Notice Tokyo BAYNET "O NEW's Hosomichi + α (plus alpha)"

[Satsuki Yanagi] January 28, 2012 08:30

In the spring of 2009, the "Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog" started.

It's been my third year, isn't it?

Thank you very much for always visiting this site.

 

A long time ago, I asked you to listen to it.

My idol (no, Koto-ku, Chuo-ku)

NEC_0002.jpgStar of Tokyo Bay Net's program called "O NEW's Hosomichi": I'm going to cover the location of Frog's program.

That blog: http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2010/06/post-374.html 

 

I'm afraid I've had an interview with a frog.

That blog: http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2010/06/post-375.html 

 

(Note: From that time, the frog trained repeatedly and became a "frog master", and currently has a disciple. The program name has changed to "NEW's narrow path + α (plus alpha)"! )

 

Since then, I have been in contact with occasionally (in fact, rarely) information about Chuo-ku.

 

And here is [news].

2012 This year's first "NEW's Hosomichi + α" is ...

Sanuki udon "Orabusaru" of Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, which I also introduced on this blog, will appear!

 

orabsal17.jpgI'm really looking forward to seeing how "Frog Master" interviews and what kind of [one phrase] will be written!

"Sumida River Terrace" recommended for walking

[Koedo Itabashi] January 25, 2012 08:30

Walking and jogging enthusiasts have heard that they are steadily increasing with increased health consciousness.

At the same time, the maintenance of jogging courses in Tokyo is steadily progressing.

The courses around the Imperial Palace are one of the most popular areas in Tokyo.

 

What I recommend is the Sumida River Terrace.

This is the name of the water terrace on both banks of the Sumida River, which is being developed as a flood control project in Tokyo.

 

What do you recommend?

I'll give you the reason as I think.

 

1 The terrace is located on the river side of dike, where vehicles cannot pass, so you can use it safely.

2 Since there is no traffic light and there is no undulation, it is easy to distribute your own pace.

3 There are many famous bridges, and there are hundreds of meters between the bridge and the bridge, making it easy to set a running goal.

4 Since various materials and designs are used on the road surface, it is interesting to see changes in the soles.

5 You can enjoy the scenery of the waterfront, such as the shining water surface, water birds, and a variety of buildings on the waterside.

 I feel the vitality of the city.

6 The picture on the wall of dike is devised. It's cute.

7 You can wave your hand to a sightseeing boat that goes back and forth between the Sumida River.

 And so on.

 

In addition, the width of the river is wide, so the ston and the sky are reflected in the view more than I expected.

It is very nice to be able to easily enter the space in the city where you can feel the size of the sky.

 

Today, we walked from Ryogoku Bridge to Eitai Bridge.

I love bridges, and I think the bridges in this area are really beautiful.

Format, materials, colors, and design.

I thought that my predecessor would connect both banks.

The history of the bridge ...

I'm looking at this and so on.

What you can look up at the bridge from below is also exciting.

 

This is near the mouth of Tokyo Bay.

You need to be careful during high tides.

The tide, which has risen to the edge of the terrace, will wet your feet like a mischief.

 

 

 

Ricoh's ring cube ★San-Ai Building at Ginza 4-chome Intersection

[Mapo ★] January 23, 2012 08:30

The building opposite Wako intersection at 4-chome is located.
It is called San-Ai Dream Center and has a cylindrical shape.


Speaking of San-Ai, swimwear is famous, but you can see the 50 years of San-Ai swimwear on the homepage.
I'm surprised to have been there for such a long time!


In this building, there is also a beauty salon in addition to the Sibon Ginza store I introduced earlier.
There may be brand off (like a recycling shop).


 


And there are Ricoh's ring cubes on the 8th and 9th floors.


The 9th floor on the top floor is GALLERY ZONE. It's a gallery space.


The 8th floor is CAMERA ZONE.
All of Ricoh's cameras have been on display.
This is a workshop space for photo lectures and talk shows.


 


I bought a digital camera for the first time in 1997.
It was an interesting shape of Ricoh's DC-3, a petan and a type to put it.
At that time, I asked a passerby for a shutter.
"Is this a digital camera? I saw it for the first time ~ "(^^ *)


Then, in 2000, I bought the successor RDC-7.
I was waiting for the successor to this.
I knew that this shape would not be manufactured.
Finally, I bought the CX1 in 2009.
In this way, my digital camera life has been walking with Ricoh (*^^*).


On the ninth floor, it seems that various events such as photo exhibitions are being held.
Admission is free and regular holidays are Tuesday.
There is also a course (paid) that shoots delicious food, so let's take it next time.


And we rent cameras free of charge to the first five people every day.


 


Even though I came to Ginza, I forgot my camera! What a good time (* ^^*)
There are only two models, GXR and CX5.
I would like to borrow it once to verify the difference from the CX1.♪

[Yurikamome] January 20, 2012 08:30

"Nihonbashi Karuta" is a "local karuta" born from Nihonbashi.

The Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee was created in 2009 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its establishment in order to make more people aware of the culture and history of Nihonbashi.

Reading phrases on the theme of "history", "famous places / historic sites", "culture / cultural people", etc. were collected from all over the country by open call for participants.

Out of a total of 4114 phrases, 47 phrases were selected by the Selection Committee and adopted for "Nihonbashi Karuta".

2012_0119 Karuta Nihonbashi Photo 0012.JPG The beautiful design of the picture card is written by up-and-coming ukiyo-e artist, the sixth generation, and Kunigami Utagawa.

Production supervision is the long-established "Okuno Karuta Store" founded in 1921. ¥3150. - (tax included)   

If you collect 5 "meguri tags" with the Edo atmosphere while walking around the Nihonbashi area and bring them to the choledo Muromachi Information "Nihonbashi Information Center", you can draw a lottery once and have a fun present.

Let's follow the map and collect "meguri tags".

The "Meguri Card" is "Nihonbashi Karuta" mentioned above.

For example, I came with my grandmother and now I'm going to Mitsukoshi with grandchildren.

I received the Tenugui Japan, the 100th anniversary of the bridge "Nihonbashi" in the photo below.

                                      (Is there an empty lottery?)

I got the fifth card at Hotel Kazusaya, but I learned for the first time that Hotel Kazusaya's street was once called Tsunega-dori.

(4-7-15, Nihonbashi-Honmachi, Chuo-ku) 03-3241-1045

I remembered that I dropped the shutter I raised once when I was looking for a ukiyo-e of the shutter by Mr. Kazusaya Hotel for blog post before, to take a picture.

Thank you very much.

[Satsuki Yanagi] January 20, 2012 08:30

"Nihonbashi" celebrated its 100th anniversary last year (after it became a stone bridge) in 2011.

It will be a hot spot in 2012!

"Nihonbashi" has a guardian "lion statue" that firmly grasps the Tokyo mark and a prosperous "Kirin statue" with wings on the back.

Both are paired with "A statue" and "Un statue" like komainu.



P1070195.jpg The movie set in this Nihonbashi is "Kirin's Tsubasa".
This is a theater version of the popular TV drama "Newcomer", and it is finally a road show on January 28 in Toho nationwide.

It is said to be the best masterpiece of the combination series by the author Keigo Higashino and Hiroshi Abe starring.


From the show window of "Nihonbashi Nishikawa" in the south of Nihonbashi ...

At Tokai Tokyo Securities, the "Shoko Kanazawa Books Exhibition" is being held at the gallery space on the first floor of the Tokyo Sales Department as a premier art exhibition. It is a 2-minute walk from Nihonbashi Takashimaya to Ginza.

                       Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 11:00 pm to 4:00 pm 

The 26-year-old Shoko Kanazawa's powerful brushstrokes and dynamism characters were fine.

There was also a pamphlet explaining the meaning of the characters in the forehead, and it was a fun time to look back on my life and understand the meaning.

This time, Tokai Tokyo Securities provided a wonderful place for the exhibition, and a teacher from Sogetsu-ryu displayed the venue.

At the same time, Shoko wrote "Hanashi Takejo".

This is a work when Shoko was 25 years old.

It seems to have taken the four letters of the many Kanzan poems.  

It's horizontal writing, but it's written from the right.

NHK Taiga drama series's "Taira no Kiyomori" character was also shown on the screen.
