On May 26, the future-type fireworks entertainment "STAR ISLAND 2018" was held at Odaiba Kaihinkoen, following last year's first event.
An entertainment that combines "fireworks" and state-of-the-art technology "3D sound", "lighting" and "showing performance", which are developed in a superb location overlooking the skyscrapers of Tokyo.
At the venue, "LIMITED STAR SEAT-PREMIUM PAIR-" can be enjoyed elegantly in pairs, "LIMITED STAR SEAT-GROUP-" can be enjoyed by up to 6 people, "LIMITED STAR SEAT-DIN type-" that can be enjoyed while enjoying dinner, etc. 1. It is a new "early summer tradition" that replaces the "Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival" from Harumi Ohashi over Toyosu Ohashi.

The annual mini-garden guide tour was held on May 10 to stroll around the park with the guidance of an exclusive gardener at Harumi Triton Plaza 2F "Pocket Plaza Hana, Water and Trees".
The season when fresh green is dazzling. In particular, the color of the subtle green gradation woven by the vines that cover the entire wall of the Triton parking building on the "Green Terrace" is wonderful.
On the "Flower Terrace", the pure white bicautsugi and carmia are just in full bloom. The contrast between the temari-shaped flowers of American Temarishimotsuke and copper leaves is also chic.
Rice flowers and barzelia moko are also unique shapes. American zaifuriboku fruit (juenberry) is beginning to change color as soon as possible. The end of this month is the flower replanting season, which is held four times a year, and I am looking forward to meeting new faces.
It was a refreshing plant walk to enjoy the colorful greenery that made you feel the time and vitality.

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda]

It is a rabbit who plays birdwatching in Ishikawajima Park and Tsukuda Park in Chuo-ku. "Is it possible to see swallows in Chuo-ku, in the middle of Tokyo?" That was the question of summer when birdwatching started. As I grew up in a semi-urban area in a rural area, it was a definition of "I can see swallows = Inaka", so I never thought that I could see swallows in Chuo-ku.
I was surprised at the sight of cutting the sky above Ishikawajima Park, and for two years, I was able to shoot a swallow that stopped on an electric wire from below, but it was impossible to take a whole body.
At the end of April, I encountered swallows turning over Tsukuda Park and Tsukuda digging. As he continued to observe, he began to catch hay.
It seems to be collecting hay for nesting. He jumps off in the evening, jumps off in the evening, and repeats every 15 minutes.
It's just a chance to shoot. Swallows are vigilant even with a little sign, so this is also a breathtaking shot.
It was such a blue feather.
From nesting to incubation, chicks are born in about 3 weeks. When the chicks can fly, they can stop on the electric wires and observe the parent feeding quietly around June. Why don't you take a walk while watching the sky above Tsukuda Park and Tsukuda digging?
I was able to observe and photograph the swallows in Chuo-ku, and it was also an impressive walk in birdwatching that the matching between the city and nature was wonderful.

This is a Chinese restaurant located on the first floor of Tsukuda 2-chome, Kyodo News Agency and Training Exchange Center.
Located under the Chuo-ohashi Bridge, it is a restaurant where you can enjoy a meal with the Sumida River in front of you.
The cherry blossom season and the night view are also wonderful.
Pets are OK for this terrace seat.
Since we visited on Saturday, we ordered a "two-piece lunch set" on the "Saturday / Sunday / Holiday Lunch Menu".
Two of the following dishes from A to E, soup, small bowls, rice and desserts are included.
There is also a "3-piece lunch set" where you can choose 3 items.
A: Black marboardfish
B: Stir-fry chicken and sweet potato
C: Shrimp mayonnaise
D: Scorpion sauce
E: Shredded beef and kisoba
From the right of the photo, D (casago), B (chicken), A (mabo), C ( shrimp) are shown.
Each one is delicious.
Marboard cows are quite spicy.
It's apricot tofu for dessert.
After a delicious lunch, we took a walk in the sunny Ishikawajima Park and Paris Square.
You can see the Eitai Bridge in the back.
It was a peaceful afternoon

The other day, I investigated what I was interested in to guide the Tsukishima area. I would like to introduce some interesting themes that I introduced in a series. The first one is an incredible theme that "" Kachidoki Harumi "is Tsukishima."
In 1889, the municipal and municipal systems were enforced as administrative divisions of Tokyo Prefecture, and Tokyo City was established. . The current area equivalent to Chuo-ku has been divided into Nihonbashi-ku and Kyobashi-ku. In 1943, Tokyo Prefecture and Tokyo City were abolished, and Tokyo was newly established, and these two wards were under the direct control of Tokyo along with the other 33 wards, but in 1947 (1947) These two wards merged into Chuo-ku.
Kyobashi Ward was abolished in 1947, and the "Tsukishima / Kachidoki / Harumi" area was a horizontal area from Tsukishima 1-chome to 12-chome. For example, Tsukishima-dori 1-12-chome is located.
1-6-chome was added in 1892 (Meiji 25), 7-1-chome was added in 1894 (Meiji 27), and 12-chome was added in 1913 (Daisho 2). Was.
Tsukishima Nishinakamichi, Tsukishima Nishikawashidori, Tsukishima Higashinakamichi, and Tsukishima Nishikawashidori also went through the same process of specifying Choban. Looking at the current street name, it is as follows.
The area of Kachidoki 1-chome to Kachidoki 6-chome and Harumi was all Tsukishima before Showa 40 (1965). For this reason, the facilities built before this period still have the name "Tsukishima" even though they are currently in Kachidoki and Harumi. For example, Tsukishima Daini Elementary School, Tsukishima Daiichi Elementary School, Tsukishima Police Station, Tsukishima Fire Station, etc. In addition, even private companies can see the name "Tsukishima" as a branch name.
The following map shows an example of public institutions where the Tsukishima name remains.
From the next time, we will continue to talk about "water residents" from the beginning of the Showa era, the beaches of Minakami Elementary School, Tsukishima, and "Sometimes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building may have been in the Harumi district." Here's one side of Tsukishima, which has unique features not found in other districts.

The water terrace of Ishikawajima Park, located along the Sumida River school river.
At low tide, when you look closely at the rocky shores at the water, you can see the ruddy turnstone of the Shigi family moving around and foraging.
It is said that it is a "travel bird" observed on the way to the northern country of the breeding ground around May and on the way to the southern country of the wintering area around September. I hear that the origin of the Japanese name is that the summer feather is regarded as the gloss of the pattern of Kyojo's kimono.
By the way, young bird winter feathers are pale reddish brown and have a plain color.
In addition to surface foraging, it seems to catch small animals lurking underneath by turning or shifting pebbles, soil, shells, and seaweed lumps with beaks. The English name is "Turnstone" due to feeding habits.
