　  On the street corner of Ginza, I received such a flyer.

Indeed, recently, the use of bicycles has increased, traffic manners have deteriorated, and bicycle parking violations have also increased.
In such a situation, did you know that there is a bicycle parking lot in the basement of the Mitsukoshi Ginza store?

The location of the bicycle parking lot is convenient not only for shopping in the Mitsukoshi Ginza store along Harumi-dori St., but also for parking a little bicycle when errands in the surrounding area.

Available time is from 8:00 to 1:00 the next morning.　The fee is free for the first two hours. Every 4 hours, 100 yen is a service that is out of business.

 
There is a nice instruction in the bicycle parking lot on the first basement floor.　In addition, the inside of the facility was very clean and safe, and I thought that I could leave my favorite bicycle. (WOG)

The details of the Ginza 4-chome public parking lot can be found on the Ginza Mitsukoshi website.

　The Tokyo Square Garden opened in March 2013, and the Kyobashi Hill is open to the public as an open space.
A lot of plants are planted on the third floor of Kyobashi Hill, which heals the hearts of visitors.


The trees are marked with a wooden tag with a name for visitors.
Japanese andromeda, kaempferi azalea, Soyogo, Gotenbazakura, Japanese maple, Houki Hana Momo, Salsberg, Nishishikigi and Kakuremino are planted.
By the way, some people may say, "Let's write the name of the plant in kanji," but the name of the plant in katakana is displayed on the scientific name.

The scientific name of the world standard is written in Latin.
For example, Japanese maple belongs to the maple family, but the Latin name is Acer palmatum.

I don't know the details, but Acer is torn, palm
It means palm, and it clearly expresses the shape of the plant.

On a rainy morning, I went up to the third floor from the elevator facing the sidewalk.
A convenience store was set up, and we enjoyed snacks and coffee cooked in the store without getting wet in the rain.
There are about 20 chairs at this convenience store, so you can enjoy the planting in a relaxed mood.

Would you like to use it for future meetings?　Added:

On October 30, 8:00, I found "Ginza bees" that sucks nectar of Tsuwabuki flowers.　The picture is below

　The plants on the hill of Kyobashi also make Ginza honey.　I'm so happy.
