okamezakura) at Nihonbashi Honmachi 1-chome is in full bloom. 
  (It is introduced in detail in Sam's post on March 7.)

A little earlier spring color heals your feelings.
It's best because the sun shines just during the day from 11:00 to 13:00.
You can enjoy both eyes and belly with lunch.

honcyo-sakura2.jpgThe large scarlet cherry blossoms beside Eitai Bridge will also be in full bloom.
In addition, the white plums beside Nami-Inari Shrine in Tsukuda are in full bloom.
Please go out ahead of spring.

 

 

Novelty Museum OPEN

[Satsuki Yanagi] March 10, 2011 08:45

OPEN last October (2010)

I went to "Novelty Museum".

The location is near Chuo-ku government office

P1050110.jpg

3-10-7 Irifune, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Yuuraku-do Building 2F

03-6686-7074

http://www.novelty-museum.jp/

P1050111.jpg 

"Novelty" = A souvenir that companies distribute free of charge with their names for the purpose of promoting their own and products. (See Wikipedia)

There was a sign in front of the building, and it was broken quickly.

P1050075.jpg

If you talked about "Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog" at the reception, please accept it!

 

Immediately after the entrance, "Cute Robot-kun" will give you a tissue paper with a discount ticket for the next time.

P1050077.jpg P1050112.jpg

"I usually have three staff members, and I can guide you properly."

And on this day, the staff who came to the reception alone (although) explained briefly.

It is a view of the hall from the entrance (there is also a back on the right)P1050078.jpg

 

The director is Takuro Morinaga, and the deputy director is Shinobu Machida.

P1050109.jpg

It is divided into three corners.

P1050080.jpg P1050087.jpg P1050094.jpg

"Ah, this is what I wanted." "This was in me, too." "I was collecting this too." Looking at each one, I don't have enough time.

P1050082.jpg P1050084.jpg

P1050085.jpg P1050086.jpg

P1050090.jpg

The corner of "Glyco" at the end of the route is impressive.

P1050097.jpg P1050099.jpg

P1050107.jpg 

A museum where "Novelty goods" with many collectors are gathered together, and you can spend an exciting time!

 

At the end of the route, chairs and tables are placed, and there is a free service of a cafe made of coffee machines.

P1050108.jpg

There was also a commemorative photo corner with Ryoma Sakamoto ... apparently Mr. Morinaga's intention! !

Next time, I would like to bring friends of the same age and get excited! 

 

 

You can easily enjoy a variety of tea. ♪ Tea / Ginza

[Mapo ★] March 10, 2011 08:45

It is a coffee room of Uogashi Meicha, and there is also a shop called "Cha no Ji Club" in Tsukiji.
There is "Tea Ginza" in Ginza.

From Harumi-dori St., it's on Nishi-Gobangai Street, which is located in Armani.
The atmosphere is completely different from Tsukiji, and it seems that the form has changed.

 

RIMG6263.JPG RIMG6252.JPG

 

On the second floor, we had tea while talking to public relations people in various ways (* ^^ *) 


Sencha course (500 yen) In Ginza, it seems that sake is first served.
It is sake today, but it seems that there is also wine.

 

RIMG6249.JPG RIMG6241.JPG


And at first, green tea with a slightly modest temperature comes out.
It was a mild and slightly sweet tea.

Tea confectionery is from a long-established store in Nagoya, Mitsutaka Umeya.
It was a little steamed, like a kettle like a wil.
It's light and sweet and goes well with tea.
It seems that tea confectionery is also quite particular about it and is searched here and there.

 

RIMG6242.JPG RIMG6244.JPG

 

And the second cup of tea is hot and dark.
It's bitter but delicious, the sharpness with the first cup is fun, and this is a great deal of 500 yen.

And this one comes out in the matcha course, but dark tea (lower right in the photo)
I took it for the first time in my life.
The common matcha is diluted, so it is "Osu".
It is said that this is a kneaded tea and "Okocha".
Certainly it's very dark, but it's fragrant and slightly sweet.
It was a good experience to drink deep tea without any manners.★

It seems that overseas customers are also pleased.

 

RIMG6246.JPG RIMG6247.JPG

 

The second floor is also bright and nice.
The ceiling on the third floor is made of glass, making it even brighter.
Is it a good atmosphere that has a no point?
This room is designed by interior designer Shigeru Uchida.
The hanging scroll also has an atmosphere.

 

RIMG6240.JPG RIMG6237.JPG

 

 

At the end, we had a tea presso on the first floor.
This tea is brewed by putting tea leaves in an espresso machine.
It's a dark tea that has been compressed.
It comes with chocolate and you can drink it for 100 yen.

Personally, I love the combination of chocolate and Japanese tea.
The tea and chocolate filled with this taste were perfect.

And this is "Konichiba" (lower right in the photo) that is being sampled.
The name is interesting one by one.
This tea is light and easy to drink.

 

RIMG6259.JPG RIMG6257.JPG

 

We received a set with this "Hello leaf", "Shan" and a spoon!
The package of konchi leaf is an illustration by Shinbo Minami.
"Shan" also had such a limited package in Ginza.
The illustration by Yuto Nadamoto is like Ginza.

 

RIMG6282.JPG RIMG6255.JPG

 

I was able to drink a lot of tea today, and I heard a lot of very good stories.
Green tea is a green image, but delicious tea seems to be yellow.
And this tea is "It's delicious no matter who brewed it, and it's delicious even if you brewed it properly.
The concept is "tasty tea that can be drunk easily without manners."

 

Certainly, when I brewed "Shan" at home, I thought it was yellow.
I don't know how to make good tea, but it was delicious even if I brewed it properly.♪

 

This year is the 80th anniversary, and during the new tea season (May) and the brewing season (November).
It seems that parties and lucky bags are also being planned throughout the building.★

In addition, a spring tea party will be held at Tsukiji New Store from March 14 to 19.
The topic of Kakegawa tea is now appearing~♪
