Sanko Inari Shrine

[Kra-san] February 29, 2016 18:00

On the way of a walk last weekend, I saw a poster (pictured) of "Peach Festival Hina Matsuri" at Sanko Inari Shrine in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho, so I would like to introduce this Inari.

Sanko Inari Shrine was Osaka's Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared in Nakamura-za, even though the Kinubu wholesaler Tawaraya Village Koshi Shozaemon and cotton wholesaler Tateishi Sanzo, who lived near the area (formerly Hase Kawamachi), was recommended in the early Edo period. It is said that it was Fushimi since 1689 (Genroku Kan 2). The shrine hall was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and rebuilt in 1924 (Daisho 13). In the same year, Hase Kawamachi and Tadokoromachi merged into Horidome 2-chome, at which time Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin was enshrined. Later, at the time of land readjustment in 1933 (Showa 8), he was transferred to his current location, and the street came to be called Sanko Shindo.

Basically, it is an unmanned company, and vermilion seal stamp and others can be awarded at Ningyocho-dori at the fourth cosmetics store Okina (Mr. Obata). According to Mr. Obata, various events have been held every season, including the peach festival (Hina Matsuri), for a long time, but the display of doll decorations seems to have started about ten years ago. The five-tiered doll decorations (pictured) on the worship hall are impressive with a presence that creates a gorgeous and dignified atmosphere. In addition, Sanko Inari Shrine has long been visited by daughters, children, geisha, etc., and it is said that if you make a request when you lose sight of cats as a cat tribe guardian angel. The beckoning cat (pictured) on the precincts is said to have been dedicated by the owners who have returned the cat.

The location is on the north side of the subway Ningyo Station, located in the back of a narrow side street on the east side of Ningyocho-dori (in the direction of Kodemmacho), and at the entrance there is a stone sign (pictured) of Sanko Inari Shrine approach. It is a small Inari Shrine that is a bit difficult to understand, but if you are interested in the Hina Matsuri held on March 3 (Thursday) and cats, why not visit once?

 

 

Ginza's Rotating Sushi Tavern Ginza Numazu Port ~

[Nojinya] February 29, 2016 12:00

A French friend who loved Japan who came to Tokyo on a private trip in January decided to come to Tokyo on a business trip.
Harumi's 100 yen shop (/archive/2016/01/post-2993.html), which I introduced last time, of course I would go this time again, but before that, I said I wanted to go to rotate. In France, it seems that there is a popular restaurant called Planet Sushi (http://www.planetsushi.fr/), which eatAirplanes in outer space, but it seems that "I still want to go real!" Since the accommodation is Ginza, he says, "If it was 'real', it wouldn't be a Tsukiji sushi restaurant," and he wants to go to "rotating sushi". "It's a difficult request again. When I looked for it while thinking that there would be no rotating sushi in Ginza, it was somehow open in "Kirarito Ginza"! Kirarito Ginza opened in October 2014, and since I often pass along Chuo-dori in front, I knew from the signboard that there were hot restaurants such as "Ding Thailand Yutaka" in Taiwan, which is a delicious small dragon package. But this is my first experience. PNumazu1.jpgTake the elevator and go up to the 8th floor. The name of the shop is "Rotary Sushi Tavern Ginza Numazu Port".PNumazu2.jpg

It was Sunday evening, so there weren't many customers yet and I was able to enter right away. As you can see, the inside of the store is a bright Japanese atmosphere based on wood grain. PNumazu3.jpgImmediately, I go to get skipjacks and scallops flowing through the belt, but my friend seems to have studied a lot about the story as expected, and Mr. Watanabe, the store manager in front of me, horse mackerel, octopus, Thai, Tsubugai, etc. We will continue to order bitter places. PNumazu4.jpgBy the way, Mr. Watanabe is the winner of the 2008 TV Champion Sushi Craftsman Championship, so he will judge the story skillfully, "a handful of soul". I had a cup of stomach in no time after stacking the dishes like this. When I was ready, I decided to go to Harumi's 100 yen shop together. 。 。

When I entered, there were still vacant seats, but there was a line in front of the store. It's a popular restaurant. PNumazu5.jpg[Rotary Sushi Tavern Ginza Numazu Port]

[kimitaku] February 25, 2016 14:00

 The date of relocation is also scheduled for November 

 Every day.

Outside the sales floor on Wednesday regular holiday market

I went up to the buildings in the place where the auction is held.

Enter from the place where the clock tower was located, go up to the third floor and go around the parking lot.

The stairs are spacious like elementary school stairs.

If you go to the third floor, you will find a stylish round window.

DSC_0031.JPGDSC_0034.JPG

In a passage with no traffic, the clock is ticking time. 

I'm always busy, the wholesale company is quiet today.

From the top of the parking lot building, you will see the city.

The buildings of St. Luke Hospital Kachidoki Tsukishima Tsukuda are beautiful.

 The Tsukiji Market will be relocated from November 2 to 6.

 The market will open in New Toyosu on July 7.

 

 

Latte Art [Turret Coffee (Turret Coffee)]

"Turret Coffee" is a coffee stand located in Tsukiji.

It is located right next to Tsukiji Station on Tokyo Metro (map below, red circle).

turrett00.jpg 

Turret is a general term for transport vehicles that are widely used for cargo handling in factories, warehouses, railway stations, etc., and are also used at Tsukiji wholesale markets.

It is the vehicle depicted on the signboard below.

turrett05.JPG 

The signboard menu is turret latte. The latte art, which Barista draws a brown and milky marble pattern in front of you, is wonderful no matter how many times you see it.

turrett03.JPG 

"Dorayaki", which is stamped with the logo of the shop, goes very well with latte.

It's a time to relax.

Diagonally in front of the shop, there is a monument to the site of the Tsukiji Small Theater, a symbol of the new drama movement in Japan.

Business hours are from 7:00 to 18:00 (Sunday and holidays from 10:00).

 

 

 

Marumiya Museum

marum02.JPG

Speaking of "spring", "Noritama" and "Noritama" are Marumiya, at least in my head, the image is completely imprinted.

marum03.JPG

There is a museum in Ginza where you can see the history of Marumiya, nostalgic packages, products that have been released so far, and extras attached to it.

marum05.JPG 

The map below is the first floor of the Marumiya Building facing Showa-dori.

marumiy00.jpg 

It's a museum on one floor, but you can meet old products.

marum04.JPG

It's an interesting place to enjoy for free.

This museum is located on the first floor of the Marumiya Building in Ginza 1-19-13.

[More and more convenient] Chuo-ku Community Cycle

[Dye] February 9, 2016 09:00

"Chuo-ku community cycle" started on October 1, last year.◎

I needed to register at first, and I thought, "Oh, registration?", But it was easier than I expected.

It's super convenient and I'm using it (^^)♪

s24_14.jpg

Handle, saddle, basket shape, presence or absence of mirror...It's a little different, so you can choose what you like.

You can also issue an IC card with 500 yen plus. Just hold it.

Even if you don't have it, you can enter the number issued online.

 

There are plenty of subways in Tokyo, but it is often faster to go from the ground if you change the line and get on one station. 。

In such a case, he responded exactly to the need for a bicycle rather than walking (` ・ ω ・ ')!

 

From February 1, wide-area experiments have been conducted in four wards of Chuo-ku, Minato-ku, Chiyoda-ku, and Koto-ku, and it has become even more convenient because it can be returned anywhere.

The number of ports where bicycles are placed is 123 in total (as of the end of December 2015) in the four wards.

◆Bicycle sharing wide area experiment

Immediately the other day, I borrowed it at a certain place in Minato-ku, completed it around Ginza 6-chome, and returned it to Takaramachi in Chuo-ku.

I really did it.☆

s24_03.jpg s24_04.jpg 

s24_05.jpg s24_13.jpg

I think TYO is Chuo-ku, MNT is Minato-ku, and CYD is Chiyoda-ku.

It's electric.☆

 

If you go on the same journey by walking with the train, isn't there more walking? It was like that, but by bicycle, I was able to shorten the time. You can also see the streets.

 

You can also see some other ward and private bicycle parking lots, so when you park your bicycle in between, use these places and avoid unnecessarily parking.☆

◆Parking lots and bicycle parking lots in Chuo-ku

It's also near the Mitsukoshi underground and near the station. The photo shows near Kyobashi on Showa-dori and near Higashi-Nihonbashi Station.

 

Locking alone will not be returned, so when returning it, "locking" at the port. → "Enter".

It seems that it detects the weak current coming out of the metal fittings that fix the tire and recognizes it as return.

 

From February 6 to February 10, the Safe Driving Campaign☆

It seems that there is a free distribution of helmets (limited quantity) at the Nihonbashi Information Center on the 1st basement floor of Coredo Muromachi for registered users. ← Distribution has ended due to favorable reception.

 

Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, Tsukishima, etc....

Enjoy the cityscape and sightseeing of Tokyo by bicycle♪
