Expansion of Minato Park

[TAKK...] January 9, 2017 09:00

Minato Park, 2-chome Minato, Chuo-ku, has been developed.

In the past, it was a simple park with benches on the lawn, but it seems that it has become a hydrophilic park with a slope and can also be reached on the Sumida River terrace.

It's a sign.

Construction on the Sumida River Terrace side has not been completed, and it seems to be completed at the end of March 2017.

The flow of the Sumida River is a wonderful place.

Kamado-type benches that can be cooked in the event of a disaster (normally open-air fire or cooking is prohibited.)

Solar lighting is also available.

On the other side is the long-established pickle shop "Kitafuku".

I bought yuzu radish pickles.

 

 

Sky Tree Light Up on New Year's Eve 2016

[TAKK...] January 2, 2017 18:00

On New Year's Eve, I saw a special light-up of the Sky Tree from the top of Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

The lights are turned off, and (expectations are increased.)

Light-up imitating the Hinomaru!

From 11:50 pm to 1:00 am, this red and white light was lit up.

From the test lighting before the opening of the Sky Tree, I'm watching the light up here, but it's a really good point of view.

This year, the air is clear, the weather is good, and the perfect day for the first sunrise! ! I did it.

On December 24, when I went to Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the central hall atrium on the first floor of the main building was decorated very beautifully.

[Tachibana] December 1, 2016 16:00

We introduce it every year, but this year the Oedo wholesaler festival, which is held on "Shindo-dori" between Bakurocho and Yokoyamacho, has come.

 

The date is limited to one day from 9:00 to 16:00 on Sunday, December 4

This wholesaler's sale is usually a day when a wholesale specialty store sells specially, so there's no doubt that the product will be sold.
 

Products include men's and women's clothing, shoes and bags, towels, ties, kimonos, umbrellas, etc.
 

 

If you have time, please take a look. 

 

The nearest station is

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.
