Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The first time is information on the west side of Harumi-dori St. in Harumi district.

Transportation is Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line.

By bus, get off at "Kachidoki Station", head toward Harumi, and follow the west side of Reimei Bridge toward Harumi.

When you cross the Reimei Bridge, you will see the morning tide canal boat landing on the right.

There are many boats coming and going in the afternoon, and at night the lights of ships such as Japanese lantern are exceptional.

Customers wearing yukata on both the houseboat and the cool-down boat are also on board.

Cross the bridge, on the right is the newly renovated Reimeibashi Park.

Instead of a fountain, a fog fountain ...? It will heal the visitors who come. I feel good in summer.

　

Go out of the park and go along the right river. When you go down Asashio Water Park, you'll get a sea sign.

　

Looking at the numbers.

The bottom of the river is quite deep.

　

In front of Tokyo Towers, Ring Route 2 toward Shimbashi is under construction.　　

Head to Harumi Wharf and go through the overpass Route 2. Around this time, the appearance has changed rapidly over time, such as the construction of a high-rise building related to the Ring Route 2.

Let's go through Plaza Harumi and look at Tokyo Bay.　This is a spot where you can see Mount Fuji while walking.

Early in the morning, when the atmosphere is stable, the male figure is.

However, this "Mot Mount Fuji" may be full of this year.

A high-rise building is under construction in the direction of Shibaura. "Mount Fuji" will soon be over the building.　I'm sorry.

At the end of the harbor fire department is a spot.

　

Next time, from Harumi Wharf.

　

 

 

This time, I would like to introduce the jogging course in Chuo-ku.

　

As soon as possible, what is the ideal jogging course?

I think there are some things such as no traffic lights, no stairs, good scenery, and a public bath nearby.

　

When I searched for a place that satisfies such conditions in Chuo-ku, I think that Sumida River Terrace is the best.

　

Among them, the recommended section is about 2 km one way from the north side of Eitai Bridge to the south side of Ryogoku Bridge.

This section has few ups and downs, and you can run from the start while watching the Tokyo Sky Tree.

In addition, there are many ships running on the Sumida River, so if you are lucky enough to find a ship that fits your own pace, you can replace it with a pacemaker.

After jogging, why not sweat at the Ningyocho public bath "World Yu" and then drink a light cup in the neighborhood of Ningyocho, which is crowded with famous shops?

 

 

The annual Bon Dance Festival of [Tsukiji Honganji] will be held grandly for four days from July 30 (Wed) to August 2 (Sat). The number of visitors has increased every year, and now not only the neighbors but also the number of people coming from quite a distance has increased.

Above all, the feature of this Bon Odori is that it is lively and lively. Even if you are good at business trip sales and dancing at a famous local Tsukiji store, you will feel fun. On the 1st (Fri), there is also a setting called "masquerade dance", and it is also interesting to see dancing in elaborate costumes.

Naturally, it is the precincts of the temple, so I think that the strict feeling of the memorial service of the ancestors, which is the original purpose of Bon Odori, is maintained firmly. I have to feel some humble attitude of the people who gather.

In the first place, Bon Odori has been held all over the country about a thousand years ago as an event of the Buddhist Yelan Bon Festival. Unlike now, I think this event was rooted in the hearts of the Japanese people in an era where we had to entrust the end of life and death to nature and fate, and how much we missed the local events. .

The town of Tsukiji has been developed as the temple town of Honganji. Therefore, I may have a deep feeling of thinking about this traditional event in history.

By the way, when I visited the precincts just before the weekend, the people involved were struggling to prepare. The turret stands up and waits for the day steadily.

Please come to this wonderful Bon Dance Festival! Your heart will be washed.

 

 

In the middle of Ginza, Mitsukoshi Ginza store in Ginza 4-chome. The rooftop is "GINZA TERRACE".

Speaking of the rooftop of a department store, there was a lively image of events and vehicles for children, but there was a lively image.

It was a very quiet atmosphere full of flowers and lawns.

It may be perfect for a break in silver bra and shopping!
 

 

 
In one corner, it is registered as a ward private folk cultural property in Chuo-ku.

"Ginza Isejizoson" is enshrined. It is said that it is said that it is a great experience.

It seems that there are many unclear points about the origin of the successful Jizo.

At first, it was enshrined on the street, but was transferred to the rooftop of Ginza Mitsukoshi.

There seems to be a theory that it came to be called "Seisei Jizo" from the place where it climbed from the street to the rooftop.
 

 

 
From the Meiji era to the early Showa era, fair in Ginza guardian of children and travelers was crowded with many people.

It is said that fair is not currently held.

Even now, at the Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour in October every year, many people visit guardian of children and travelers!

 

 

■To the 2nd floor of SoftBank Ginza

Some people went to see the robot "Pepper".

 

□SoftBank Ginza is close to the Ginza 4-chome intersection along Chuo-dori.

 

□Jiro Shirato at the store.

 

□"Pepper" in the corner on the second floor.

 

□The world's first emotional recognition personal robot.

It will be released for 198,000 yen in February next year.

 

■We also participated in "Softbank World 2014" on July 15 and 16.

In the keynote speech, President Masayoshi Son presented the concept of "Equational productivity x working population = competitiveness of Japan's revival."

（１） Productivity can be raised by equipping information (e.g., job productivity can be improved by having all employees use smartphones, tablets, and clouds).

（２） If 30 million general-purpose production robots can be introduced, the working population can be equivalent to 100 million.

 

□President Masayoshi Son also had a dialogue with "Pepper".

 

■In Japan, where the working population is declining, it is necessary to change the way of thinking in order to increase competitiveness.

I think it's interesting to visit "Pepper" in the middle of the silver bra.

 

 

 

This is a new mom correspondent m(__)m

Correspondent blog, too? ) I'm getting used to it little by little, so I'd like to start a series from a mom's perspective without permission.

 

The title is [Chuo-ku to enjoy with children]!

Chuo-ku has the image of an adult city such as Ginza and Nihonbashi, but I would like to introduce some spots that can be enjoyed by children little by little.

 

The first one is "GINZA RAKUGAKI Cafe & Bar by Pentel".

 

The walls, floors, and windows inside the store...A dream-like shop where you can graffiti anywhere!

It's something you can't usually do, so not only children but also adults can fit.

However, it seems to be crowded for a limited time until 7/27 (Sun), so I think it would be better to make a reservation when going out. It was a 90-minute system.

 

The 7th floor of a new building with impressive trees.

As expected, in the calm atmosphere of Ginza, the shop is also a gentleman.

  

 

...However, the inside of the store is full of graffiti

 

Dr. Dazai, too...

　

　

  

The curtain is also a canvas. The bathroom is also a must-see.

 　

I drew "Tenharu Senta-kun" of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Mascot.

I wonder if you've made a mistake.

 

Both dishes and drinks are colorful and exciting. And it's delicious!

I had the cocktail made with non-alcoholic.

   

 ↑A photo taken by a mom who went with me. Vivid~☆

 

I also had a souvenir. Mr. Pentel, please give me a smart measure!

It's excellent in writing.

 

When I asked at the time of booking, there was no chair for children, but it was possible to put a stroller in the seat. There seems to be a children's menu too.

The shop was very kind to us with children, and I was grateful.

 

At night, I think it's a completely adult atmosphere with BAR, but I think you can enjoy graffiti even with children at lunch.

 

I can't see it.

This summer, you can experience only here!
