Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

It's getting chilly day by day.
There are many days for going out, and I feel like going to play somewhere with Chibi ^^

　　　
By the way, I feel that Chuo-ku is a city that is easy to raise children and is friendly to children every day.
An attractive event will be held at Harumi Triton Square on November 3rd (Thursday / holiday)!

　　　　　

“Ikusai Fes CHUO 2016”
　http://ikufes-chuo.com/

Clearing storage course, food education course, recreational talk session, couple's house share workshop...
And the disaster prevention experience is the theme of this time.

　　　　

It seems that you can also make disaster prevention lights made with only water, sample disaster prevention food, and experience lifesaving training.
Previously, I had a lifesaving course at a fire department, but I don't have the opportunity to learn about specializing in children, so I would like to go there.

　　Venue: Harumi Triton Square 2F Grand Lobby
　　Participation fee: Free (Souvenir bags are distributed to those who have achieved stamp rally)

As expected, Chuo-ku! I can rely on it. You can feel safe. Thank you very much!
If you are in the middle of raising children, those in the future, why not visit by all means? ^^

This month, I enjoyed it very much at the Chuo-ku event.

　

One was three lectures on "Edo's food" at Nihonbashi Elementary School.

In the story of Mr. Takeo Koizumi's `` Bansen competition '', a barrel boat loaded with sake from Osaka Nishinomiya competed with `` Yoidon '' aiming for Edo Minato, which ship would arrive first off Shinagawa. It seems that.

There was also a "Tea Clipper Race" in U.K., and there was a race to carry tea from China to U.K.

　

young sake must have been boiled in barrels this season and tasted.

There must have been a lot of sake brewery in the Nihonbashi area.

　

The second is the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum" on the 30th.

I became a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, and for the first time I did a bus guide.

Sometimes I heard a voice from behind me saying, "Oh, that's right," and I was very happy to respond.　

I'll try it again next year.

 

 

　Before the evening of October 29, a very beautiful flower carpet was completed on the cherry blossom promenade at Harumi Triton Square.　

You can see it until 16:00 on November 1st.

　This year's theme is "Thank you for the power of flowers-space and space flower carpet". I would like to report the leaflet of the explanation I received along with the photos. (I'm sorry I couldn't show the whole work.)

①Japanese crest pattern

　In the explanation of the leaflet, "We use traditional Japanese patterns used when congratulations with Kichijobun. It is said to be a tree where the god of rice cultivation dwells, and it has the meaning of rich harvest, and it is the beginning of things because it is reminiscent of spring and sprouts, and it is said to be very auspicious "cherry blossoms" and "ume" = "produced". There is also a meaning, and it is designed with a motif of a Japanese pattern that resembles a "ume" that holds an auspicious luck. ].

②Tradition

　"The motif of Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e is to express Harumi, the gateway to the sea. "The people who live on the shores of the big swells and Mount Fuji represent the origins of the Japanese."

③Current

　I was very energetic and thought it was a work that expresses Harumi now.

④Future

"The gateway to the sea of Tokyo, Harumi, is expressed by Mizuno Flow. The flow of water eventually grew into large trees, making Harumi a flower island full of flowers and greenery. The ball passed among athletes and animals will be passed down to the children of the world and will create the future."

⑤Emphasis of emblems

　In addition, a flower carpet of works commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Peter RabbitTM, Beertrics PotterTM, was also shown.

In addition, the flower carpet will be lit up until 23:00 on October 31, so please enjoy the illuminated flower carpet at night.

 

 

As you walk toward Harumi Wharf, you will find a vast vacant lot.

　

As you can see on the signboard, this is the planned site of the Olympic athlete village.

The construction is in the middle of the project.

　

This time we went to the Central Cleaning Center.

If you go up the stairs of the center, you will find a small park.

　

If you look right, you will see the Toyomi Ohashi Bridge under construction.

　

Route 2, which is under construction at Tsukiji Ohashi, continues to the left from Ohashi.

　

In front of the left, Asashio Kobashi is on the canal, and in the left rear is Takeshiba Pier. A big ship was berthing.

　

In this area, the scenery changes with each passing day.

It is only four years before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

It is also recommended to take a leisurely and spacious walk around the planned site during the autumn holidays.

　

There is also a bus stop near the Central Cleaning Center, and it is recommended to use a bus for a walk. The name of the bus stop is "Hot Plaza Harumi".

　

 

 

The other day, I heard the news of a swan flying on TV. It was 4 days earlier than usual. When will northern pintail and Japanese plums come here at Ishikawajima Park on the Sumida River? Unfortunately, bird watching has become a hobby this year, and I don't have any past data.

　

On October 12th, you can see a different silhouette from the usual Indian spot-billed duck! What is it?

　

One male mallard and two female northern pintail!　It's been seven months since I couldn't see it in March.

mallard male, called Eclipse, is a sober color before it grows into beautiful feathers in the breeding season. When it grows, the head turns green.

On October 20th, we were able to see two male northern pintail!　It's quite different from females. These males are growing on breeding feathers.

　

　

On October 22, the bird of the capital of Tokyo, the lily turtle, finally came! ! It's been five months since I went across in May. There is no distinction between males and females.

　

　

Winter birds come to Japan for wintering from Siberia. While in Japan, males are growing beautifully in order to find their marriage partner. It's nice to see a beautiful figure.

From now on, the number of northern pintail, the gulls and the mallard will fly, and the variety will be bustling with Eurasian wigeon, Hoshihajiro and tufted duck. I'm looking forward to it.

　

 

 

This is rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an understanding.

　

Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association (CCIEA) will continue to show.

　

This time, we will discuss the business and events.

I would like to continue to talk to Mayumi Hayashi of this association.

　

―　About Japanese language class

"This is, in other words, the main business.

Since it is a classroom normally, this teacher says, "Everyone who is doing it is a volunteer.

First of all, you can use one room here. Other places in the city, such as the Women's Center or the Nihonbashi Social Education Center.

In addition, there are other things that I have to borrow separately. Originally, there were only three classrooms hosted by our association, but there were 2,30 volunteers here to teach foreigners living and working in Chuo-ku and those who are having trouble in Japanese. There is a classroom in the form. So, there is a lot of demand that we want to study intermediate and advanced even if we are in trouble, and there are a lot of volunteers starting up and now there are 10 classrooms in total. "

"It seems that there are many people from China and Korea as a country. About 60% of foreigners living in Chuo-ku are Chinese and Koreans. I don't think it has changed for years. However, there are many things like Europe and the United States and Southeast Asia. In addition to living, it's okay to work."

"If you want to know more about this, please visit our website. In addition to Japanese and English, information can be obtained in Chinese and Korean.

　

―　Gathering of International Exchange

"October 15th is" International Exchange Salon-Let's get acquainted with Japanese sweets! " However, in November, we will hold an "International Exchange Gathering" held once a year.
