　On the 10th floor of the Maison Hermes headquarters in Hermes Japon, 5-4-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, there is a reservation-only mini theater "Le Studio".

　

This is a private cinema with 40 seats, and in 2016 the theme of "Nature - Light Gallop", and in August, the 1978 Cannes International Film Festival film "Koko, Talking gorilla" Koko, legor quile by Barbet Schroeder was screened.

　

And the content is ...

Penny Patterson, a Psychology major at Stanford University, conducted a three-month-old gorilla "Koko" language education using sign language as a tool, and now at the age of seven, uses 350 words accurately, understands more than 500 words, and allows Coco to verbalize what he wants and convey most of his feelings in sign language....。 It was a documentary work like that.

　

　The theater is simple, but the audience seats are arranged in a staircase and are very easy to see. Of course, it is also compatible with wheelchairs, and the beautiful staff will take care of you.

Admission is not from the front but from the dedicated elevator facing Sony Street.

　

　

　Admission fee is free and anyone can make a reservation with a full reservation system on a first-come, first-served basis.

The screening date and time will be screened three times a day on weekends and holidays.

Reservations can be made on the Hermes website from 11:00, three weeks before the screening date you wish to watch. (Registration required)

◎Of course, reservations cannot be made if the seats are full, but if there is a cancellation on the day, you can enter on a first-come, first-served basis if you go directly to the venue 5 minutes before the screening time.

　The Orimine Bee Cars Kachidoki store is located

　The signboard of the big bear bread is a landmark.

　

　When you enter the store with a bear sign, there is a space where you can relax and choose bread.

　

　

　In the back of the window, we are in the middle of the bakery with enthusiasm.

　A genuine and delicious bread that does not use emulsifiers or yeast is baked.

　

　Invited by the slight fragrance of wheat, I put French bread and some in the basket.

　

　

　The last thing that caught my eye was the daiko bread.　

　A small octopus sits on a round bread.

　

　When you bite French bread　

　The plump scent of wheat spreads in your mouth.　

　

Each bread is very unique. Idako bread tasted like a blue sea.

Get off at Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line. There is a shop along Kiyosumi-dori.

 

 

　I think the Police Museum is a very good environment where you can learn about the police system from the Meiji government. It is also a place where children are pleased, such as the experience of a white motorcycle police officer.

So, I wanted to teach you and your children as a place for free study during summer vacation.

Unfortunately, it is suspended due to the renewal work.

The museum will be closed until the spring of 2017.　I'm going to visit the renovated police museum with my grandchildren.

 

 

Did you know that a Noh festival called "Noh Noh Kinharu Festival" is held in Ginza once a year in August?

Various events such as Noh lectures and parent-child experience classes will be held around Kinharu-dori in Ginza for five days. The big bird is the street dedication Noh performed on Kinharu Street!

The precious performances performed in the dusk are truly worth a look. I would like to see it once....But I don't have much information in advance so I can't get back....I think there are some people. For such a person! This time, I would like to briefly introduce a series of flows for observing the street dedication Noh.

It's Kinharu Street, the venue for the Golden Spring Festival. The location is as follows. The station is close to Shimbashi.

It is free to visit Noh at the venue, but since it is usually a full thanks and you will not be able to enter the venue, you will receive a numbered ticket (seat reservation ticket) from the person in charge in advance. A numbered ticket will be distributed per person on Kinharu Street from 4:00 pm on the day....But it's probably too late to go at four o'clock. At 2 o'clock, there are already about 10 waiting queues (however, this waiting column is voluntary, and the operation will maintain it after 3 o'clock).

It's this procession at 4:00 pm when the distribution starts!

The block is lined up all the time.

If you get the numbered ticket safely, you're free to rest. It's okay if you're back to your seat by five forty-five p.m. The performance starts at six p.m. If you do not return to your seat by time, the reserved ticket will be invalidated and will be handed over to others.

Near the venue, Toyo Iwaine (very recommended!) There are many things, so there is no shortage of walking until time.

Here's the point!

The numbered ticket is a seat reservation ticket, so the person in charge will adjust when distributing it. You may ask your preference in a vacant seat. However, there is also a balance such as the number of consecutive numbers, so it is not always possible to say that "it is better to line up early".

First of all, in the front row, people involved and schools sit down. In general, you will sit in a vacant seat after that. Therefore, there is a great possibility that "one person who came later" will be a better seat than "the three people who were lined up earlier".

In addition, if there are vacant seats even after the start time, those who do not have a numbered ticket with reserved seats will be passed sequentially. And the vacant seats are "seats related parties". Then, the person who happened to be there without being lined up at all and went to the front row! ! What a thing can happen. In the unlikely event of such a disappointing situation, don't get angry...Don't be sad...I also need Men Tal (laughs).

Even in narrow passages between seats, those who do not have a numbered ticket will sit on a cushion and watch. Fortunately, you may be able to go to the front row. Conversely, if the timing is right, there is a possibility that you can tour without waiting for a numbered ticket.

Well, it's the venue that has been set up.

An altar made in the back.

It is a bit difficult and difficult to understand to take a picture of the entire venue with a camera, so please take a look at this overall picture.

It is such a arrangement, so you may understand somehow, but it is basically not so good from the general audience! ! ! This is inevitable because the Golden Spring Festival dedication is not a box office but a Shinto ritual, and there are schools. However, as "I can't see it more than I thought", you can see it roughly, and there is a kneading procession at the beginning, so you can see the performers up close there!

Shooting is prohibited once the performance starts. Some people keep taking pictures even if they are warned, but I think it's a bad act to take pictures of Shinto ritual casually without permission....。

The performance time is about an hour. You can enjoy valuable performances that you can not usually see with commentary from experts. Anyway, I'm overwhelmed by the atmosphere. At the time of encounter, the appearance of stepping on an old performance in the neon lights of Ginza is truly mysterious. There is a sound of shadows and clothing, and even if you can't see the performer, there may be something that can be transmitted.

After the performance, visitors will also visit altar.

I have to get a seat with a lot of trouble....There is a hurdle, but I think it will be a valuable experience. Think about willows in Ginza.

You can also get a nice brochure.

 

 

At Marther Brunch Ginza Terrace, located in Kirarito Ginza
I've had an excellent French toast lunch!

　

　
Choose the main from about 7 types (some have additional fees)
And 1,700 yen for two French toasts.
I cooked salmon and spinach with cream.
It was quite rich and delicious.
And French toast is also rich,
It's delicious, but it looks high in calories (laughs).

　
But it's not persistent, so I've finished 2 pieces.
But I was not hungry until about 10 o'clock in the evening.
We had 3 people on this day for work meetings.
The sofa is relaxed, and spread notes and materials.
It was a very good place to talk.

The harsh heat continues every day.

Even during shopping in Ginza, I dive underground in search of coolness.

Chuo-ku, where many subways run underground.

Well, do you know how many subway stations are in the ward?

There are a total of 19 stations on the 6 Tokyo Metro Line and 10 stations on the 3 Toei Line.

The oldest of them is Mitsukoshimae Station.

　

Mitsukoshimae Station opened on April 29, 1932 (Showa 7) as a extension of the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway, which had opened between Asakusa and Kanda.

In the ranking of passengers by Tokyo Metro Station in 2015, it ranked 23rd (approximately 125,000), ranked third in the ward after Ginza Station (approximately 245,000) and Nihombashi Station (approximately 175,000). I am.

In fact, Mitsukoshi fully provided financial support to the Tokyo Metropolitan Subway, which had been in trouble with funding while planning to extend from Kanda to Shimbashi, and opened this station with cooperation.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Subway will continue to expand the track with the financial cooperation of Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Ginza and department stores on the station, but the department store name is currently located only at Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo subway, and in that sense it can be said that this is the ultimate collaboration.

Each subway station in the ward seems to have a story unique to that station.

On a hot day, you can think of it while walking in a cool underground shopping mall along with shopping.

Finally, there is one quiz.

In addition to "no", "tsu", and "ga" in Tokyo subway station names, there is one station with "Kana character" in the station name. Well, where is it?

That's right.　　It was Kachidoki station on the Oedo Line in the city.
