On a sunny holiday, go to Triton for relief.
From time to time, while slowly flowing down the Sumida River shore by bicycle, I come to Triton in Harumi from Tsukuda through Tsukishima.
Here Harumi Triton is based on the concept of "the three beautiful harmony of work, play, and residence", and it is said that it was created with the naming of the Greek mythological sea god Triton from the location of the sea town Harumi. It is very easy and open despite a high-class atmosphere reminiscent of a hotel resort in the Mediterranean.
On holidays, most of the guests are thought to be neighbors, never too crowded, and there is a feeling of "modern version of downtown" where the same space is shared as a place for relaxation, so to speak, it is comfortable and relieved .
This time, we will introduce a part of the "play" area where anyone can enter freely from a number of facilities.
<External 1F: Water terrace (top photo)＞
On a clear day, it is full of cheers from children playing in the fountain.
<External 2F: Flower terrace and green terrace (upper left, lower, photo)＞
Garden space. The well-maintained flowers show a pretty appearance every season. Especially in this early summer, it is in full bloom.
<Internal 2nd floor: Mythical square (lower left and lower photo)＞
There are shopping and restaurant areas on the 1st to 3rd floors, and on the 2nd floor God's Square, ceiling paintings with Greek mythology motifs and floor tiles depicting tritons of half-fishing create a mysterious atmosphere.

The Spanish Bar has recently become popular, and this is also a must-book shop on Monday, when flamenco live is held.
The exterior is a warehouse, but inside gives the impression that it brought the Spanish atmosphere as it is.
Not only Spain's specialty Paerilla, but also Hammon Iberico (Iberico pig's raw ham) in the photo is exquisite.
Spanish and Portuguese cuisine uses a lot of seafood, so it feels familiar to Japanese people in Europe and the United States.
The flamenco live is also worth a look.

The highest peak of landscape painting is Hiroshige Utagawa, an ukiyo-e artist from the late Edo period, depicting the masterpiece "53rd Tokaido".
His gentle style of painting softens the mind of what he sees.
More than 150 years after his death.
On a peaceful Sunday in June, today's Hiroshige appears here on Tsukuda Island.
Tsukuda Kobashi, Funadamari, Tsukuda Park.
This downtown appearance will touch the koto line of Sunday painters. I'm quietly talking with my favorite painting book with my desired touch.
Watching Hiroshige on Tsukuda Island carrying brushes on a day of the sun, this space is separated from other hustle and bustle, and it seems that time flows slowly there.
The surrounding area has completely changed with ultra-high-rise apartments.
This area, which retains the remnants of the Showa era and invites nostalgia, does not seem to release the hearts of landscape painters on holidays.
