Nihonbashi Library is located in Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

This is the place where Saigo Takamori lived for about two years in the Meiji period. Currently Nihonbashi Elementary School, a pool that can be used by the general public underground, a municipal library on the upper floor, and a Bon Dance Festival is held in the schoolyard in summer!...It is also a popular spot in the neighborhood.

Nihonbashi Library, which is on the upper floor, has been undergoing renewal work for a long time since last year, but on March 1, the 7th floor finally opens! It was very beautiful, spacious, and easy to use.

The passage is wide. Wheelchairs, strollers, those who have a lot of luggage and cane cane at ease.

There are plenty of seats available. I think I can concentrate on myself. The chair was comfortable to sit down!

There is also such a cute seat.

The local reference room I was looking forward to is also very fulfilling!

In the room, not only materials but also dedicated reading seats (the desk is wide!) That's enough.

The Nihonbashi Library has a lot of local materials. Even the catalogs of small exhibitions and personal record books, "I don't know....It is one of the libraries that have a high probability of finding materials that you gave up. I think there are elements that can be enjoyed by local people, sightseeing, and students.

The magazine corner is also full. There were a lot of women's magazines.

I think it's wonderful that there are places to sit here and there.

The toilet was of course barrier-free, and it was spacious and very beautiful. It's an important thing....！If the library toilets are old, narrow and dirty, fear doubles....

The 6th floor, which is still under construction, will be a children's corner and a reading room. Complete opening is 4/1 (Sat)! I'm looking forward to it.

Opposite the library, there is also a Western confectionery shop "Surky", which is famous for cream puffs that are so popular that they line up. In addition, there are fashionable flower shops, delicious shops, good luck and Koami Shrine, so it is a very fun zone. On April 8th, there is also a flower festival at Daikanonji Temple.

Please come to Ningyocho this spring, when the Nihonbashi Library will be renewed. It's perfect for a resting place with children.

3 years after raising children in Chuo-ku (correspondents are 3 years!) It's gone.
In my daily life, there are many things I have to do alone and the pressure is great.
What I always think is that Chuo-ku has a lot of local support.
It is a government, a service such as a shop, a kindness of the people of the city, etc.
There are various shapes, but I'm really grateful for your help so far.

　　　　　

This time, I would like to introduce "Growth Link Kachidoki" which is one of such thankful support.

"Growth Link Kachidoki" is a child-rearing support facility with the concept of creating a community where child-rearing can be shared throughout society.

　　　　

It seems that there are lessons and rental gardens here, but the other day I used the "Play Hall", so I used it.
I would like to introduce you to you.

To use the play hall, you must first become a member.☆
Apply for registration on the Web in advance, pay the registration fee of 1500 at the office within one month to complete the procedure.
I'll receive your membership card. (Note that if you do not apply in advance for the Web, it will be 2000 yen!)
Once registered, you can play from the age of 0 to the second grade of elementary school without renewal fees or annual membership fees.

　　　　

There is also a nursing room and a diaper changing space.

　　　　　

The play hall is a huge rope jungle gym (3 stories!) in the middle of the room. Yes, there is.
The space, picture book corner, and hot carpet are warm for high-hi babies to enjoy with peace of mind.
There is a building block play zone.

In the book corner, there are also interesting books for adults along with picture books, so parents can relax.

When I was sitting on this chair, other children came in and talked about what kind of ideas they were playing.

The third floor part where the children said "heaven." I will go up and down the slope.

The rope jungle gym is safe for adults to ride.
...But honestly, on the third floor, I was scared and stuck to the net and couldn't move (laughs).
Then the girl said, "I'm 5 years old, so I'm fine! But when I was three years old, I was caught in this way."
Encourage me...(^^；)　Mr. Chibi in my home quickly became accustomed to seeing the other children.
The children were jumping in time.

What seemed interesting was the hammock of the net. It seems to calm down when you put it in. ＾＾

Chibi of my home tried to enter the hammock with a child around him, but
I think I was a little scared. But at first I was going to see the situation.
The tunnel was quickly overcoming it and crossed it.
The pipe-shaped slide extending from the second floor was also dashingly slipping.

Children are learning from children. And it's really fast growing.

　　　　

In addition, the facility is used by parents, but the staff is also watching.
There are situations where they are careful if they are doing dangerous things, and they are facing their children properly.
I'm relieved. It's really the role of a parent, but there are times when I can't take it honestly, so please get involved.
It's very helpful. I think this is just an example of how "solitary care" has been resolved.

　　　　　

Small interactions with other children and adults are good for both children and parents.

　　　　

Not only the play hall introduced this time, but also for the outside Jabujabu Pond and the like.
I'd like to see you again.
It is recommended not only for those with children outside the city, but also for those with children outside the city.

On the way home from work on Friday evening, I decided to drink in Ginza at the invitation of a friend. Expectations are growing for the invitation email saying "It's a little hideaway shop!" The place is Ginza 7-chome along Corridor Street. It's a street I've walked many times before, but I'm always caught by a long queue (Midori Sushi) opposite, and it's a completely no mark, just a hideaway!

　

As you can see, the exterior is made of brick and blends completely into the surrounding buildings, but when you open the door one step and enter inside, Risa of the sommelier greets you with a smile in a bright shop.

It was just opened (opened at 18:00), so there was only one customer, but a friend says that it is a popular shop where you can not easily get a seat unless you make a reservation in advance with Chan. I enjoy Risa's recommended southern French red wine while eating tidbits putty. In the meantime, new customers came in more and more, and the small store (capacity: 17 people) quickly became full.

[Seasonal vegetable dish] You can enjoy it with your five senses!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

In addition to Southern European wines, dishes that make use of domestic ingredients are also delicious, and they are especially focusing on dishes using Kochi vegetables and fish from Risa.

By the way, Kochi Prefecture is a prefecture that focuses on sightseeing that became famous in the movie "Prefectural Office Hospitality Division (starring Ryo Nishikido and Maki Horikita)" released four years ago!

Risa, who has been appointed as a Kochi Prefecture Tourism Special Envoy in Kochi Prefecture, said, "For two years from March, the Shikoku Kochi late Tokugawa shogunate Restoration Expo has been held to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the reign of the Great Government and the Meiji Restoration, so please go to Kochi! " It is a fun shop where you can enjoy drinking, cooking, talk with Risa and three beats.

　On the fashion floor while walking around Ginza Mitsukoshi

I found a very nice shawl.

　

　This exhibition is sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.　

THE BEST GIFT EVER from KANTO characters.

(← Click to increase it.)

　

All this shawls are hand-dyed and have the FUPPU logo.

　

　It is colorful and transparent as if it is windy, and it is a shade that brightens the wearer.　

Both the accessory case and the wallet are very cute.　

　

All of these are

　This is the work of Kinu no Ie, a workshop located in Yorii, northern part of Saitama Prefecture.

It seems that it is also certified as a workshop JAPAN brand here.

When I look at the distance, the crowds of women were

　

If you hold it in your hand and check the touch, everyone will smile ...

　

　As a man, I immediately wrapped this scarf.

I wanted to walk in today's chilly Ginza.

　

This exhibition from March 15th to 21st　

Held on the 7th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi (telephone 03-3562-1111).

※Thank you very much for your understanding. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

 

 

Take a walk on the right bank of the Sumida River during the daytime on March holiday.

You can hear the birds singing from somewhere.

The place where the squeals are made is the Sumida River Terrace. It's the base of Eitai Bridge.

　

A bird was coming to suck the nectar of the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

The little bird tries to take pictures of Japanese white-eye.

It seems that it is impossible with a smartphone.

　

I don't think it's Yoshino cherry tree, but every year at this time.

It seemed to be in full bloom earlier than other cherry blossoms and attracted spring.
