Japanese garden in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi

[Tachibana] Nov. 16, 2016 18:00

Today (November 14), I accidentally passed through Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.

A Christmas tree is already set up at the entrance of the new building.

When I entered inside, the Japanese garden was always in front of the familiar statue of the heavenly woman.

A pond is built in the center, and the surrounding area is a garden.

A picture of a heavenly woman is drawn on the bottom of the pond.

In addition, chairs were prepared so that you could eat Uji tea and Japanese sweets from Tsuruya Yoshinobu while watching the garden.

But very unfortunately, this event will end on November 15.

I'm sorry for the late information

 

 

 

I found an Austrian pottery shop in Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

 ・・・ I found a shop with a German name in front of Nihonbashi Elementary School. ・・・・・。

 With the exception of the window, there are many pottery with colorful patterns.

 The owner, Kazuo Kobayashi, is a Japanese mother whose father is an Austrian man.

It's very handsome.

 I opened a store in Nihonbashi Ningyocho

It is also behind the alley of Ningyocho, which has a tasteful atmosphere.

It seems to be because we want our customers to see the pottery slowly.

 Please enjoy colorful pottery at your side.

It would be great if you could make your meal time even more enjoyable as a companion to the dining table.

・・He spoke with a smile.

 

 When you leave the store, you can see the clear autumn sky.

The Gumunden pottery in the window glowed very colorfully in the sun.

 

Gumundner shop 

Phone number 03-6206-2353

Address 103-0013

1st floor of Yasui Building, 1-6-2 Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

3-minute walk from Exit A2 of Ningyocho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line and Toei Hibiya Line

5-minute walk from Exit 8 of Suitengu Station on the Hanzomon Line

 

 

 

We took a walk near the planned Olympic Village site.

[kimitaku] October 28, 2016 18:00

As you walk toward Harumi Wharf, you will find a vast vacant lot.

As you can see on the signboard, this is the planned site of the Olympic athlete village.

DSC_1544.JPG

The construction is in the middle of the project.

 

This time we went to the Central Cleaning Center.

If you go up the stairs of the center, you will find a small park.

If you look right, you will see the Toyomi Ohashi Bridge under construction.

Route 2, which is under construction at Tsukiji Ohashi, continues to the left from Ohashi.

 

In front of the left, Asashio Kobashi is on the canal, and in the left rear is Takeshiba Pier. A big ship was berthing.

 

In this area, the scenery changes with each passing day.

It is only four years before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

It is also recommended to take a leisurely and spacious walk around the planned site during the autumn holidays.

 

There is also a bus stop near the Central Cleaning Center, and it is recommended to use a bus for a walk. The name of the bus stop is "Hot Plaza Harumi".

Betara City

[Tachibana] October 21, 2016 12:00

Today (October 20), I went to "Bettara City".

It's very cold in October when "Betara City" is often October! There are many days, but today's day was a warm day with temperatures rising to about 27 degrees Celsius, and it was not cold at all with a single shirt from evening to night.

This year, I came from Sugimori Shrine.

Kagura was performed on the stage of the shrine.

And at the Bon Dance Festival, people wearing happi coat of "Betara Ondo" were dancing.

There are many shops that are pickled in Betara, but roughly speaking, there are two trains, "Kinhisa" and "Shin Takaya".

niitakaya.jpg               "Shin Takaya" is a blue happi coat

This year, I bought one piece without skin at both shops.
 

 

In addition, a long-established store in Nihonbashi also has stalls and sells for sale.

meijiya.jpgAt Meijiya, coffee was cheap, so I bought it in a big bag.

funasa.jpgI bought Tsukudani in "Kaishin" and "Funasa".

yamamoto.jpg

Fir laver was a bargain at "Yamamoto Nori".

In addition, bargain products were lined up at many shops such as "Civilizationdo", "Ninben", and "Eel Ise Sada".

After passing through Takarada Ebisu Shrine, I went to Umekatei to buy takarada.jpg"Kiriyokan" and "Kiri Sansho".

baikatei.jpgUnfortunately, I couldn't buy it.

After a two-year renovation period, "Cartier Ginza Boutique" will be newly opened on Ginza Chuo-dori.

It seems that the area is more than 1,000 square meters in total floor area of 4 floors.

The upper part of the building was based on Kumiko from shoji door in Japan.

A tall streetlight standing in front of the store? That's fine.

"GINZA PLACE (Ginza Place)" is open on the 24th.

Sony's showrooms on the 4th and 5th floors are attracting attention!

 

 

Lion of Yamataka Shappo (Mitsukoshi Ginza store)

[kimitaku] September 16, 2016 14:00

 Walk around Ginza 4-chome, Akihiwa. Cross the intersection from Wako. 

A different atmosphere than usual. The head of the lion statue in Mitsukoshi is black.

 It's a great discovery.

 What a Lion ... he was wearing a big black hat.

DSC_1352.JPG

 It's not an ancient song of Enoken.

"I'm the most mobo in the village ... Lloyd Glasses like Yamatakashape."

I remembered the song of "Stylish Man".

 A customer who found a lion statue on a hat. Don't touch the hat, stroke your feet

Rush your face. It feels like there is more contact with the skin than before.

 

 From now on, Lion  

 Do you want to drink bura-Brazil coffee in Ginza?

 The lion statue of this hat 

It seems to be an event from September 7th.
