 "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2015" held on November 1st.

One of the popular events is the “ship operation” where you can enjoy the rich waterside and waterside of Chuo-ku on a free ship.

①In addition to the Nihonbashi tour route, (2) the Akashicho waterside line tour route, (3) the Hamacho / Harumi route, and (4) the Nihonbashi / Harumi route are organized, but the Nihonbashi tour route is particularly easy.

With the Nihonbashi Pier at the departure and departure point, turn back at Nihonbashi-Edobashi-Amiribashi-Kayababashi, and return again at Nishikawabashi Bridge. Until around 40 (planned) about 1 flight every 15 minutes from any time.

Wear a belt-type life jacket and enjoy the appearance of the neighborhood that retains the remnants of Edo from a different river surface guided by the river guide.

One of the real pleasures of river cruises is that you can enjoy the modeling behind the bridge that you can't usually see.

The structure of "Edobashi", in which the rivets are packed in a row, is spectacular and you can feel the profound beauty of modeling.

Recently, it seems that paint writing on the side has increased, but the nameplates of "Armor Bridge" and "Nishikawabashi Bridge" from the line of sight from the ship are still tasteful.

It's a time to learn more about the historical waterside assets.

 

 

Muromachi Tavern [Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 13, 2015 09:00

White tents and red Japanese lantern are located on the roof terrace of the main building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

It is "Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Muromachi Tavern".

It is said that it will be open until Sunday, November 29 for a limited time.

mitsuak12.JPG 

In a white tent, a warm menu and an all-you-can-drink plan are available.

"Gyunabe", "sumo wrestlers' hot pot" and "Japanese-style buffet" are fascinating.

Speaking of eating and drinking on the rooftop of a building, I came to mind the summer beer garden, but it was said that this was used during this season.

mitsuak11.JPG 

Business hours are from 18:00 to 21:00 on weekdays, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, two copies are replaced, from 12:00 to 15:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00. That's right.

mitsuak14.JPG 

During the daytime on weekdays, I stopped by for another business, so I didn't open yet, but I would like to add it to this season when it gets chilly, going home from work or one of the options to stop by with my colleagues.

Walk through the ward 2 outer moat River

[Shiraji] Nov. 13, 2015 09:00

 Since the reclaimed alley of the Ryuka River is the ward boundary between Chiyoda-ku and Chuo-ku, this time we will walk along the Sotobori-dori St. from the estuary where the Ryuka River connects to Nihonbashi.
There is no road along the Nihonbashi River to Tokiwa Bridge, even though it is not well-maintained along the river, so you will walk along Sotobori-dori St.

 Tokiwa Bridge. JPG

 

  After Tokiwa Bridge, the Nihonbashi River turns greatly to the left, and the ward border with Chiyoda-ku crosses Ichiishi Bridge to become the former Soto Horikawa.

One stone bridge. JPG

 

 Originally, it is natural to have Chiyoda-ku on the west side of Sotobori-dori St. and Chuo-ku on the east side. However, the outer moat River used to be located on the west side of Sotobori-dori St., along the Sotobori-dori St., and since the center line is the ward, a part of the west side of Sotobori-dori St. (part facing Sotobori-dori St.) is in Chuo-ku.

 In fact, at the Daiichi No. 2 Steel Building (currently under construction) to the north of Tokyo Station, the ward world passes through the building, and it seems that Yaesu 1-chome 10th and 11th blocks are set.
The address of the steel building is Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, but strictly speaking, the entrance along Sotobori-dori St. is Haz in Chuo-ku.

 There are several buildings built on the reclaimed land of the outer moat River from Ichiishibashi to Kajibashi, but there is no indication of the address of the building at all along Sotobori-dori St. Is there any hesitation or hesitation in displaying this as Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku in the part of Chuo-ku?

 This can be seen by passing the blacksmith bridge and eventually the highway appears on the ground.

 The "Tokyo Kosoku Doro" building is built on the reclaimed Soto Horikawa, where the top is used as a road and the bottom is used for shopping, and the road is hidden underground from the Kaji Bridge and invisible.

 

 Ginza inz.JPG In other words, the buildings with shopping malls such as "GINZA INZ 123", "NISI GINZA" and "GINZA 5" were built on the ward of Soto Horikawa, and are now an extra area without an address.
 However, there is no resident registration in this area and there is no problem such as resident tax paid to the ward, and there is no problem even if you do not specify an address because it is only a business establishment.

 By the way, the fire department and the police have jurisdiction for each commercial facility. In the case of "NISHI GINZA", the fire department is Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, and the police are under the jurisdiction of Tsukiji, Chuo-ku.
 In addition, mail arrives at the convenience address "4-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku" for postal mail.
"GINZA INZ" is "2-2 Ginza west, Chuo-ku" (currently there is no indication of Ginza west.)
"GINZA 9" is "8-10 Ginza, Chuo-ku", and Ginza may be attractive even though it is a convenience address.

 
 In the past, "GINZA INZ" was a restaurant and food sales area under the name of "Yuraku Food Center", but at this time Frank Nagai's "Let's meet in Yurakucho" became a big hit, so at that time, Yurakucho had more brand power than Ginza?

 
 "NISHI GINZA", famous for the Treasure Lottery Chance Center, deals with the latest trend of clothing under the name "Nishiginza Department", and "GINZA5" deals with items such as fashionable accessories under the name "Sukiyabashi Shopping Center", and these shopping malls were such a kind of thing that could be said to be pioneer in Japan.

 Lottery Chance Center. JPG

  

 Since these shopping malls are located on the reclaimed land of the outer moat River, will the ward boundaries between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku be the center passage of these malls? Ins Shopping Mall. JPG 
 After passing through "GINZA5" and crossing Miyuki Street, the shopping mall ends and becomes "Ginza Corridor Street" lined with restaurants.

 Eventually, at the police box in Tsuchihashi, the expressway turns to the left and becomes "GINZA9".

Ginza 9.JPG 
 In the past, Soto Horikawa became the Shiodome River and was reclaimed, and "GINZA9" became the ward boundary with Minato-ku.

 "Ginza 9-chome Mizukami" sung by a singer named Ichiro Kanbe in the 1980s became a big hit, but "GINZA9" was not given from there, and was initially named "Shimbashi Center". After all, it was attached because Shimbashi Station is close.
 In fact, it seems that there were many small izakayas that served as hangouts for office workers in Shimbashi.
 At present, there are many shops dealing with dresses of luxury bar moms and hostess in Ginza.

 "GINZA9" also ends on Showa-dori, and the elevated capital city that passes through Kaigan-dori and above becomes a ward border with Minato-ku along the Hamarikyu Garden, and from Shiodome River to Tokyo Bay, Harumi Canal from Harumi Wharf to Toyosu, Koto-ku It becomes the ward boundary with. 。

"Kyobashi Hill" matures! Tokyo Square Garden

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] November 12, 2015 12:00

Two years ago, in the spring of Kyobashi 3-chome, Tokyo Square Garden, 24 floors above ground and 4 floors below ground, was completed.

kyooka11.JPG 

At the time of construction, it was spotlighted as a large complex building that contributed to the cool-down of the city center and the formation of the "wind path" from Tokyo Bay to the Imperial Palace.

kyooka12.JPG 

From that time on, I thought it was a building full of "green"

kyooka13.JPG 

Two years have passed since then, I feel that the "green" has matured more and more.

kyooka14.JPG 

In the low-rise area from the first basement floor to the fifth floor above the ground, the hills with plantings of about 3,000 m2 are overflowing with the "green" of "Kyobashi Hill".

kyooka15.JPG 

It's hard to say "formation of a comfortable urban environment", but if there is a lot of "green", it's definitely pleasant.

"Yes! Let's become a Bodhisattva" [Nara Mahoroba-kan]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 11, 2015 18:00

On November 9th (Monday), I attended the Nanto Hotakai held at Nara Mahoroba-kan (1-6-2 Nihonbashi Muromachi 162 Building).

The story of the day was Takashi Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple.

bosatsu11.JPG 

The Nanto Hotakai is a subtitle called "Nara no Mind" taught by young Buddhist monk, a famous temple in Nara, where you can listen to stories from Buddhist monk at temples such as Todaiji Temple, Saidaiji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Yakushi-ji Temple.

The time is one and a half hours from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, and the place is on the second floor of the Nara Mahoroba Hall.

The capacity is 70 people each time, and it is a method of applying for attendance in advance. If there are many applicants, it will be a lottery.

This time, Mr. Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple, which was opened by Kanshin Kazumi in 759, the headquarters of Ritsu sect, heard a very interesting story about training and commandment with the title of "Let's Become a Bodhisattva" with an outstanding impact. Was.

At the Nara Mahoroba Hall, there are many events where visitors can learn about Nara's charms, including lectures on the history of those days through Prince Shotoku, lectures introducing Yoshino Omine in World Heritage, and classrooms in Japanese painting and sutra copying.

In addition, on the day of the event, the exhibition space on the first floor introduced Shimoichi Town and Kurotaki Village, and exhibited special products.

Ting Ting Pong Pong@OM CHAN TONE Whole Museum 2015

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2015 18:00

 One of the events of the whole museum 2015.
Ting Ting Pong Pong (OM CHAN TONE)
Held at OM CHAN TONE in Kishi Building 4-11 Nihonbashi Tomizawacho.

I visited the shop for the first time in a cafe bar, but when I was kind to respond and asked why rare Awa Tokushima liquor was there, it was a talk with my hometown.
I ordered a soft drink and enjoyed "Kendama" with the lady who just came. 

20151101 099.JPG

A good word was written on Kendama that was presented by the chairman of the Kendama Association, so I will introduce it.

20151101 102.JPG
"I don't panic, don't give up."


When I heard the story, the women also introduced the whole museum at the museum.
<The topic "Professional Support Group", Pompon Musume, is coming to the whole museum in Chuo-ku! On the spot, if you tell us what you want to support, Pompon Musume will support you with all your might! ・・・>I heard you came here after seeing it.
The lady went up to the second floor with support.


I also filled out my name and "what I want you to support" on the application form and waited for a while.
It responds individually to each visitor's "what you want to support". It's like a doctor. When I was called and sat on the sofa on the second floor, four very energetic daughters rushed in.
First of all, starting with an ale saying, "Celebrate Ginzo's more health-", like support for high school baseball, Zhanjiang Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha, Zhanjiang Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha, Chacha Chacha Chacharacha, and cheer dance. Was.

 Despite being overwhelmed, I was radiated a lot of energy, and I was completely fine. After the support was over, four people made a gate and sent it off.

20151101 118.JPG

 Everyone, when you feel blocked, it's a good idea to go to Pompon's daughter. I'm going to get better. 

It is a silver made that has become a fan of Ting Pong Pong. OM CHAN TONE, please plan again next year.

It seems that Pompon Musume is not stationed, but the telephone at the shop is 03-6206-2626, URL: http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~omchantone.
