Autumn leaves have come down to the city

[Koedo Itabashi] Nov. 27, 2012 13:30

Each time it rained, the change in temperature was felt on my skin, and I began to wear more one by one.

The maple front is also moving from north to south, from mountains to satoyama and towns.

 

Autumn leaves hunting, yellow leaves hunting.

This year, I removed the opportunity to walk slowly in the wilderness, and if I noticed, there are only a few remaining in November.

Where is the most concentrated trees in Chuo-ku?

After all, it's Hamarikyu.

That's why I decided to spend a moment of Koharu weather in Hamarikyu Onshi Garden.

 

In the park, pine and other green trees grew plump, and the branches were stretched glossy against the backdrop of a clear blue sky without clouds.

The autumn leaves are ...

The fallen leaves of broadleaf tree laid on the path showed the impact of yesterday's rain and wind.

I wonder if it's time to see it.

But the color of Japanese maple is now on, and there are still trees that turn yellow.

The leaves exposed to the sunshine are glittering and seem to be waiting for themselves to shine.

The rich variety of trees is also the attraction of Hamarikyu.

 

On the other hand, I wanted to enter the winter, but it was being done steadily.

"Komomaki" winds a straw belt around the pine trunk.

It kills pests that are not good at cold by pouring them into straw.

It seems that the tree is just a belly winding, and it looks warm.

"Yukitsuri", which stretches a rope radially from the tip of the pillar so that the branches of the tree do not break.

The triangular cone made by the rope pin and stretched shape seems to indicate the preparation for winter.

The contrast with the Japanese garden makes you feel fun, reminiscent of the Christmas tree during the season.

 

On that day, there were many customers from overseas.

When I approached the angle while thinking that I was taking a commemorative photo with the autumn leaves in the background, I was impressed.

I was taking pictures of Shiodome's unique skyscrapers and Tokyo Tower with a cluster of green trees at the bottom.

Heading to Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba were also targets for shooting.

This place offers a panoramic view of Tokyo's sightseeing spots.

It is around "Hino Kuchiyama" located in the eastern part of the park.

 

 

The street trees in Tokyo, the trees in small parks, and the hedges and plantings of houses are also time to move to maple trees.

Nishiki has come down to the city.

It is a color that gives you a sense of energy in a pleasant season.

 

 

 

The specialty general store "Karasu-ya"

[Satoken] Nov. 5, 2012 14:31

It's been a long time. Here are some of the shops that I have been worried about before I was in the neighborhood.

The name of the shop is "Karaya" and "Glassya".

I was wondering what I could do after the construction started, and I thought it was a yakitori shop because the signboard was made as "Karaya".

Fashionable signboard

It's a bird's feather that expresses "O". It's quite fashionable.

It opened in February of this year, and it was renovated after the "Yoshikawa Glass Store", which was originally run by my father-in-law.

Mr. Yoshikawa, his father-in-law, had served as chairman of the ward association and was a celebrity of the ward. Mr. Yoshikawa, the owner, said he was particular about putting "glass" in the name of the shop.

It is a building next to Akimasa Elementary School under construction. It often stands out in the corner.

Glass products, wood products, skin and cloth products, etc., are carefully selected items that the shop owner has walked and searched.

Order-made is also OK.

You can see the inside of the store well from outside, so it is very easy to enter. The owner, Yoshikawa, is a very friendly person and can shop while having fun chatting. Please drop in at once.
