 Today September 19th is August 15th in old calendar. The moon tonight is "Mid-Autumn Moon".

In fact, since the phases of the moon are not perfect one month, subtle gaps occur depending on the year, and the "medium-autumn moon" is not necessarily the full moon. This year is the last chance in the 2010s, when the mid-autumn moon is the full moon.

In general, typhoons often hit during this time, and fronts often stagnate near Honshu, and it is said that it will not be a sunny day for moon viewing in a wide area, but this year we are blessed with fine weather nationwide and love the moon The perfect conditions have been set.

I hear that various moon-viewing events are organized at sightseeing spots with a good view.

This is the part of Eitai Bridge. As houseboats pass through the river surface, a round "moon" shines in the clear autumn sky above the head of Eitai Bridge, which is lit up in blue.

By the way, the chance that the next "Mid-Autumn Moon" will be full in 2021.

 

 

 

This is the first time in a long time.

On the day at the height of summer, I walked again in the ward world.

 

I was walking in the direction of Kanda from Kodemmacho and found the ward boundary under the elevated JR.

 

In a small bar street, there were some cats lying in the shopkeepers.

 

It was in the middle of the city, but I think it was still lunch, but it was a relaxed atmosphere.

 

I hope there will be an interesting discovery next time.

 

　　　

 

 

　　♪Beyond the sea, let's be friends~

　　　The flag of all nations♪

 

Early morning on Sunday, September 8th.

The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a melody that resonated in my head when I heard the news that it was decided to be held in Tokyo and saw Yuki Ota, who expressed joy with his face swaying.

The Tokyo Olympics in 1964 were celebrated as a first-year elementary school student.

In the school auditorium, he sang loudly, waving a national flag.

Even now, humming is a song that is strongly engraved in consciousness.

My father, who watched the scene where the Hinomaru flag was displayed on the center pole on TV, embraced me while wiping tears, can also be remembered in distant memories.

 

Of course, I tried to add 7 to my age.

It's a feeling of excitement.

I would like to take this opportunity to see the competition directly.

I want to be involved in the Tokyo Olympics in some way, even as a volunteer or anything.

I thought so honestly.

 

According to the plan for 2020, a “Athlete Village” will be set up in Harumi, Chuo-ku, and will accept players and competition officials from each country.

One of the keywords is "O-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Shi".

We welcome many people across the sea, airports, harbors, and railway terminals.

Tokyo Station is the main destination for domestic travel.

A new pick-up facility is waiting for the opening.

Following the Marunouchi Exit, where the red brick station building has been restored, a large roof of the Grand Roof and a pedistorian deck will be completed and opened on Friday, September 20 at Yaesu Exit.

 

　(The location of Tokyo Station is located in Chiyoda-ku, bordering Sotobori-dori St...

　　Looking at the landscape, I write while thinking that it is safe. )

 

The gateway to Tokyo's main street, following Yaesu, Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, and Ginza, is well positioned.

A large roof like a sail of a sailing ship, like a water bird's feather, spreading its wings in the direction of the athlete village.

This large roof, Grand Roof, is based on the motif of "Sail of Light".

Modern design creates a cityscape that symbolizes advancedness and advancedness.

Greening walls, dry mist equipment, planting using rainwater and medium water to promote ecology.

A variety of commercial facilities will also open, and information transmission will increase.

As the pedistorian deck as the connection part of the ground, as well as the connection part that spreads underground, the migration will be further improved.

A traffic plaza with a taxi pool and bus Bath is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014.

 

How does a terminal with such a design look to the eyes of customers coming from overseas?

For some reason, why does everything feel like a stepping stone for 2020 come from the feeling of excitement that still continues?
