Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Tour of Autumn Leaves stamp rally

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 27, 2017 18:00

On a pleasant sunny day of Koharu weather, we went to Hamarikyu Onshi Garden.

At the entrance, there was a notice of "Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Autumn Leaves Tour stamp rally".

At present, we are conducting the “Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Autumn Leaves Tour stamp rally” at nine metropolitan gardens according to the season of autumn leaves.

It's the eleventh meeting.

The period is from November 3 (Friday / holiday) to December 10 (Sun).

During this period, 10,000 people who collected garden stamps for 5 gardens out of 9 metropolitan gardens will be able to receive the "Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Calendar 2018" on a first-come, first-served basis.

I immediately pressed the stamp of Hamarikyu on the application form.

In addition, it seems that those who collect stamps for 5 gardens and apply will be presented with Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Original Goods and JR East Original Goods by lottery.

You can apply for 9 Garden Passports, Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Matcha Ticket, Tokyo Metropolitan Garden Original Tenugui, and other JR original goods.

The target 9 gardens are as follows.

Hamarikyu Onshi Garden (Chuo-ku), Former Shiba Rikyu Garden (Minato-ku), Koishikawa Korakuen (Bunkyo-ku), Rikugien (Bunkyo-ku), Former Iwasaki House Garden (Taito-ku), Mukojima Hyakuhanaen (Sumida-ku), Kiyosumi Garden (Koto-ku), Former Furukawa Garden (Kokubunji), Former Furukawa Garden (Koku)

I think it's a great event where you can get gifts while enjoying the autumn leaves.

A little long day of New American correspondent. ~ Chuo-ku Whole Museum 2017 Part 2 ~

[Edamame] Nov. 7, 2017 16:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

It's the last time.

(Click here for the previous article → /archive/2017/11/post-4725.html)

 

After receiving an orange hoodie for the staff at the meeting place at Harumi Wharf.

Get on the "Marugoto Museum Limited Free Tour Bus" for 80 minutes per lap and guide everyone.

Actually ... Edamame, this was the first memorable guide to our customers.

I was a little nervous, but my frank impression was that I was glad I could have fun.

I would be glad if our customers could learn about Chuo-ku as much fun as possible.

I hope I can do it again next year. I would like to do more training for that purpose.
 

After going around and returning to Harumi Pier, today's work is over.

It's almost 13 o'clock, but we still have more time.

So, from here, let's go around where you want to go.

First of all, the event at Harumi Pier now.

This is the Harumi Autumn Festival 2017.

I was coming to Harumi Wharf.

It is an Antarctic observation ship "Shirase". You can tour the ship.

The outdoor events due to bad weather have been canceled.

Various events on board were held as scheduled.

Projection of planetarium, caster experience,

There was also a corner to make a power-free radio.

And...

There is also a corner where you can take pictures with such Yuru characters.

In Japan, the number of seafarers has been decreasing recently ...

There was also a distribution of DVDs and pamphlets introducing seafarers' work.

The upper Yuru character is called "Captain Namimaru" that appears in it.

Certainly, in Japan surrounded by the sea, it seems that it will be difficult without anyone who moves the ship.

I hope that more children will be interested in ship work.

 

In addition, there are exhibits of classic cars at Harumi Wharf.

DSC_2192-1.jpg

There was a stage of a choir for elementary school students in Chuo-ku.

DSC_2187-1.jpg

There were a lot of things.

If the weather is a little better...I think so.

Let's keep it again next year.



I enjoyed the Harumi Wharf with such a feeling.

Take a free tour bus guided by other correspondents

I decided to move to Nihonbashi.

There's still a lot of fun in the city.

DSC01097RS'G.jpg  An annual mini-garden guided tour of the park with the guidance of an exclusive gardener at Harumi Triton Plaza 2F "i green Pocket Plaza Hanamizuki".

This month was held on November 2nd.

At this time, red (yellow) leaves such as Natsuta, Hasenoki, and Yurinoki add color.

Jugatsuzakura is blooming in North Triton Park.

Replanting seasonal flowers, which are held four times a year. In the "Flower Garden", which was replanted at the end of last month, checker berries, English daisy, panda violets, habotan, sweet arism, geranium 'pink fire', pansies furifriffs, etc. are newly planted.

The azalea family, known for its many species, Carna Bulgarias, Erica Colorans 'White Delight', and Bernetteia, each of which has a unique flower appearance.

It was a plant walk that reminds us of the beginning of winter preparations, with the appearance of flowers and trees reflecting the changing seasons of spring oysters, Himeringo, Shishiyuzu, etc.

A little long day of New American correspondent. -The whole Chuo-ku Museum 2017 Part 1~

[Edamame] Nov. 2, 2017 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Sunday, October 29.

One of the major events in Chuo-ku, "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2017" was held.

・・Yes. On this day when the typhoon is approaching.

There were many irregularities, such as some events being canceled or changing places.

Still, I think many people participated in various events and enjoyed it.

Introducing what was cut out of this day with a camera of a new correspondent.


7 o'clock in the morning.

Check the entire museum's official website to see the status of events and other events due to bad weather.

Especially ... ship!

Volunteers of correspondents serve as volunteer guides on the free patrol bus on the day.

Harumi Wharf, the starting point of the bus, was the meeting place.

Hamacho, which runs free of charge on the day to go there. → I thought I would go on a boat in Harumi (Asashio Canal) ...

I was worried that bad weather would make it difficult.

After confirming, at least in the morning, it will operate in a way that reduces the capacity.

There is no problem for me if the ship moves properly.

I will go to the dock in Hamacho with peace of mind.

Is it a matter of bad weather and time before 9 o'clock in the morning?

There were still few people.

DSC_2169-1.jpg

Still, families and friends, etc.

Everyone who might be looking forward to this event was gathering.

The inside of the ship looks like this.

DSC_2172-1.jpg

I hear it's a boat that can hold parties.

It's a little longing. What a party on board?

I want to try it someday (delusions).

And 9 o'clock. I'm leaving!

It's bad weather, but the ship doesn't shake so much. It operated smoothly.

The most exciting thing is that this ship "guided".

Famous places and bridges in Chuo-ku (some bridges over the Sumida River are designated as Important Cultural Properties)

I was looking forward to hearing various stories.

DSC_2174-13.jpg

・・・ Before I guide, I also serve as image training.

I'm going to study as it is.

There were many contents of the guide who seemed to be "Oh, that's right!"

There was also a place where I could learn how to communicate.

I have to do my best in the future.

The scenery seen from the boat is fresh, unlike the one seen from the land.

After all, I was reminded that I like sailing.

I hope that we can continue to convey the goodness to as many people as possible.

The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the ship is severe, and there are also raindrops.

I'm sorry that there is no good picture left from the room ...

After a 40-minute cruise, we arrived at Harumi (Asashio Canal Ship landing).

By the way. I'm going to work at Harumi Wharf from here.
