Used book festival on the waterside

[The cat on the slope] August 31, 2011 09:00

At Aioi-no-Sato, which I introduced on the blog the other day, in addition to selling delicious bread from TSUKUDA bakery, Mr. Toyama, the director of the general facility, "I want to value the connection with local people," various events are being held.


One of them, I went to the Aioi Used Book Festival. I imagined a small used book exchange like a school bazaar only in the local area, but in fact I was surprised at a very full-fledged used book market! It is a used book city with a variety of quality and quantity, where unique used bookstores in Tokyo gather, and you can enjoy such used books in the neighborhood! And with my husband who loves books, I made a happy surprise voice.

The organizer is an organization called "Aioi Book Lab". I think it will be very difficult to plan and prepare, but the staff at the venue are running happily, and "events for people who like books by people who like books" It has been transmitted.

A green curtain of morning glory on the terrace. While looking at the canal, eating delicious bread, feeling cool in the green curtains, opening the book you just bought ... It's the best time.


The next event of Aioi no Sato is "Great East Japan Earthquake Charity Event Aioi Noryoichi" to be held on September 10. Japanese music workshop, Miraiminyo live, charity match for student professional wrestling, inchki hand-circled organ (What is it?) Ogura live, used books market and various faces. Let's participate by all means!

Green moisture and coolness

[Sam] August 10, 2011 13:00

R0014290S.JPG Even though the fall has passed, the harsh summer heat.

Here at Harumi Island Triton Square's "Flower Terrace", the red, orange, and yellow summer flowers that are still in full bloom under the strong sunlight are still eye-catching.

In such a season, this time we introduce the cold-colored flowers found on the terrace that feel the coolness.

This year marks the tenth year since its completion in 2001, but the three terrace spaces with the theme of flowers, greenery, and water are a place to stroll, rest, and relax for local residents and workers.

Rooftop greening, shade of trees, and the babbling of water relieves the heat and gives moisture and peace.

Please enjoy "visual coolness" for a moment.

From Nihonbashi stamp rally to Ginza

[Silver] August 4, 2011 08:30

 Last time, I talked about the red seal book, but http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2011/03/post-688.html Today, I will report the collection of stamps from there. The collection stamp is very fun, and I hope that it will be a picture diary of a child during summer vacation and a good memory. Let's leave from Nihonbashirun!

 You can also put stamps at the money museum. At the post offices in Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, and Ginza on the right, if you buy more than 50 yen stamps, you will get a wonderful postmark. Please specify this mark, please. Nihonbashi Post Office is 1-18-1 Nihonbashi, Kyobashi Post Office is 4-2-2 Tsukiji, Ginza Post Office is near Ginza Junior High School, please refer to this. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2011/03/post-652.html

Next, Kyobashi. On the left is the "Lottery Dream Hall" and on the right is the Film Center of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/author27/2011/03/

The police museum in Kyobashi. You can also wear a police officer's uniform and ride a white bike.

 If you have a silver bra and enjoy shopping and eating, put a receipt to commemorate it.

I think there are still places where you can push stamps. Make good memoriesrunrun 

 

 

Tsukishima is in a cheerful and casual back alley

[Silver] August 1, 2011 22:03

 "Genki" is a shop that I was walking behind the alleys of Tsukishima and wanted to go there for many years.

CIMG8798.jpg

 It seems that many customers come not only from the neighbors but also from Ginza, and today we came to eat "cow motsu" with wonderful couples and groups.

CIMG8797.jpg

Today I spent $1,150 for lunch, but here it costs only 1,380 yen for two cups of one cup and two cows, stewed tofu, grilled fish of throat, etc. An unpredictable landlady, he talked about visiting public baths and going east, and in fact he was the president of a certain company in Tsukiji. I'm surprised,coldsweats01 now! It means that the store will be closed around 18:00 because it is "cooperative in power saving". I recommend a beerdrink.

 

 

Retro cool <summer tradition>

[Sam] August 1, 2011 08:52

RIMG0939S.JPGR0014032GRRS.JPG  The Tsukuda Island area, which has been exempted from the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid, still retains the remnants of the site layout dating back to the Edo period.

The small houses and narrow alleys create a unique cityscape.

The greenery of flower pots, bonsai, and planters in the vacant space on the entrance and edge roads will heal your feelings, but at this time, windows and eaves are covered with blinds, reed cages and wind chimes. Water is sprayed, and the traditional coolness is produced.

This summer, when power saving is shouted, there is a feeling that not only the nostalgia of Showa's atmosphere, but also the practicality is further demonstrated.
