Winter illuminations
In December, the night of the downtown area will be dazzling with illuminations. It is not admirable to the sparkle around Ginza, but winter illuminations are also shining in the neighborhood Hakozaki Park.

On winter nights, the number of walking people decreases, so it is safe to have a place that illuminates your feet.
By the way, there is a statue of Shoin Yoshida in this park. I thought, "Matsukage in Hakozaki-cho?", But there is a signboard explaining the origin of the statue. It was built at the request of Mitsuko Iwai, a sixth-year student at Hiroko Hakozaki Elementary School, who died of illness at the end of 1937. I was impressed by someone's way of life in sixth grade ... I was impressed by Mitsuko Iwai.

The Royal Park Hotel is a few minutes walk from Hakozaki Park. This is also welcoming customers with the illuminations of the New Year.
Last year, I met Santa Claus who came from Finland, but if I thought I could meet again this year ...
I was able to meet you

This is "Japanese lantern Illumination" on Ningyocho Street. Isn't it? Until January 17th, vague lights illuminate the street at night.
Echizenbori Park
There is Echizenbori Park near my home. It's in front of Akimasa Elementary School, which is under construction. The surrounding area is surrounded by buildings, etc., but the day was lit and it was pleasant. Although it is about a medium size, there is also a ball game area surrounded by fences, swings, sandboxes, and benches. You can also enjoy the stone of Echizen moat, which was once excavated. What is the elephant's pool? During the summer vacation, children play in the water under the supervision of volunteers.
This time, I would like to introduce the trees that suddenly caught my eye.
What a persimmon tree or mandarin orange in the middle of the city? There was a tree. It's probably because the leaves fell and became easier to see. Because it is in the park, is the owner Chuo-ku? I was surprised, and there was also a fine ginkgo tree with no leaves yet. It's a good idea to sit on a sunny bench and spend a relaxing time with a paperback book or a beer in hand. The children in the neighborhood are playing well.
Int'l Exchange Party 2013 by CCIEA Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association Gathering of International Exchange 2013
Gathering of International Exchange 2013 was held on November 16 at Tsukiji Social Education Center. It was a very fun event, so I would like to report it to everyone. First of all, I would like to finish the reception on the first floor and go down to each floor from the fourth floor. The first thing I visited was Indian curry, Sri Lankan milk tea and Japanese cuisine. I thought it was a fee, but it was all free and delicious Indian curry, kenchin zoni, and Sri Lankan milk tea. Curry was a very mild and delicious curry, with people working at Curry House Aiman in 1-2-10 Irifune, Chuo-ku serving and serving. We also participated in disaster prevention corner and international exchange salon (air Japanese calligraphy experience). There was also an introduction to the sister city of Sutherland, Australia.
On the 3rd floor, there were ink painting, origami, furoshiki wrapping experience, tea ceremony experience, ikebana experience, dressing, etc. Everyone, it was serious, but it seemed fun. Well, I came to the 2nd floor. Today, I've been looking forward to the Brazilian dance Samba. But I didn't check the time, so it's just over! I re-evaluated and participated in the next Bon Odori, Salsa, in the uniform of the Brazilian national team. This was very fun, such as the Bon Dance in Edo and the coal mines. After that, Salsa was able to dance happily with a feeling of zirva. Salsa's last song, Tchao, was a samba song, so I decided to dance all three. On the same 2nd floor, there was also an experience of dressing Indian costumes and sally, and young women were shining brightly. Also, when I went up to the 4th floor again, I met a young man from Mexico who came to Japan to learn karate and Kobudo. He was able to speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, and a little Japanese, and it was a very fun encounter. Would you like to have fun participating in international exchange? This event of the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association is held every year. Also, fun events are held during the Christmas season. The Christmas event will be held on December 14, so please check the following URL for details. Keep watching the following URL. http://www.chuo-ci.jp/
