Blessed with fine autumn weather, before 10 o'clock, customers were watching the dolls from boxes in front of their favorite shops. There are 57 stores.

The doll put on hand salt seems to have the feeling of giving his child to his bride.                   

 At a long-established doll shop, Japanese-style dolls are available to customers.

 It makes you feel the tradition of Ningyocho.

 I'm heading to Harumi Wharf.

 

On the right side, the opposite bank of the Asashio Canal is the Toyomi district.

Tsukishima Wharf (Hokai Wharf).

 

 Shortly after we went to Harumi Park. The stone walls are assembled and the atmosphere of the castle ruins.

As you go along the way, you will see Harumi Passenger Terminal beyond the fountain.

 Proceed to the sea side, sometimes a large ship anchored on the quay.

Looking at the boat, look to the left and see the Venus sculpture.

 On the way to the observation tower, there is a wonderful monument. There is a small bird on the surface of the water.

While looking at it, you will go up to the observation tower. Mount Fuji is beautiful when it's fine.

The Sky Tree and of course Triton Square are up close.

Take the elevator to the ground at once. It's comfortable with the gentle air conditioning.

 

Go outside and head toward Triton, this area is a candidate site for the Olympic athlete village.

From time to time, the Metropolitan Police Department White Bike Corps is practicing seriously.

In the past, sometimes airships flew off from here.

When you go east through the construction site of Ring Route 2 and head to the hotel group, you will get a good scent.

 

 It's the Katsuobushi Center. 

Bonitobushi from famous shops such as Nihonbashi are transported here, dried in the sun at this place and shipped.

When I ask the clerk, "Tunabushi" is in front of me. It looked a little thicker.

Tunabushi is said to be used at a long-established soba shop in Nihonbashi.

Japan's tallest Noh theater (Ginza Noh Theater)

[Tachibana] 09:00 on October 2, 2014

The other day, an acquaintance appeared, so I went to Ginza Noh Theater. Located alongside Sony Building along outer moat Street (Ginza 6-chome 5-15).

This Noh theater is located on the 8th floor of a building characterized by windows, so it is the highest Noh theater.

Furthermore, since Ginza is located in a high land price, it is the tallest Noh theater in Japan in two ways.

The Kanze Noh Theater, located in Shoto, Shibuya Ward, is now in the redevelopment complex on the site of the site of Matsuzakaya in 2016.
It seems that it will be relocated with the completion of the building.

 

Ginza is the land where the residence of the Kinharu family, a Noh actor directly under the Shogunate during the Edo period.
In the future, when speaking of Noh, the age of Ginza may come.
