[TAKK...] March 26, 2014 09:00

"COREDO Muromachi 2" and "COREDO Muromachi 3" opened on March 20.

15 stores, "COREDO Muromachi" and "Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower", were reopened on the same day.

"COREDO Muromachi 2" and "COREDO Muromachi 3" were full of fun and delicious shops with all 68 stores.

There is a sense of unity in the Japanese atmosphere, and it is a very pleasant space.

In addition, "Sakura Festival" is being held in Nihonbashi.

The cherry blossoms are lit up to enjoy a night walk, the iconic large Japanese shop curtain where tradition is revived, and the cherry blossom bar where you can go around long-established stores and the latest shops are being held.

The cherry blossom light-up is very beautiful and memorable.

"Sakura Festival" will be held until April 6th.

I recommend it.

 

 

To find spring

[whatever] March 19, 2014 14:00

 The chilly days continued after Keihaku, but Sunday morning when the temperature rose and the weather became warmer. As I walked along the sidewalk along Ningyocho-dori, I noticed the display of Judo.

 There was a branch with magnolia buds. As I thought it was cute, I found a magnolia in a street tree near the amazake Yokocho intersection. There were a lot of buds that seemed to open soon.

 I thought that spring could be found everywhere in the city soon, so I finished my errand and moved out around Ningyocho-Nihonbashi after 3 pm. When I went to see the magnolia I saw in the morning again, the buds are swelling more than in the morning.

 The number of people going to the city increased, and many people stopped and watched. In addition, I would like to introduce "Spring" that I found.

There was a branch with white flowers at the entrance of Yoshiume.

This street, called Geisha Shindo, seems to have not been damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake or the war, and it seems that the buildings at that time remain.

The winter scenery of February was also tasteful.

Walking toward Nihonbashi and crossing Showa-dori, the hydrangea street in Nihonbashi Honmachi is Okamezakura.

The dark pink and small petals are lovely.

After all, dumplings rather than flowers

 

 

 

Tsukiji and other fresh fish shops

[Apricot peony] March 16, 2014 09:00

Speaking of landmarks in the Tsukiji and Akashicho areas, Market, Honganji and St. Luke International Hospital.

There are completely different things in a narrow space, so just a little bit of a road will change the atmosphere completely.

In particular, the area around 6.7-chome was once called Odawara-cho, and there are many wooden private houses and signboard buildings built in the early Showa era, and there are many hideaway shops.

Some Tsukiji enthusiasts are sometimes called "Ura Tsukiji".


ck1203_20140314 (5). jpg 

Under such circumstances, I was worried about this "Tsukiji and other fresh fish shop" every time I passed in front.


They also sell fresh fish, but they have lunch at noon and can drink alcohol at night.

The lunch menu is always lined with delicious seasonal fresh fish.


Recently, I think that it was the number one book introducing Tsukiji recently, and in Yuki Ozawa's `` Tsukiji Harapeko Kaiki '', my husband was the manager of `` Uogawagishi Noro '' at an out-of-market market It was written that he was Kazu Watanabe, the manager of the store.

If it was that shop, there was a really good fresh fish with certain connoisseurs, so it was a shop that I went many times.

There is no doubt! I went to lunch right away.

 

ck1203_20140314 (4). jpgThen, the menu for that day was just written as one dish "seafood curry".

 

When I went inside, I asked Mr. Watanabe and found out, but the seafood curry that I put out before was very popular, so I decided to say "Friday is Curry Day".

ck1203_20140314 (2). jpgOf course, it's not just a curry, but a lot of squid, scallops, and mussels are contained in the plump shrimp, and the soup is also effective, this is exactly the gem of seafood curry!

Because it is limited to 30 meals, it may be sold out early depending on the day.

One who came to the store after me said, "Is there still today? Lucky!" he said.

 

At lunch and at night, the first floor has a stand-up style without chairs, but there is also a parlor on the second floor. (Please make a reservation in advance.)

 

ck1203_20140314 (3). jpgAnd I would like to eat seafood bowl at a later date! That's why I went on a day other than Friday.

The menu is daily, and on this day, there are three types of raw scallop and salmon roe bowl, natural raw tuna pickled rice bowl, and upper shirasu and raw urchin bowl, all of which are small bowls (on this day, Yamacho's egg grilled), pickles, and ara soup. With soup.

It's such a luxurious menu, but it's a thousand yen!

Limited 20 meals.

 

I asked for raw scallop and salmon rice bowl.

There are plenty of raw scallops that feel really fresh and subtle sweetness on the bowl.

Moreover, there is a scallop under the large leaves of the salmon roe.

I'm happy now! I'm going to see you.

Arai soup has a very good smell when you bring the bowl close!

The fish sardines are really well out, and as expected.

The small bowl is egg-yaki by Mr. Yamacho of Tsukiji Market, and pickles are attached here.

ck1203_20140314 (1). jpg 

After all, I was really satisfied with the fish shop!

 

At night, there are menus of fresh fish purchased by Mr. Watanabe that day, such as sashimi, grilled fish, boiled fish, etc.

I really want to eat delicious fish! If you think about it, it is definitely a recommended shop.

Hamarikyu Gardens where canola flower and plums bloom.

[kimitaku] March 13, 2014 13:00

 At the Hamarikyu Garden, canola flower is now in full bloom.

 We took a walk in the park.

 The red and white plums are in full bloom when you enter from the large entrance.

P1000760-nanohanamiti.jpg

 And further down, despite the heavy snow, canola flower was in full bloom.


 If you look into many Hanabusa, the petals are hurt by snow. Stroll along the path. The hotels in Shiodome are shining in the sun.

P1000761-otin.jpg
I extended my feet to "Ochinyama" (Ochinyama). It's still a winter atmosphere.


At the foot of the mountain, narcissus is blooming.
This is like a place where there is no wind.

P1000767-isi.jpg

P1000764-nekoko.jpgNyanko also took a nap at Matsuno teahouse near here.

canola flower was in full bloom in the middle of the year, but as it gets warmer, it will delight many customers.

 

 

 

Chuo-ku from the sea

[kimitaku] March 12, 2014 18:00

  On the afternoon of March 6, a “Onboard Guide Workshop” hosted by Chuo-ku was held.

  Take a boat from the boarding of Takahashi, Koto-ku, go out the Onagi River in Koto-ku, and downstream down the Sumida River. Look at Chuo-ohashi Bridge to the right, go through Aioi Bridge, and go to the Toyosu Tree Plant.

P1000769-1.jpgP1000771-1.jpg

P1000775-sinonome.jpg From the Toyosu Canal, the boat goes to Toshin, the Sunacho Canal, and go south from the Akebono Canal to Tokyo Bay.

 Around this time, many Olympic facilities will be built.

After that, we went westward north and went from Shinonome Canal to Harumi Wharf.

 The Rainbow Bridge is beautiful on the left hand. The waves are swaying high and big around here, giving the real pleasure of the ship.

 It is said that the left hand of Harumi Passenger Terminal will be the Olympic Village.

P1000781-rein.jpgP1000787-olin.jpg

 The boat looks at the Asashio Canal to the right and goes to the Sumida River, and the refrigeration facilities at Tsukishima Wharf are the highlight.

P1000789-toyomi.jpgP1000790-kaiyou.jpg

 Loop Route 2 passing through Shimbashi (commonly known as MacArthur Road: scheduled to open in recent years) Bridge construction site, and from Tsukiji Market to Kachidokibashi.

Tsukuda Island on the right from St. Luke's Hospital.
The houses of Tsukuda from the sea are very nice. The scenery from the sea is carefully built.

P1000803-isikawa.jpg

 When you pass through Chuo-ohashi Bridge, the Ishikawajima Condominiums are beautiful in the backlight.

And from Nihonbashi River to Toyomi Bridge. The fishing boat during the mooring is an accent. At Minato Bridge, I discovered the emblem of a sailing boat.

P1000804-toyomihasi.jpgP1000807-minato.jpg

P1000811-fune.jpg
The boat goes westward with the stylish capital height as the roof.
Arrived on the shore of Sojuro Nihonbashi.

From now on, Chuo-ku will expand its doors to the sea.

 

 

We participated in the "Ship Guide Training Workshop".

[Koedo Itabashi] March 7, 2014 09:00

"Watercolor City" This is the nickname of Koto-ku.

Facing Tokyo Bay, this area has a rich waterside scenery where canals and bridges intersect.

Chuo-ku is adjacent to the Sumida River.

We had the opportunity to participate as a correspondent of the tourist association at the "Onboard Guide Training Workshop" conducted by Chuo-ku and Koto-ku in cooperation.

This is a training program that I would like to participate even if I apply for an annual leave to the company.

After classroom lectures, on March 6, I actually boarded and went around the canal.

While watching the real thing on board, the instructor will give explanations about the surrounding landscape and buildings.

In addition to the diversity of urban landscapes that are developing one after another, the appeal of this training was to see the various stadiums and planned construction sites where many competitions will be held at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

I boarded the water bus "common kingfisher".

Because it is a compact hull, you can navigate the Onagi River and the Nihonbashi River.

It starts from Takahashi boarding area facing the Onagi River in Takahashi, Koto-ku.

Looking at Ecchu Island from the Sumida River to the left, Harumi Canal, Toyosu Canal, Sunacho Canal, Akebono Canal. See Yumenoshima and Tatsumi no Mori Seaside Park on both banks, see the gate bridge over Shinkiba's storage yard, and the Tatsumi Canal and Shinonome Canal. While looking at the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, turn the Toyomi Fisheries Wharf on your right and return to the Sumida River. This is a course where you get off the boat at Nihonbashi Pier on the shore of Sojuro on the Nihonbashi River.

I wrote that, but I am used to traveling by railway and road on a daily basis.

Check the position by turning around the map at hand.

Oh, I've been here now.

Bridges and bridges are the best ally for checking the movement position from the ship.

General roads, car-only roads, railway bridges.

Not only the many types of bridge shape, but also the fun of multiple overlapping combinations. I am also impressed with the ingenuity of the paint used.

After all, the landscape created by the bridge with both arms widened is a picture of the season, along with its background.

And looking up at the sluice gate from just below is quite thrilling.

Tokyo is a waterside city that has expanded offshore off Tokyo Bay. Tower condominiums and housing complexes that rise in the coastal area. High-rise buildings in schools and hospitals.

These thick sluice gates have protected people's lives and lives.

The height of towers and chimneys is also an important landmark.

If the Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower are reflected in the field of view, the tension will still increase.

The position where both towers can be seen is the Golden Point.

The Sumida River Terrace seen from the water can be distinguished from the surrounding buildings only where they are jogging occasionally, and can you guide around here?

As I always think, when you go out to the waterside, the sky of Tokyo feels wide.

However, today, due to the rapid development of low pressure, it is said that the Yayoi cold air flows violently.

The perceived temperature on the water was rather severe, and it made me think that he was wearing thicker clothes.

Still, today is "Keihaku"

The footsteps of spring should be near.

After a few weeks, the area around the canal will be colored with flowers because of the severe cold. It's coming soon.

Let's warm your body from inside with sake in the finished Nihonbashi area.

Thank you very much for your support.
