Harumi Liner, a new foot in Chuo-ku, which started operation in mid-October.

Inferred from the Shonan Liner and the Good Morning Liner on the train, there is something "easy fast" image.

What's Harumi Triton Square next to Nihonbashi Takashimaya? 。

If you are a Chuo-ku mania, let's understand, this shock

The bus approached me while I was shocked.

Hitachi Motor Transportation, we want to see the same as our Edo Bus.

The shiny white bus took me to Triton Square in just 15 minutes.

In addition to the comfort, the familiar scenery looked fresh.

This time I got on the train from Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit-Nihonbashi Takashimaya-Triton Square System Harumi 01.

It seems that the system Harumi 02 is Triton Square-Yurakucho-Yaesu Exit.

The number of flights is substantial, I recommend it.

The Swan Cafe Ginza store celebrates the 10th anniversary of its opening.　The event is being held with gratitude from October 24 to 26.　I rushed to celebrate with my friends on the 24th of the first day.

 

　

It's Buffet style of standing food.　It is said that this chef studied under a French master.　There are nice dishes lined up.　As usual, all the staff welcomed me with a modest smile.

  　

 While a variety of menus are lined up, the chef will cut "Wagyu roast beef".

This is delicious!　　Please go out.　Don't miss it !

Also, the coffee in the morning is very delicious. Is the mildest organic coffee from Guatemala in Japan?　It is recommended with the swan bakery next to you.　Please click here for more information. http://www.swanbakery.jp/shop2/ginza.html

　

 

 

On weekends, I participated in a mystery solving event of the Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival and worked hard to search for treasure chests!

On the weekend, there is another schedule, so it is about 2 hours in the evening when traveling around Chuo-ku while using the Edo bus.
I got a hint at Tsukishima and decided to walk around Tsukiji.
The sun had fallen, and when I walked without thinking about the sidewalk of the road where lighted cars came and went, I suddenly saw Kachidokibashi. When you get close, you're wearing green and blue costumes, and it's not so beautiful!

It was my first time to see Kachidokibashi at night, so I watched it carefully by the bridge.
Then a stall boat passes through the Sumida River.　Sumida River and food stalls! I think it's a beautiful sight.
I wanted to put it on a camera (although it's a smartphone).　Kasha.　

If you look at the photos taken, you can see Tokyo Tower beyond the houseboat! Also, if you look closely, you can see the lights in the Tsukiji Market in the foreground.
I thought it was a wonderful spot where you can see Tokyo's specialties at once.

Next, I took a picture of Kachidokibashi with beautiful colored lights, and suddenly looked at Tsukuda.
・・You can see the Tokyo Sky Tree!

From Kachidokibashi, the Sky Tree is a bit far away, so there is a limit to how you shoot with a smartphone camera, but it would be perfect with a normal camera! (In particular, this photo was taken over the road ...)
Also, the collaboration of Tokyo Sky Tree with Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is beautiful! (Impressions with the naked eye)

At Kachidokibashi, it was the night when I took many pictures and found several things.

 

More Kachidokibashi Night Face

 

This event I'm looking forward to every year.

 

After all, as the title suggests, cultural events are held in various places in Chuo-ku, and the entire ward becomes a museum!

From the old days of Edo to the present, Chuo-ku, which has always been the center of Japan and has been at the forefront of the times while preserving tradition carefully.

On the day of the event, only the main ones, a city tour such as Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, etc., a tour of the head office of the Bank of Japan, and a tour of the gallery in Ginza.
There are plenty of things such as a rickshaw experience at concerts, a navel exhibition that introduces the industries in the city at the Harumi Flower Festival, and a meeting of Yagenbori talks.

In addition, on this day, a free bus and boat operate, and the Edo bus of the community bus will be free to enjoy Chuo-ku plenty.
Oh, Chuo-ku's stomach! I'm going to scream.
It's great for those who want to participate in events in Ginza and Nihonbashi, but want to go to Harumi too.

One of the most recommended is a free boat with three courses.

On the Akashicho Waterside Line Tour Route and the Hakozaki / Harumi Route, you can see the Rainbow Bridge and Sky Tree from a perfect place, and it is the best if the weather is nice!
The Nihonbashi tour route is a great opportunity to see the roads and bridges that you usually walk from above the water.
In the Edo period, it was actually used as an important water transport, so it may be a good idea to think about that era.

Most of the events that still have many are free (some are paid), but some require reservations in advance, and buses and ships have time to operate, so the "Marugoto Museum 2012" Please see the homepage, the announcement of the ward dated October 21, and the detailed pamphlets distributed at the facilities of the ward.

If you look at the pamphlet and think about where to go, you will be excited now!

 

 

 

The Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival has finally begun!

During the period from October 1st (Mon) to November 20th (Tue), there are a lot of events, including live performances, stamp rally and various events, and I can't wait to see this time every year!

Among them, what I am looking forward to is the "treasure hunting game".

Problem papers are distributed at stores and facilities in Chuo-ku, and based on the hints written there, search for the place where the treasure chest is placed.

There is always a story related to Edo, and this time, a clue to Ieyasu Tokugawa obtained and searched for "Yatoku's jewel" with Jan Jooss Ten as the guardian was found during the renovation work at Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, so search for "Hoju" based on that! Therefore, if you do not know the history, famous places and historic sites of Chuo-ku, you will not be able to easily reach the hidden places.

Last year, it was difficult not only to search for treasure chests, but also to unravel the encryption based on the keywords written there, and there were Braffs and fake treasure chests, so I was able to get along with people who were looking for hints and get closer to the geography in the ward, and met people who were looking in the same way at the place where the star was attached, and managed to get along.

This year, the total prize money and prizes will be 5 million yen! It's a big behaviour, so if you think it would be difficult, simply search for 8 keywords and OK!
I can't go around in one day, so I divide it into three times and complete the mission!

In order to walk all over the place, I also participated in stamp rally, an antenna shop in various places.

Of the 17 stores in total, 12 stores are eligible to apply for stamps, but all 17 stores are cleared at will.
It was just the time of new rice, so it was fun to see the naming of rice in various places.

The antenna shop stamp rally is closed on October 18 (Thursday), but the treasure hunt is open until November 4 (Sunday).
