This is Japanese Hospitality, "Omotenashi".

[Silver] April 7, 2017 18:00

One evening, around 5 o'clock, it was a day when it rained and the flowers cooled.

When I got off the Edo bus at Chuo-ku government office, a foreign family was operating a smartphone in some trouble.

"Excuse me. When I say May I help you, I say the name of a hotel that I don't know. The map displayed on the smartphone is not clear.

Then, please lend me your mobile phone. It was because I checked with the hotel people in Japanese.

I'm not sure if I call a woman at the hotel and ask her exact address and landmarks.

"In a group of Americans named Tally, two couples and two kids are at the front entrance of the Chuo-ku government office. It's raining and I don't have an umbrella, so please come and pick me up. " When I was talking about the new president's villa in their hometown for about five minutes with Mr. Tally, a woman from the hotel picked me up with an umbrella.

 I am very pleased with the actions of a woman who appeared with an umbrella with a quick action, and repeated "This is Japanese hospitality, Omotenashi" many times.

A smile party and a woman at the hotel fit in my camera.

I am proud of the Japanese culture where such kind behavior continues. Ginzo

[Silver] April 7, 2017 18:00

 "Bira Bianchi" on the first floor of Kyobashi Edgran, the same as the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center in Kyobashi, is a delicious restaurant for Beef steak, bisticker & Naples in Italian.

I took a photo after obtaining permission from the shop, "Can I take a picture of the food?"

The amount of wine from the second cup has increased a lot.

It was quickly filled with young people working in the Kyobashi area. The friendly staff's reception will attract repeaters. One more thing, my favorites have increased.

This declaration of full bloom was one day earlier than normal and two days later than last year.

However, this declaration of "full bloom" is said to be issued when it is confirmed that more than 80% of the specimen trees on the precincts of Yasukuni Shrine (Chiyoda-ku) are blooming, and it is true that as of today (April 4) However, there are still flowers in buds.

Here, Kyobashi Park is a municipal park adjacent to Kyobashi Plaza, surrounded by buildings, creating a hideout atmosphere.

The cherry blossoms here are also in full bloom and are very beautiful.

Usually, at lunchtime, businessmen taking lunch on benches and resting are noticeable, but today people for cherry-blossom viewing gathered to see cherry blossoms and take pictures.
