There is no "Saka" in Chuo-ku!

[Koedo Itabashi] May 27, 2010 09:00

They are walking around Chuo-ku.

 

"This road is a steep climb, but what a slope is it?"

"This is just going up to the bridge, so I don't say it's a hill."

"Yes. This area is relatively flat, so there seems to be no slope."

"Yes. There's no reason.

     Look, "Fuji Misaka" and "Shiomizaka" are classics everywhere in Tokyo.

     I saw Mount Fuji in the distance and looked down at the sea."

"Ah, that's right,"

    He said that he opened a guidebook that he brought for a walk.

She said, "Ah, the slope isn't written."

 

"It's strange. I'm going up to high-rise buildings and getting off at underground stations.

    I felt like there was a hill, but what about it?"

"Speaking of that, since it was an area developed and expanded by landfills since the Edo period.

    I wonder if it's the basic way."

    I also take out the map that was thrown into the backpack.

    They check every corner while tracing the road with their fingers.

 

"It's true! There are no slopes in Chuo-ku."

 

 

 

Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2)

[Sunset Hill] May 26, 2010 09:30

On May 23 (Sun), we participated in the "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour".

The ward has been supporting forest conservation activities in the forest [Chuo-ku Forest] in Hibara-mura, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo since 2018.

In heavy rain, we break up into groups and climb.

Because of the strong rain legs, I was prepared to prevent rain from entering my neck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

W50IMGP0260.jpg1 Experience of tree planting.

 

The height of 2 meters in yamazakura in the third year

I dug 40cm in diameter and 30-40cm in depth.

 

We plant bamboo together to support young cherry blossoms.

 

 

 

2 In the charcoal grilling experience, charcoal was served.

 

W50IMGP0275.jpgThe charcoal from the kiln is bright red, beautiful red.

Cover it with soil and cool it to make it usable charcoal.

 

The tools used to get out of the kiln are about 3m, and it is difficult to balance.

 

 

 

 

  3 Thinning work experience

 

W50IMGP0281.jpgBecause of the heavy rain, everyone is visiting from the charcoal hut.

Three junior high school students were very active.

 

Place a rope on the top of the cut tree, and put a saw and a saw at the base. If you fall down, pull the rope.

 

 

 

In the descent, the mountain road is too muddy and slips just by dropping your feet.

The people of the forest conservation organization went ahead several places, stretched ropes, and avoided slipping, helping everyone descend.

 

Both children and adults showed us how people were seriously working to preserve the forest.

The cherry blossoms will also have a strong root next year.

If possible, I would like to participate next year and see the cherry blossoms.

In addition, it seems that there is also a "Chuo-ku Forest Experience Tour" in the fall.

Chuo-ku Little Sense (vol2: Minato Park, two special seats)

[ww] May 18, 2010 08:45

Two benches in a narrow green space. It is a small place with slightly clovers around.

Minato Park is located near the Sumida River near Minato 2-chome near Tepposhu Inari.


There are two benches in the area that crosses public roads and borders the river, and the front is a group of high-rise apartments in River City that covers the eyes. And the feet are unaccessible vacant lots, covered with small plants such as clovers, and pigeons and sparrows quietly pop the leaves.
In the well-maintained Chuo-ku, the scene that can be said to be untouched is truly impressive.
If the condominium group on the opposite bank looks like a high mountain range, this green looks like a wide grassland.
We recommend that you sit on these two benches.
I'm sure it will be a special seat that everyone can relax.
