Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The Kyobashi Edgran, a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Station and directly connected to Kyobashi Station on the Ginza Line, opened its grand opening on November 25.

・

The Meijiya Kyobashi Building, Historic buildings in Tangible Cultural Property designated by Chuo-ku, was preserved and restored.

・

There are a wide variety of Italian, sushi, soba, ethnic, Chinese and yakiniku stores, including the large flagship store of Toshi Yoroizuka Tokyo.

・

・

In addition, a facility has been opened on the first basement floor to serve as a base for providing tourism information in Chuo-ku.

It plays a role in collecting and transmitting tourist information in multiple languages and local tourist information.

・

・

From November 25th (Fri) to 27th (Sun), a projection mapping show was held at Kyobashi Chuo Hiroba (Galleria) on the first floor, which is a feature of the facility.

・

・

Not only the ceiling, but also the three-dimensional illustrations on the ground were colored by projection mapping.

 

 

While walking near Royal Park, I found an unfamiliar sign!

If you look closely, you can see that there is a stylish cafe nearby. I went to check it out right away.

It is a take-out cafe bar mainly composed of organic food, and the name of the shop is.

"Grand-enak" (Grand Ena). It seems that it was OPEN on October 1, 2016.

There are homemade sandwiches made with bread from the long-established "Pelican" in Asakusa.

Salads made with fresh vegetables sent directly from the production area, green smoothies,

Eggs, butter, macrobiotic muffins that do not use any white sugar, etc.

The products are carefully handcrafted one by one.

It's not only delicious, but also good for your body!　It's a very nice shop.

Beans of Seichiro Coffee (the store in front of Suitengu was closed in July this year)

It seems that there is also a coffee using it and a lunch box only on weekdays.

It is located close to Suitengu and Royal Park Hotel.

When you come near you!

Did you go to the "Fukutoku no Mori" that opened in September?

The area around Fukutoku Shrine (Mebuki Inari) next to Colled Muromachi has been transformed into a green park with stages and cafes! It is very popular as an urban oasis because of its small quality.

　
It's the forest of Fukutoku...

　
Here!

The light-up at night is very fantasy.

Due to the fairy tale, it is a glittering shrine that is rarely seen in Tokyo today....！

The office is closed, but worship is possible. Currently, illumination art called "Wish Forest" is being held here. The shooting stars flowing over Tokyo in real time will be shown as illuminations....It's a romantic event. There is also a message system that sends wishes to the stars! It seems that there is also a collaboration project with Rara Kiki.

I'm doing it until the beginning of the year. For details, please check the official website.

Nihonbashi continues to be redeveloped, but at night it will be a very beautiful and mysterious space, including the lights of construction.

Please walk around the alleys here and there. You can see a completely different face from daytime. Even if you walk like that at night, it is safe and there is a station here and there, so it is hard to get lost.

By the way, the cafe "Mebuki Chaya" is attached to the forest of Fukutoku.

It is a very recommended cafe with calmness and reasonable price. This is a affiliated store of "Nihonbashi Information Center" located underground choledo, and Mikado Coffee, Yamamotoyama Sencha, and Imagawa ware bean paste are authentic tastes that use traditional Nihonbashi products. There are salads and Delhi too.

Mebukimaki (Onari-san) is small and sold out quickly, so if you want it, it may be better to go by noon!

Imagawa ware is like this. It's delicious....！

Various events are held on this stage next to the teahouse.

It will be cold from now on, but please come and visit the glittering Fukutoku Forest in Nihonbashi.

 

 

　On November 25, "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St." (Sotobori-dori St.-Showa-dori) and "Yaesu Nakadori" (Eitai-dori St.-Yaesu-dori) are illuminated at the annual end of the year.

The cherry trees facing each intersection of "Sakura-dori St." are decorated with white LEDs to express the gate of light by overlapping with the branches that have grown greatly. The cherry trees between the intersections are decorated with champagne gold LEDs, and are connected by elegant light to connect the gate to the gate.

On the street lights of Nakadori, an illumination motif inspired by one of the Edo Kiriko patterns, "Kikuriko patterns".

In addition, in the open space of the Yaesu Center Building, there is a graphic sheet with Edo Komon pattern that displays the concept of planning, organizers and illuminations.

Date: From November 25 to February 14, 2017

16:30～23:00

This year's theme is "From" smart "to" IKI "".

Now that the uniqueness of Japan is attracting even more attention ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, I heard that I want you to think about the old and new town "Yaesu Nihonbashi" that turns Edo's "IKI" into the world.

Edo kid's temperament whose main territory is "Iki" and "Patting". It has prospered as a center of commerce and culture since the Edo period, and is suitable for transmitting the charm of the area where tradition and newness coexist.

On the first day, a lighting ceremony was held in front of the Yaesu Center Building from 18:00.

 

 

　

　"NIHONBASHI-Wish Forest" opens at "Fukutoku no Mori", which opened on November 25 and September 28.

Date: From November 25 to January 9, 2017 17:00 to 23:00

"A shooting star" is a phenomenon in which dust with a diameter of several mm to several cm drifting in the solar system air enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 10 km / second. Although it is difficult to see in the city sky, it seems that it is detected every 10 to 15 minutes over Japan. Illumination Art Project, which uses a real-time meteor observation system developed by Basqueur to detect a shooting star, changes the production of forest light in conjunction with real time.

The reason for the world's first illumination production with natural phenomena and technology.

In addition, in line with the legend that "If you sing a wish to a flowing star three times, your wish will come true", a "wish display" will be installed at the venue, and the wish posted from the special site will be projected three times when the shooting star appears. It seems that there is a chance to reach a "frame of stars (coupons available at surrounding facilities)" on the smartphone that posted the wish.

During this period, I heard that special events are also planned to match the timing of the astronomical phenomena of the Gemini meteor shower (December) and the Gemini meteor shower (January).　

　

 

 

　On November 25, many new shops opened in Kyobashi Edgran.

The shop of "Toshi Yoroizuka Tokyo" was filled with flowers from entertainment-related people.　

What is "TAVERNA UOKIN" next door, "Don't eat even though it's a restaurant"?

TAVERNA is an izakaya in Italian and Greek, isn't it? A lot of flowers were also delivered here.

　

Well, it's an interesting opening information.

In Blue Papaya Thailand, until November 30, the first 300 people will be able to receive a "Taimon tribe mini-mini pouch" as an opening commemorative gift. And for dinner time only, Taiwa-in or soft drink glass service.

　Until December 4th, Villa Bianchi offers a weekly plate lunch of ￥1,000 for ￥800, and at the dinner a la carte, it seems that you can get a half price for 20-month-old Iberico pork and a half price for glass sparkling wine.

　We don't have any special discount prices or gifts.

Tokyo Gyoza Tower is a specialty store specializing in "Gyoza", with six baked gyoza and water gyoza and a price that is friendly to the common people of ￥290. Of course, we also have a slightly higher gyoza.

At the Curry shop, C&C Dining, you can eat and drink at night, Dinner Menu is abundant, and Highball & Beer is very cheap. I'm glad that the highballs are ￥290 and the draft beer jockey is ￥340.　Let's enjoy Kyobashi !

　After purchasing the information of the shop, I stopped by the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center.

　IT told me, "Today, you can see 3D art and projection mapping."　That's right!　I had forgotten the main purpose.　The video didn't fit well in the photo, but could the atmosphere be conveyed?
