Nihonbashi Junior High School

[Satoken] August 31, 2014 17:32

On the last day of August, I walked around the Higashinihombashi area. It is a historic junior high school located along the Sumida River and near the Yagenbori fudoson.

The brass band is famous and often appears at ward events.

In front of the school, it is named Miyuki Street. For Ginza, go to "Miyuki Street"

It's different, isn't it?

Schools in Chuo-ku seem to have a long history and many interesting things.

Goldfish because of the remaining heat

[Koedo Itabashi] August 27, 2014 11:00

Even if you wake up from the throat of a nap, your body that has been over hit by the heat cannot easily get up.

As I had an early evening meal and was lying around, my feelings finally shifted to the remaining time on the precious holiday.

Do you have any events that will be in time for you to go in the future?

It's not a goldfish connection that I wake up from a nap, but what about the night aquarium in Cored Muromachi?

If you pull out the collected pamphlets, the final entrance is 23:00 and it is open until 23:30.

I have enough time to enjoy it.

 

The aquarium will be held until September 23.

Open at 11:00 and until 19:00, "Art Aquarium" is open.

From 19:00, you can enjoy two different productions with the composition of "Night Aquarium".

You can also enjoy paid drinks at night in the venue.

Walking in pale light with a bottle or cocktail glass in one hand, you can immerse yourself in a stretched adult mood.

 

Is there a way to show such a flock of goldfish?

・・I'm surprised.

The diversity of aquariums indicates the high level of glass technology in Japan.

"Nitrate bacteria cultured at high-speed high concentrations." For the first time, I learned that it is the leading role in the shadow that purifies water and directs this aquarium.

The ancestors who have poured deep affection and passion into the mutation red goldfish and nurtured a style culture of celebrating goldfish.

It is a figure where the rich culture of the Edo period and the skills of playfulness are fruitful.

Since it was a peaceful era without war, I could have concentrated on cultivating goldfish.

 

Because of the night, many of the visitors were accompanied by two.

She is leaning on the edge of the aquarium and looking up a little over her eyes. You know the gesture that looks beautiful.

A boyfriend taking a picture in one hand of a bottle with a glittering water tank in the background. You're handsome enough.

That's right. You are talking to the goldfish in the aquarium while sitting alone. You look tired. Please have him heal.

 

My eyes were used to the dim space with the lights turned off, and the flow of the aquarium and the water were distinguished.

The overflowing sound and light give you a pleasant feeling of uplift.

Music may have created a different Japanese atmosphere by incorporating not only the sounds of synthesizers, but also the sounds of nature and classical instruments.

The girlfriends the fluttered silk skirt and walks fast.

"I'm sure this is more cute than the Goldfish!"

If you were a five-year-old Shinnosuke, he went out to the street, thinking that he would say so.

 

The surrounding commercial facilities were lit up and large goodwill, giving the historical atmosphere of Nihonbashi.

The summer light-up is an event until August 31st.

 

 

[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #02: Bakery Cafe with a nursing room (Kyobashi)

[Dye] August 26, 2014 17:00

There are a lot of things to worry about when going out with children.

"Is there a place where I can change diapers?..."Where should I breastfeed if I cry on the way?"...」

I think there are many things to worry about.

 

In Ginza and Nihonbashi, if you run into a department store in case of emergency, you can manage it.

This time, I would like to introduce a bakery cafe near the nursing room in the slightly secret Kyobashi area.

 

This is GGCo. Cafe & Bakery, located in the Kyobashi Trust Tower.

s06_01.jpg s06_02.jpg

 

It is located on the first floor of the hotel Courtyard by Marriott Tokyo Station, which opened in April 2014.

It is located along Chuo-dori between Ginza and Nihonbashi, a 1-minute walk from Kyobashi Station on the Ginza Line and a 4-minute walk from the south exit of Yaesu Station on the JR Tokyo Station.

 

The nursing room is located at the entrance of the Kyobashi Trust Tower, and on the left at the end of the glass.

The inside is like this. There is also hot water. There's also a baby carriage.

s06_05.jpg s06_06.jpg 

 

There is only one place, so if you are in use, I'm waiting in line, but when I went several times on weekdays afternoon, it was usually vacant.

 

This nursing room is also registered as "Baby / Flatto", so some of you may already know it, but it is relatively vacant and beautiful, and the cafe in the same building is also open terrace It has a wonderful atmosphere.

However, delicious chocolate is easy to dissolve! Be careful if you eat on a date (laughs).

 

If you look at each of the following sites, the cafe is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, but the nursing room can be used from 6:30 to 25:00 every day except on days when the building is closed.

 

I recommend it when you want to take a break.

Recommendations for Free Study of Money Museum & Information on Renewal Closed

[Silver] August 22, 2014 09:00

 

 On August 19, after visiting Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, Heidai Shoran, and Nabashi Nihonbashi, we visited the Money Museum in front of the Bank of Japan with families with children during the summer vacation.

At the Money Museum, you can learn about money by displaying Japanese currency and foreign currency.

Photography inside the museum is prohibited, but it is a very useful material.

You can get printed materials such as "Currently valid banknotes", "Currently valid currency", "Koza Site and Bank of Japan", "The Origin of the yen", "Edo period money system", etc.

I was able to receive explanatory materials, and it was a great study. I think it is very useful for children's free study.
 
The money museum will be renewed.

The museum will be temporarily closed from December 29, 2014 to around November 2015 (planned).

 

For details, please refer to the website of the Currency Museum (Notice of temporary closure).

 

 

 

Challenge <Take Matsuya Onoe, Kabuki Independent Performance>

[whatever] August 15, 2014 14:00

 On August 13, when the return rush during the Bon holiday peaked, Matsuya Onoe's independent performance "Challenge" celebrated its first day at Nihonbashi Public Hall Nihonbashi Theater (until the 15th). It seems that this year will be the sixth year. The first day is a performance. It started at 17:30.
idomu1.jpg
 I went inside almost at the same time as the opening time and watched the flowers and posters in the lobby. I found Matsuya's mother. I was greeted by the people involved. I think it's a great job.
 idomu2.jpgAnd "Perin Anmitsu" produced by Matsuya-san, in collaboration with "Edo Amami Shosui Tengu Tsukushi" in Ningyocho, was sold in a small soba inoguchi of Arita porcelain. It seems that 50 pieces will be sold at each performance, but it seems that you can purchase them at the store after all the performances are over (advance reservation required). August 16-31.

***

 First of all, from your mouth. Matsuya explained the performance and its highlights. By the way, this time, I was able to take a seat right next to Hanamichi. "I wish this was Kabukiza ..." A few minutes after the mouth began, the footsteps of walking along the flower path with a stagger ... What? Looking back, the late visitor crossed the flower path without hesitation and sat in his seat. Certainly, it's not a theater dedicated to Kabuki or a small theater, but it's unlikely that you will walk on the flower path. In this case, I asked myself, "Is the Kabukiza just too long for May?", And asked myself, who was upset by an unexpected event, but I am not wondering why there was no guidance from the staff. Mr. Matsuya on the way to the mouth seemed to be a little surprised, but recently, those who are making a noise with something, of course, finished their mouth without delay, and it was the beginning.

 The first performance is "Twinchokuruwaniki Hikimado".
 As I explained in my mouth that the "drawing window" attached to the roof to capture the outside light and the "Chozubachi" placed in the garden would be the key, there was a scene where I was surprised, expressing the compassion and affection of this work.

 The second performance is the “festival” set in Edo town, which is crowded with the “Sanno Festival” at Akasaka Hie-jinja Shrine.
 When I saw the same performance by Nizaemon Kataoka at Kabukiza June Daikabuki, it was a return performance, so it was very gorgeous, and it was new to my memory that the stage and the audience were united. However, today's "festival" also features entertainers and young people who performed Tokumatsu Onoue and Yoshiya Uemura, who danced the stage and Kazuto Onoue.
 There was also a lottery during the intermission, and the production that did not get tired delighted the audience. Unfortunately, I didn't hit anything ...

 Click here for the schedule of Nihonbashi Public Hall in August. There are several Kabuki events, but this month I already went to the Kabukiza Theater and I've endure Gaman ...

 Kabuki is fun.

Jushiyu, and Tokyo sento pilgrimage

[Ryokichi] August 15, 2014 09:00

This time, I went to Jushiyu in Jushi Square (annex).

There was an article introducing a newly built public bath, but I would like to write about the visit to Jushiyu from a slightly different perspective.

IMG_6321.jpg

 

A public bath that can be refreshed on a sultry summer evening is the best. It is said that there were more than 2,000 public baths in Tokyo, but I heard that it has now been less than 800. I hear the story of closing the store almost every month. It may not be stopped in the course of the times, but as a public bath lover, I felt sad. Meanwhile, it is very nice news that a new public bath has opened in Chuo-ku.

 

In fact, I am also a public bath enthusiast who is steadily promoting the pilgrimage to the Tokyo public bath pilgrimage, which is the stamp rally of a public bath belonging to the public bath association in Tokyo (Tokyo public bath business hygiene association).

This stamp rally mount comes with you when you buy the "Tokyo Sento Burari Onsen tour Map", which is sold at a public bath for 300 yen. The Onsen tour Map has plenty of maps and information on public baths in Tokyo, which is very convenient for visiting.

 

The Onsen tour map shows that there are 10 public baths in Chuo-ku so far. In addition, each public bath has a pilgrimage number. Kinharuyu is Chuo-ku No. 1 and Kachidoki Yu is Chuo-ku No. 11. No. 6 responded to Kimura Yu, which has gone out of business.

IMG_6323.jpg

And this time, Jushiyu was 12th in Chuo-ku. I got the stamp firmly as shown in the picture. This is the whole public bath in Chuo-ku. Take a bath with a sense of satisfaction.

 

The public bath may be new, and it looks like a large bath like a hotel. I feel calm. Jisshi Park is a place of sad history where many people, including Yoshida Shoin, died during the Edo period, but now it has become a place where peaceful baths can heal the tiredness of the ukiyo.

IMG_6317.jpg

 

Since then, I have been on a pilgrimage to public baths in Tokyo.

It's still long, but it's almost 400 houses. The path to enlightenment is still far away.
