　We walked around Kachidokibashi in winter morning.

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, when there were few traffic, I photographed the buildings seen from the base of the bridge.

This is a photo from Nishizume on the left bank of Sumida River.

　 To the left of Tokyo Tower, Shiodome Shiodome Shiosite right is Conrad Tokyo.

The Shiodome City Center Building looks like a rice cracker twisted.

　On the right side of the riverbank is Tsukiji Market and the parking lot building.

Gun Center Central Hospital.

At the place where you cross it, the hiragana notation of "Kachidokibashi" is written.　

The building on the left is Inuikatchidokivir Crestocitate Residence

　You can also see Tokyo Towers in the distance.

 

 

　I will cross the right bank Higashizume from now on.

The silhouette of Plaza Tower Kachidoki is beautiful.

 

I just looked at the downstream side from the upstream side of the bridge.

　The photo on the right shows the upper stream.

You can see St. Luke Hospital and Sumitomo Life Building.

You can see the distance from Ishikawajima Island on Tsukuda Island.

　You can look upstream from the left bank (around Tsukishima).

Just right to the right of St. Luke Hospital, you can see only the Tokyo Sky Tree spire antenna.

From the left bank Higashizume (Tsukishima), I looked at the Ginza area.

The morning sun is beautiful reflecting on the side of the building.

You can see the Tsukishima River Suimon at the left end of the photo on your right.

If you get warmer in the future, it's a great thing to walk around Kachidokibashi.

A lot of flowers begin to bloom in the plums and flower beds.

 

 

 

The cold weather is even more severe this winter.
Many people may have caught a cold and went to the hospital.
Recently, there seem to be many hospitals that decorate paintings so that patients and visitors can relax even a little, probably because of the idea of art therapy.
But isn't it rare that there are two "art galleries" itself, like St. Luke's International Hospital?

According to the gallery's guide, it is "a place where mental communication between patients and their families and medical staff is born with art", "Providing a space where patients can heal and calm, and improving the body from a mental point of view It is aimed at art therapy that leads to. "

The first gallery is located at the restaurant entrance on the first floor of the main building, and the second gallery is located in the corridor between the main building and the old building on the second floor, but both plates drawn by Dr. Hinohara are displayed, not only paintings, but also books and sculptures. , Crafts and other wonderful works that are relaxing are on display.

Under such circumstances, at the first gallery, the annual exhibition of Shonoro Yamanaka will be held from February 4 (Mon) to 9 (Sat).

A painter from the local Hatchobori, Shonoro Yamanaka, is a person who gently paints small animals such as cats and dogs with a delicate touch with pastel.
He did not receive special education in painting, but happened to draw cats at home for rehabilitation, but this became his main business, and he became a painter after the age of 40.

Yuko Emon, a former NHK announcer who died of cancer, is also in charge of illustrations for the picture book "Rabbit no Yuk" that honors the importance of life and the affection of his brothers.

Many people have become fans, and this time it will surely soften the hearts of many people this time, I think that it will surely soften the hearts of many people .

In Bakuro-Yokoyama Station in Nihonbashi Yokoyama, Chuo-ku, there is a shop called Sandog Inn Kobeya.

It seems that it has become a hot topic in introduction on TV and word of mouth on blogs.
This time, I visited and saw it, and had a lunch buffet.

The logo at the entrance of the store

 

 

Lunch buffet contents:
Time zone (11:00 to 14:00)
Sandwich, pizza toast pastries, etc.
+Today's soup + your favorite drink
(840 yen for adults, 420 yen for elementary school students and younger, free for children under 3 years old)
40 seats, all non-smoking

 

 

  

 

Note:

I visited on Sunday, but at 11:30 the seats were almost filled, and around 12:00 it was full, and some people lined up.
(In the Yaesu underground shopping mall in Chuo-ku, there is our Yaesu store, which seems to have a considerable line.)

It is located in the ticket gate at Exit A3 on the Toei Shinjuku Line "Bakuroyokoyama" station Asakusa Line.

Speaking of meals at Tsukiji, there are a strong image of sushi and seafood bowls on the fish shore, but there are many delicious shops in the area near Higashiginza and the area from the back of Honganji to St. Luke's, and even at night, even if there is a little expensive, lunch can be around 1,000 yen.

However, on Sundays and holidays, the situation changes completely.
Most of them are closed, or even if they are open, the menu will be different from weekdays.
On the fish shore, the number of shops that are open even on holidays and holidays has increased, but there are not many shops that are busy in small shops and where you can drink coffee after meals slowly.
When I thought, "Slowly calm down and lunch at Tsukiji on Sundays and holidays," I was in trouble because there was no suitable shop.

In such a situation, I found this CAVATAPPI (Cavatappi).

The name of the store is from a wine opener, and I love Italian with the owner chef who loves Sicily! It is a homey shop with 4 staff members.
The place is on the second floor of the building next to the main gate of Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, which is a bit difficult to understand, but there are 28 seats at the counter and table seats, which is just the right size for a small party.

I made a reservation by the time I checked the business day, but when I told my friend who was supposed to come with me that I couldn't come, I said warm words, "It's a pity."
Neighbors were eating with a large number of children, but this kind of warm care is why the neighbors favor it.

On this day, I received a seasonal Hiroshima oyster and spinach peperoncino.
It's just 1,000 yen with vegetable salad and drinks.
The oysters are crisp, large grains, and the simple sauce enhances its taste.
The oysters were delicious~ It was a dish that seemed to be shy.

　 　

 

Regular holidays are irregular, and it is generally open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, but I think it is better to check for the time being.

For those who have applied for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Examination but have not studied yet.
I will teach you an effective learning method.
Of course, the text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia that can be seen on foot" and
Please prepare a collection of past problems at hand.

If you're going to study, first read the text diagonally and give an overview.
I'll do it. You don't have to try to remember it here, so you know the whole image.
Next, let's try the collection of past problems intensively. Probably about 50%
You don't have to worry about it, but you don't have to worry.
If you solve past problems for three years, there is a general tendency to ask questions.
I think you'll understand. Some are easy, some are quite maniac.
There are various things, but there is a nuance of whether the question will be asked from such a place.
I will be able to understand it somehow.

For example, "the origin of ...", "the person related to ...", "the author of ..."
"The predecessor of ..., old name, alias, current name" is given every time.
"Number" is also easy to make a problem, so remember the points related to numbers.
The filling of Haiku and Kawayanagi is also often questioned.
And rivers and bridges always come out, so it's better to study the details.

If you understand the general tendency of questions like this, I will write the text this time.
I'll read it carefully. Mark this place where you think it's going to come out
Read the text repeatedly.
Make sure you have a good image of the photos in the text.
Let's do it.

In addition, you can earn points if you remember the events and news that were in the year.
For example, in the fourth exam, there was a problem related to the movie "Kirin's Tsubasa".
Teskito alone is enough, but if you can afford it, go to the tourist association site.
If you check this correspondent blog, it's better.

The pass line is 75 points, so we do not aim for 100 points, but target 80 points.
In other words, there is a feeling that you don't have to do 20 points.
Please stay calm and do your best.

Please refer to this about 2012 (the fifth) Chuo-ku sightseeing certification.
