[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #04: A movie theater with a baby (Nihonbashimuro-cho)

[Dye] October 29, 2014 09:00

Before giving birth, a senior daddy mom advised, "If you have a child, it is difficult to watch a movie and eat ramen at a movie theater, so it is good to enjoy it now." I remember that.

But now, even with babies, you can watch movies at movie theaters! !

So, I went to TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi in COREDO Muromachi 2.

 

s08_01.JPG s08_02.jpg

Choledo Muromachi 1 and 3 are along Chuo-dori, and 2 is just one from the street.

The movie theater is on the 3rd to 6th floors.

 

At TOHO CINEMAS, a screening called "Mama's Club Theater" is held about once or twice a month on Thursday that can be taken with a baby.

Lighting slightly brighter, low volume, and above all, even if the baby crys, it's like each other, and I'm really grateful that you are free to enter and exit and have no hesitation.

 

The screenings vary from theater to theater, but at TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi in October, they were "Chinekiyori Love" and "Grace of Monaco's trump card".

A while ago, "Ana and the Queen of Snow" was screened, I tried to cunkyun on the mountain P, suddenly thinking about women's way of life, and it has a rich lineup.

 

I have been horrified by the beauty of Nicole Kidman at the trump card of Queen Grace of Monaco.

Speaking of which, Nikor Kidman and Grace Kelly are moms, aren't they?

Although his position is different, he had a lot of sympathy points as the same woman, and while holding my child, I watched it closely.

 

On the other hand, Mr. Chibi finally fell asleep while he was mozzling on his knees, occasionally cascading, and staring at the screen.

And the walking child was crossing the bottom of the screen, and it was very smiling.

This is also unique to Mama's Club Theater (*^^*)

 

I can't take pictures during the movie, so I may not be able to convey the atmosphere very much, but I'll introduce some things.

It is easy to hold because it is on the tension tray that rises in the snack corner.

Let's enter.

 

s08_06.jpg s08_07.jpg

There is a parking lot. There is also a child seat.

The screening ended. It might be convenient to have a baby strap. The staff is also kind.

 

Well, about nursing rooms, etc.

There are diaper changing tables in various places in the bathroom in the movie theater.

s08_09.jpg s08_10.jpg 

There is no nursing room in the movie theater, so use a multi-purpose restroom or a seat (dim during the movie, it was quite vacant when I went and there were only women, so some people seemed to be doing so) I think it will be.

 

If you leave the movie theater space, there is a nursing room on the first basement floor of Choledo.

The diaper changing table is located on each floor.

Occasionally, I don't hesitate to change my mind at the movie theater.

I recommend it.

Blessed with fine autumn weather, before 10 o'clock, customers were watching the dolls from boxes in front of their favorite shops. There are 57 stores.

 The owner of a handmade shop

The doll put on hand salt seems to have the feeling of giving his child to his bride.                   

 At a long-established doll shop, Japanese-style dolls are available to customers.

 It makes you feel the tradition of Ningyocho.

There are stuffed animals, sculpture dolls, and

Frogs, Japanese racoon dog, and cats, each doll makes the viewer feel relaxed.

The weather is good on both days. Some of them are dressed in Japanese clothes.

As expected, it is the form of "Nihonbashi Ningyocho".

The doll stalls were filled with colorful costumes of many women only on this day.

 

 

Chuo-ku new discovery! Report on participation in "Town Walking Tour"

[Silver] 14:00 on October 9, 2014

 

  The Chuo-ku Tourism Association has been conducting since July, "Chuo-ku New Discovery! Do you know the "town walk tour"?
 
On August 28, I applied for an industrial course to visit long-established stores, shops and famous places.
We visited  three long-established stores founded in the Edo period, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop "Eitaro Sohonho", a lacquerware specialty store "Kuroeya", and a laver shop "Yamamoto-noriten", which developed seasoned seaweed.
At the first visit, "Eitarou Sohonho" was held.

20140828 014.JPG
I heard about the invention of Amana sugar and Kintsuba.

20140828 018.JPG

In addition, we heard stories such as "Sado's red cobblestone at the villa of the Koza Goto family" at the entrance.

20140828 016.JPG
I bought Kintsuba as a souvenir. 
On this website, you can see the story of Eitaro candy and gold brim. http://www.eitaro.com/
 
The show window at Kuroeya's storefront where I visited was decorated with giboshi in Nihonbashi, which was used during the Edo period.

20140828 010.JPG
Here, from high-quality lacquerware, our original chopsticks, Nihonbashi, is sold.

20140828 026.JPG
I purchased a business card holder with red Fuji, the thirty-six views of Mount Fuji in Katsushika Hokusai. http://www.kuroeya.com/
 
At the last visit, "Yamamoto-noriten", seaweed is collected when the plum blossoms bloom, so the circle was used as a ume company emblem, or the wall of the design of the laver spores.

20140828 037.JPG
Since the company's history and Yoko Yamamoto's TV commercials have been long-term, the Guinness Book of Records has been certified.

20140828 032.JPG

We heard a very interesting story about the ceiling expressing the frame of a boat that collects seaweed in the store's construction.

20140828 039.JPG20140828 036.JPG
It was a seaweed tasting, and we tasted the canned seaweeds designed by our granddaughter Kitty-chan, but it is a seasoning that adults can also enjoy. I bought two cans.

 The "Town Walking Tour" seems to be still being accepted. I recommend a fun walk around the town.

 This spring, when I traveled to Kanmon Straits, Kintai-kyo Bridge and Hiroshima Prefecture in Yamaguchi Prefecture, I got tourist information and maps at an antenna shop in Chuo-ku, and enjoyed a fun trip.
In Kanmon Straits, "Kanmon TOPPA! It is a commemorative certificate that obtained the "Commemorative Certificate" and passed the age of 60 safely.

And this time I will visit Urabandai and Ouchi-juku in Fukushima Prefecture.
We obtained tourist information and maps at the Yaesu Tourist Exchange Center in Fukushima 2-6-21 Yaesu on Sotobori Street.
I was told a lot about Yae no Sakura before, but recently NHK's Taiga drama series ended, so I haven't been there for a while.

 You can visit the Kyoto Museum to get information about Kyoto, and also purchase a reference book for the Kyoto Examination here.
That's right! stamp rally, the antenna shop, is it?
