The Kyobashi Edgran, a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station and directly connected to Kyobashi Station on the Ginza Line, opened its grand opening on November 25.

・

The Meijiya Kyobashi Building, Historic buildings in Tangible Cultural Property designated by Chuo-ku, was preserved and restored.

・

There are a wide variety of Italian, sushi, soba, ethnic, Chinese and yakiniku stores, including the large flagship store of Toshi Yoroizuka Tokyo.

In addition, a facility has been opened on the first basement floor to serve as a base for providing tourism information in Chuo-ku.

It plays a role in collecting and transmitting tourist information in multiple languages and local tourist information.

From November 25th (Fri) to 27th (Sun), a projection mapping show was held at Kyobashi Chuo Hiroba (Galleria) on the first floor, which is a feature of the facility.

Not only the ceiling, but also the three-dimensional illustrations on the ground were colored by projection mapping.

 

 

　
Did you go to the "Fukutoku no Mori" that opened in September?

The area around Fukutoku Shrine (Mebuki Inari) next to Colled Muromachi has been transformed into a green park with stages and cafes! It is very popular as an urban oasis because of its small quality.

　
It's the forest of Fukutoku...

　
Here!

The light-up at night is very fantasy.

Due to the fairy tale, it is a glittering shrine that is rarely seen in Tokyo today....！

The office is closed, but worship is possible. Currently, illumination art called "Wish Forest" is being held here. The shooting stars flowing over Tokyo in real time will be shown as illuminations....It's a romantic event. There is also a message system that sends wishes to the stars! It seems that there is also a collaboration project with Rara Kiki.

I'm doing it until the beginning of the year. For details, please check the official website.

Nihonbashi continues to be redeveloped, but at night it will be a very beautiful and mysterious space, including the lights of construction.

Please walk around the alleys here and there. You can see a completely different face from daytime. Even if you walk like that at night, it is safe and there is a station here and there, so it is hard to get lost.

By the way, the cafe "Mebuki Chaya" is attached to the forest of Fukutoku.

It is a very recommended cafe with calmness and reasonable price. This is a affiliated store of "Nihonbashi Information Center" located underground choledo, and Mikado Coffee, Yamamotoyama Sencha, and Imagawa ware bean paste are authentic tastes that use traditional Nihonbashi products. There are salads and Delhi too.

Mebukimaki (Onari-san) is small and sold out quickly, so if you want it, it may be better to go by noon!

Imagawa ware is like this. It's delicious....！

Various events are held on this stage next to the teahouse.

It will be cold from now on, but please come and visit the glittering Fukutoku Forest in Nihonbashi.

 

 

Hello! What do you think of when you hear "Kiha"? 。 。 。 The person who immediately answered, "It's a diesel car!" 。 。 It's a good answer!

When I hear "Kiha", I remember Jiro Asada's short novel "Poppiya (Shueisha Bunko)".

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

"When you leave the platform at Miyoro Station, Horomai's single line runs alongside the main line for a while before passing through the streets. The glass-walled resort limited express passes through the Kiha 12-type railcar slowly as if you were looking at it. Whether it's a mischief of the diamond or a production prepared for the urban skier, the train windows of the limited express are bells, watching the vermilion Japan National Railways. 。 。 <Omitted>. 。 。 Kiha 12, which departs at 18:35, is the last of Horomai, which runs only three times a day. "

[Nemuro Main Line Kiha 40 bound for Takigawa, which is stopped at Obihiro Station]　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

"Railroad worker" is a story that develops as the main character of the local line station manager Otomatsu Sato (Ken Takakura), just before the abandoned line in Hokkaido. It was made into a movie in 1999, but at that time, location was being performed at Ikutora Station on the Nemuro Main Line in Minamifurano-cho (Note: Nemuro Main Line was typhoon No. 10 on August 30, this year. It is said that restoration is difficult due to the damage caused by the damage, partly due to the business situation of JR Hokkaido). In commemoration of the movie adaptation, Ikutora Station preserves the top part of Kiha 12, which was modified from Kiha 40.

Here is a mini commentary, "Kiha" is a type symbol of JR vehicles. "Ki" refers to a diesel car (railcar) as it is, and "C" refers to an ordinary car, and "Kiha" refers to an ordinary car of a diesel car. Some of the similar ones are "Moha", but "Mo" is a train vehicle (electric vehicle) with a motor and refers to a regular train car. Instead of "c", "c", "shi" or "ne" may enter, but "kilo" is a green car of a diesel car, a dining car if "shi" is entered, and "ne" is a sleeping car .

。 。 。 The preface has become longer, but it's time to go to the main subject.

This time, I was a boy who was a railway kid, and a friend with a strong iron told me, "Let's go for drinking!" After work, join at Ningyocho Station and walk for about 5 minutes in the direction of Horidome-cho, where the success Inari is located. Then, in the dark, you will see a common "Noriba" guide at the station.

When you open the door unintentionally and enter inside, you will receive a voice of an assistant (master) saying "Thank you for your ride!" There is a yellow information board on the left of the entrance, which is like a subway station yard exit, a transfer to the Hibiya Line, Asakusa Line 2 (although it is actually on the second floor). If you go to the back of the store, you will find a buffet car on the limited express train (Is it a "Kiha" cafeteria car?) A few customers are already enjoying beer and cooking at the counter like in the above. On the counter, canned food of this store is piled up high, and when ordered by an assistant, it cooks one by one and serves as a snack. First of all, while drinking a toast beer, I decided to have an oil serdin selected by a friend. It's quite delicious because it's stupid with canned food! 。 。 。 And the second cup is a one-cup liquor that is indispensable for railway trips. The locally brewed sake Cup in Niigata (Gosen City), where the picture of SL (C57) is drawn! When drinking while saying "It's delicious" with a friend, the customer who was in the back is the manufacturer of the One Cup sake (Kinshihai Sake Brewery) http://www.kinshihai.com/index.html) ) With the president. Today, he was on a business trip to Tokyo, and he stopped by this shop that wholesales sake and also served as a greeting. I feel like traveling with unexpected encounters!

There is a strap that can be grabbed on the counter even if you get drunk, and on the second floor you can sit on a long train seat and drink. It was a standing drink, so I wanted to go in a little bit, but after all, I stayed for about two and a half hours in the delicious food, alcohol, and the fun atmosphere of the shop.

By the way, at the tourist information center, which opened underground, a geisha from Yoshicho greets me smiling and two shots.　

　How about dancing and throwing fans for fun sightseeing in Nihonbashi?

This staff is fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese. Of course, not only Chuo-ku, but also information such as Christmas illuminations in Tokyo was detailed. Everyone was very kind.

There were many people who were relaxing with rugs.

Small children run and walk on the lawn

The collaboration between the trees and the buildings where the autumn leaves have begun is quite easy.◎

"Azumaya (rest area)" is located near the center of the garden.

They sell souvenirs, plastic bottles, and buns.

"Kurimanju" that my Chibi liked for some reason.

I bought it at the shop and got it back at the rest area on the side.

The effect of repeating "one steamed manju, Kudasaisai Nana" endlessly (^^;)

　　　　

　　　　　　　　
There are several washrooms in the park where you can change diapers. ☆ For the time being...

In addition, there was a place to stop bicycles at the major entrance.

　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　

And a cat.

Is it the Lord here? 。

It was very popular with children. =^^=

　　　　

　　　　

The park has historical buildings and landscapes, and I think it's wonderful to be able to enjoy while thinking about history with children.
You can experience nature and history from a young age, and you may find fun in history on your own. ^^

　　　　

The "tidal pond" draws seawater from Tokyo Bay.

I would like to visit several times and enjoy the changes caused by the tide.

I often go out of the ward early in the morning on a regular weekend, but today I have no plans and the weather is good, so I decided to walk around the ward after a long absence. From the bus stop in front of Sumitomo Twin Building, go up the slope to Super dike on the Sumida River and walk from Nishizume on Chuo-ohashi Bridge toward Eitai Bridge to enter Shinkawa Park. It's usually time to go to the office, but today it's Sunday, so sometimes jogging or walking dogs go through.

Shinkawa Park is a famous spot for cherry blossoms. Every year from the end of March to the beginning of April, Yoshino cherry tree enjoys beautiful flowers (Blog article on April 7, 2014, "Ohanami Walk from Shinkawa Park to Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Tsukuda Park" /archive/2014/post-1956.html) is quite surprising and surprising. The contrast between the cherry trees that are colored red and the vivid blue of the sky / Sumida River is wonderful.

　

Of course, Shinkawa Park is a tree-lined path, so you can enjoy a walk while watching the cherry blossom maple, which is not a cherry blossom viewing while looking at the top as the spring cherry blossoms. It is beautiful to see the whole cherry tree maple in a distance, but each of the leaves dyed in crimson gives a sense of dignified beauty.

It is said that the cherry blossoms are beautiful because they fall, but the cherry maple also scatters in the blue sky after entertaining our eyes with beautiful red color. It is recommended that you go to see the cherry blossoms at Shinkawa Park, which is now in full bloom, on a sunny day.
