Along with the fun work, the explanation is very interesting.

At the festival, there is also a lion head shrine in Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

Even if it is done, it is said that it is good to catch the tip of the cruise nose.

The young crowd was rushing and grabbing his nose.

The octagonal portable shrine was made in an octagon, imitating the emperor's high seat.

In portable shrine, which is rare in Japan

Sumiyoshi Tsukuda Festival 

[kimitaku] August 24, 2015 18:00

At Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, enshrined at Tsukuda 1-chome, a festival is held once every three years.27tu002-1.jpg

This year is the third year's festival, and from August 1st to 3rd, each town has been in operation.

The sound of the music is also light.

I went around.

On the Sumida River, there is also a ship imperial procession and the head office of the octagonal portable shrine. 

We went around each town lively.  

 Tsukuda Hon.: At Tsukuda 1-chome,

Six banners turned toward Edo Castle.

At night, the houses were lit with Japanese lantern during the Edo period.

I think I've slipped back in time.

 

 

◆ The sun goes down due to the small glow of the Sumida River sunset

[Sumida Fireworks] August 21, 2015 14:00

 

Located in the city, the banks of the Sumida River are somewhat large in the sky.

I'm a countryside, or I'm just here in search of a wide sky.

s_hanabi23-1.jpg(May 25 From Kachidokibashi Waki toward Tsukiji Market)

 

There are many sunny days this summer, and I feel that there are many days when dusk is beautiful because of that.

s_hanabi23-2.jpg(June 27, Kachidokibashi)

 

At dusk, sometimes it becomes a wonderful drama after the sun sets.

Akane, orange, pink, blue. It emits unpredictable light.

s_hanabi23-3.jpg(June 27, Kachidokibashi)

 

If it is a riverside, the light is reflected on the river surface and the excitement is doubled.

I think the sunset on the riverside from Tsukuda, Tsukishima and Kachidoki, where you can see the direction of sunset over the Sumida River, is a particularly beautiful place.

s_hanabi23-4.jpg(8/4 from Tsukuda to Shinkawa)

 

But it does not mean that the sun sets is beautiful.

After the sun sets, the clouds exposed to light change from the supporting role to the leading role.

s_hanabi23-5.jpg(7/15 from Sumida River Ohashi toward Eitai Bridge)

 

Well, what kind of drama will it be today?

It's a few tens of minutes, but you can't read the development in the ever-changing evening sky.

s_hanabi23-6.jpg(8/9 from Kachidokibashi to Tsukiji Market)

 

It's a little cooler at dusk. I think there are many ways to enjoy it.

(Aug. 4 from Tsukuda to Minato)

 

I took a walk with a digital camera and a mobile phone.

 

The photo is left to the setting of the sunset mode of the digital camera. But sometimes mobile photos are more beautiful.

 

At dusk, it is a scenery where you can feel some nostalgia, but it is the same in the Sumida River.

At dusk in the city, I feel like nostalgia is more prominent.

 


It's going to be a little hotter.

Also, I would like to walk along the Sumida River at dusk in search of a new drama.

 

 

 

Let's enjoy Chuo-ku in drama-Part 2 "Full Opening Girl" (broadcast in 2011)-

[Nojinya] August 19, 2015 14:00

On the evening of the weekend, after the business in Hamacho is over, walk around the Sumida River Terrace in the direction of Eitai Bridge. The sun has fallen completely, and the light blue lit up of Eitai Bridge is vivid on the surface of the water. The heat of the daytime subsides somewhat, and the lighting of the houseboat, which travels with the wind across the river surface, is refreshing.toyomibashi2.jpg

There is the Nihonbashi River in front of Eitai Bridge, so the Sumida River Terrace is once interrupted and goes up the stairs. Then there was a crowd around Toyomi Bridge. 。 。

 

"I'll ask you quietly!" 。 In front of the bridge, the monitor TV and the staff who stare at it. And from the top of the bridge, you can hear the narrative of a woman like you thought.toyomibashi1.jpg

Yes, it was the shooting site of the drama. Not only this time, but in Chuo-ku, I often go to drama location sites. Originally set in Chuo-ku, a drama based on Keigo Higashino's mystery novel, "Newcomer" (Ningyocho), and "Himi" (Tsukushima / Tsukuda:) introduced in a previous blog post.

/archive/2014/12/wonhk.html) In Chuo-ku, of course, will be performed in Chuo-ku in addition to the location of drama on the stage, but locations will be performed in Chuo-ku, including those whose stage is not explicitly Chuo-ku. There seems to be quite a few cases. Many dramas are originally set in Tokyo, so it is natural to shoot dramas in Tokyo, but it is natural that there are many drama shootings in Tokyo, but it is blessed with history and waterside, and Ryuishi has many landscapes that become picturesque, from love things to serious works Many drama locations are performed in the city, up to them.toyomibashi5.jpg

"Full open girl" was broadcast on Fuji TV's "Month 9" frame in 2011. At that time, I accidentally encountered the location (Episode 9: the appearance of Riki Takeuchi and Yui Aragaki) that was being held at Chuo Daizu. Wakaba Ayukawa, who aims to be an international lawyer played by Yui Aragaki, will work as a barbari and a new lawyer at a law firm, and will take care of the daughter of the office director, Hinata, through the Mitsuba Forest Nursery School where Hyuga passes. A story that he has various relationships with the people of downtown. This drama is a drama that "the stage is not explicitly Chuo-ku" in the previous classification, but Hamarikyu, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Toyomi Bridge, Eitai Bridge, Tsukishima Nishinaka Dori, Tsukuda Kobashi, Yamagata Bank Tokyo Branch (Kyobashi), TCAT (TCAT). 。 。 According to a friend of drama-dori, the appearance scene in Chuo-ku is 44 times in total (11 episodes in total), and somewhere in Chuo-ku appears almost every time. toyomibashi4.JPG[Released from the DVD Pony Canyon]

 

Since the location schedule is not announced, it may be difficult to visit the location site, but it seems that you can easily enjoy Chuo-ku, which appears in dramas and movies. On a day when you want to refrain from going out in summer batter, it is a good idea to enjoy a walk in Chuo-ku on DVD.

 

 

The 27th TOKYO HANABI FESTIVAL 2015

 The 27th Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival, which colors the night sky of Tokyo Bay, was held on August 8 at Harumi Wharf.

Last year it was canceled due to stormy weather, and it was held for the first time in two years.

A total of about 12,000 fireworks were launched from three boats off the Harumi Wharf + Harumi Wharf Park in total.

From 18:50 to 20:10, progress along the program.

 Part 2 Summer vacation, fireworks picture diary of memories

 Part 3 Tokyo Bay, New Wave Fireworks Performance

 Part 4 Edo Fireworks, Crafts and Traditional Feast

 Part 5: The Dance of the Sky, Tokyo Bay

 Part 6 Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival, Grand Finale ~ Bridge to the Future ~

Among them, large balls such as 12 shaku 5 inch balls (about 45cm in diameter, about 400m above and covering the night sky) and 130 shaku balls are impressive.

Before the big fireworks blossom with "Dodon", you will be excited by the sound of the familiar "Hugh" whistle.

It is full of pyrotechnician's creativity, ingenuity, and skills, ranging from traditional techniques such as Yae-Kin Chrysanthemum, where light pulls the tail and spherical shape and the core layer, and Senwa Chrysanthemum, where small flowers open all at once.

The refreshing wind blowing along the sea surface was also felt, and it was somewhat easy to survive, and it was literally a "Noryo Fireworks Festival".

The Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival, along with the Sumida River Fireworks Festival and the Jingu Gaien fireworks festival, is one of the representative fireworks festival in Tokyo.

Of the venues around Harumi, where about 100,000 seats are set up (sponsored by Harumi, Harumi Daini, Toyosu Daiichi, Hinode, Harumi individually), the Harumi area is involved in the development of an athlete village for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Some say that the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival will be suspended because it will be restricted from next year.

Some media reported that "de factoly look over this year", and it seems that it has become a reality.
