Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

"Tokyo Marathon EXPO 2015" is an exhibition and sale centered on the Tokyo Marathon runner reception venue, marathon-related products and official goods, and city PR in Tokyo.

This year too, Chuo-ku Tourism Association and a long-established Nihonbashi sold masterpieces.

Yamamoto-noriten's booth when I first visited.

A woman in a kimono greeted me and unintentionally, "Oh!　"Yoko Yamamoto?"

We were greeted by the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador.•Mr. Shoko Ikeda in the middle of Miss.

Yamamoto-noriten purchased his favorite seasoned laver because he offered a zodiac picture plate every year at Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. Both green onion miso flavor and salmon flavor match with beer snack.

At the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Shoko Ikeda joined the two men who were watching, and they stored in the photo with Skanda at Daikanonji Temple in the background.

 There was a hand towel and nocturnal list band designed with "Skanda" that would benefit the runner. Both are exhibited from Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho.

I bought one to wrap it around my bag, rather than to wear it on my arm.

From "Ninben", I purchased a base for cooked rice with clams.

It's 500 for two, so I bought four. I ate it right away, but it was delicious that the cheeks fell. Click here for today's shopping!

Yes, "Ninben" gave me a present containing a bonito dashi pack. Thank you! The design and color of the list band at the bottom is also good.

This shop is recommended for those who want to eat a lot of fresh and delicious seafood.♪

It is a popular shop in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku, where you can line up especially during lunch.

"Haunting! It was also introduced in "Ad Street Heaven" and "Honnasty Sampo".

The manager seems to be a former middleman of "Tsukiji", and he visits "Tsukiji" three times a day (neighborhood of Tsukishima) and checks good things early.

※I went to lunch at lunch and received a "tuna sushi set meal", but it was very delicious with a lot of volume!

There are a lot of fresh "grated wasabi" on board, so I'm happy for "wasabi lovers".♪

This month, the "Tokyo Marathon" may be held, and I often see runners who practice around Tokyo. This event has become quite well established. Even in Chuo-ku, Ginza, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, etc. are included in the driving course, so many supporters and spectators come. At that time, I hope that you can enjoy sightseeing and shopping in Chuo-ku together.

The running boom is still booming. I run myself occasionally, but there are many people who can't forget the exhilaration after running and gradually get stuck. Every fall, the “Chuo Kumin Marathon” is also held, so if you have been hesitant, why not start running little by little on this occasion? It's still cold now, but it's getting better as I'm running. In fact, winter is the best season for running.

I think that each person who runs has their favorite running course. Chuo-ku is the most urbanized area, so there are no hills or vast parks like the suburbs. If anything, it may be fun to run like sewing an alley in the city.

In such a situation, my favorite is the Riverside of the Sumida River. In the ward, there is a promenade along the riverside from Eitai Bridge to Kachidokibashi, so I think it is the best course for walks and jogging. It is pleasant to run slowly while watching the waterside scenery.

I recommend running early in the morning. You can run while relaxing in the tranquility of the moment before the town still starts moving. In the cold season, the air is clear, so you can see the sky clearly. During the time when the sky around Tsukuda becomes brighter, the scenery where the appearance of the high-rise apartment and the river live together is also impressive.

Let's meet at Riverside!

 The time it takes for birds to mature from young bird to adult bird varies from species to species, and generally the larger the body, the longer it takes.

In the case of a small seagull, the theory is two years.

The chicks born in the breeding ground in summer are wrapped in fluff (producing feathers), but they are said to have the same shape as adult bird, a brownish young feather.

The young feathers, the first winter feathers, the first summer feathers, and the second winter feathers are gradually changed from brown young feathers to gray adult bird feathers.

adult bird also repeats summer feathers and winter feathers.

In young bird, the beak and legs are yellowish, but the yellow gradually becomes darker, orange, and red in adult bird.

You can understand the difference when young bird and adult bird line up.

On the calendar, even though it is near spring, the cold weather is still severe, and the lovely expression of the black turtle relaxing in the pools along the banks of the Sumida River feels warm.
