Interim opening of Route 2 between Toyosu and Tsukiji

[Koedo Itabashi] Nov. 5, 2018 14:00

Sunday, November fourth.

The 11th Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum 2018 was held.

A free patrol bus that runs each event venue in the city for about 100 minutes.

Many tourist correspondent members participated in the volunteer bus guide.

After the flight in charge, I also traveled to JR Station by transiting a patrol bus, but the bus I boarded was able to listen to each guide's unique Chuo-ku guide.

Everyone was well prepared and holding the microphone with their own information.

In a short time between bus stops, effectively communicate to customers.

It was very helpful.

I also wanted to provide seasonal topics, and one of the information I prepared was "provisional opening of Loop Route 2".

 

On November 4, exactly on this day, the use of the 2.8 km road between Toyosu and Tsukiji was started at 14:00. .

Toyosu Market, which started operations on October 11.

From Toyosu 6-chome, Koto-ku, it is a section that crosses Toyosu Ohashi, Harumi area, across Reimei Ohashi, Kachidoki area, and Tsukiji Ohashi and connects Tsukiji 5-chome, Chuo-ku.

Along the outer circumference of the site of the Tsukiji Market, it was provisionally opened with a detour, although it is one lane on each side.

With this provisional opening, we can expect various effects such as alleviating traffic congestion in the coastal area, improving accessibility to the city center, strengthening logistics, and multiplexing evacuation routes in the event of a disaster.

 

Tsukiji Market closed on October 6.

When moving to Toyosu, a large move of Turley (turret truck) took place on this road.

Turley is a small special vehicle, so you can drive with a normal car license.

However, since it is a vehicle with a small turn specializing in on-site transportation, it will be a scene that can no longer be seen to move large in a row along the Ohashi Bridge late at night and early in the morning.

 

"The construction of this Harumi area, where buses are running now, is being carried out at a rapid pace as an athlete village during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. At 14:00 today, the route between Toyosu and Tsukiji on Route 2 will open provisionally. Using this route, players from all over the world will fly to each competition venue with dreams and hopes. "

I'll be waiting for you.

DSC07640ELS'.jpgDSC07641RS'G.jpg On the autumn day, the Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum is a place where you can enjoy cultural resources and various events held in various places while traveling around the city by free bus or boat.

This year, the eleventh year, eight new businesses have been added, and a total of 44 programs have been planned.

Among them, "ship operation" is one of the most popular with the guidance of the River Guide, where you can enjoy the rich waterside of Chuo-ku and the cityscape from the boat.

There are four courses: "Nihonbashi Tour", "Akashicho Waterside Line Tour", "Hamacho-Harumi", and "Nihonbashi-Harumi".

The "Akashicho Waterside Line Tour Route" departs and arrives at the Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier, and departs from Kachidokibashi-Tsukiji Ohashi-Toyosu Ohashi-Harumi Bridge-Harumi Bridge-Aioi Bridge-Chuo-ohashi Bridge-Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. About 30 minutes via Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

The maximum temperature in the city center on the day is 16.4 ° C, and you can enjoy the transformation of the cityscape from a different perspective, such as the progress of the construction of the Tokyo 2020 Games athlete village in Harumi, Toyosu Market, etc., despite a slightly chilly weather.

Population density descending order. jpg

 

Based on the 2015 national census population basic count (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Statistics Bureau), we made a ranking of population density by ward, municipalities.

Government-designated cities have been subdivided by ward. For example, Sendai City is divided into Aoba Ward, Miyagino Ward, Wakabayashi Ward, Taihaku Ward, and Izumi Ward. In this way, there are 1,896 municipalities nationwide.
As a result, all wards are lined up from 1st to 31st.
Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture (32nd place) is the highest among municipalities other than government-designated cities.
My Chuo-ku was ranked 36th.

 
1 Toshima-ku, Tokyo 22,380 people/km2
2 Nakano-ku, Tokyo 21,053 people/km2
3 Arakawa-ku, Tokyo 20,892 people/km2
4 19,654 people/km2 in Joto-ku, Osaka City
5 19,592 people/km2, Taito-ku, Tokyo
6 19,462 people/km2 in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo
7 18,925 people/km2, Meguro-ku, Tokyo
8 Sumida-ku, Tokyo 18,611 people/km2
9 18,307 people/km2 in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo
10 17,998 people/km2, Abeno-ku, Osaka
(Omitted)
32 Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture 14,141 people/km2
(Omitted)
36 Chuo-ku, Tokyo 13,828 people/km2
 

The population of Chuo-ku according to the census at this time was 141,183, but it has continued to increase since then, and the population as of October 1, 2018 according to the Basic Resident Register of Chuo-ku increased by 20,000 to 161,456 It has become. Since the tendency to return to the city center is also seen in other wards, what will the result of the next census that will take place two years later?

Her daughter Azuki's seven-three-three, 1: Let's take a cute picture in the previous shot @ LOVST PHOTO STUDIO Kachidoki Riverside store

[Edamame] October 29, 2018 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.



I'd like to send it in a series for a while from this time.

It's the fall of 3 years old, my daughter Azuki.

There are many things to prepare for kindergarten entrance for next spring ...

There's an important event.

That's right. It's seven five three.

It is a celebration that such a small baby has turned 3 years old safely.

There are a lot of things like kimonos, visiting, and going to eat dinners ...

I would like to write about such a thing about Azuki's Shichigosan.


##################

That's why the first time in the series.

This is the story of the previous shooting in the photo studio.

"I took a picture."

I hear it at weddings, etc., before the actual ceremony or the visit date of Shichigosan this time.

It's about taking pictures on a different schedule.

Especially in the case of Shichigosan, children take pictures with kimonos that they are unfamiliar with and come to visit as they are.

By tightening in the band for a long time

I can see that it's painful, painful, unsatisfied explosion, and a fuss ...

It seems that there are many houses that choose to take the front in the photo studio.


There are many places like photography studios.

I decided to ask you this time

"LOVST PHOTO STUDIO" located in Kachidoki.

Actually, I've always been worried about it.

A high school friend living in the Tsukishima area goes to Facebook.

I was uploading my son Kun (currently 5 years old)'s birthday and photos of Shichigosan.

Well, it's pretty.

I thought it would be nice to have a photo with a natural expression.

When I asked, "Where did you take this picture?", He told me that it was here.

And ... if I told a local mom friend that I decided to ask here

"Actually, I took a picture there. The follow-up of the staff was wonderful. "

"I heard that it's really good!"

It was also very popular in the Hamacho area, which should be a little far from Kachidoki.


Well, on the day.

I got up early and headed for Kachidoki because it was shooting first in the morning.

That's right. Time is strict.

Please note that when you are late = your child's shooting time will decrease accordingly.

When you arrive at the studio, you first choose a kimono, wear it, and make-up.

IMG_2889-1.jpg

Some types of antique kimonos are available in the studio here.

Azuki's select item with purple color this time.

This time, it will be a photo shoot in a kimono, so within the price.

It was very attractive to include "children's hair set & simple makeup & kimono rental & dressing".

(There are places where you can wear clothes and hair sets in the outside beauty salon before coming to the studio.)


That's why it's the first hair and makeup experience in my life.

In the first place, I only say "Yada" at first.

(Although it is also called the basic setting for 3-year-olds.)

But are you worried about what your sister in charge of hair and makeup does?

He said, "Yada," but sat in a chair and had his hair curled.

IMG_2878-1.jpg


When the hair set and makeup (also a little bit of cheeks) are over ...

Finally, the shooting starts!

IMG_2898-1.jpg

I understand after the shooting started.

LOVST staff, the technique to bring out the smiles of children is tremendously wonderful.

That's right.

A child of this age first said, "I don't look at the camera."

And "I'm going to take a picture."

When you shoot for a long time, you'll get tired and get rid of it.

It often occurs when my mother shoots (tears).

A technique that makes full use of the voice and props to avoid it.

This is a professional! I showed you a lot of things like that.

IMG_2899-1.jpg


My mother Edamame's favorite is this scene.

IMG_2915-1.jpg

The back of the red flower was so colorful that I liked it.


Next, I'm playing the ball with a prop handball.

IMG_2916-1.jpg

I'd like a so-called sweeping photo, but I'd like to see it.

By shooting with the feeling of playing, many photos of natural smiles were created.

I like him as a mother Edamame.

If you are in good mood (= I have enough time), you can also change your clothes into Western clothes (girls dresses).

Azuki likes the pink, fluffy dress at a glance. I'm a girl.

IMG_2929-1.jpg

I tried to change the atmosphere by lowering my hair a little.

IMG_2931-1.jpg

I chose the scene with the book because it's a kid who loves picture books.

"You can bring your favorite stuffed animals so that you can take pictures in a good mood."

That's why Kuma-kun, who came from us, is with me.

In such a situation, I was able to finish all shooting with a smile of Nikko Nico.


That's right. Here, it is wonderful to be able to get all the shooting data using LINE on the day of shooting!

(In some places, you can only get a print request, and there are times when it comes to a long time.)

I'd like to send you the data in the CD-ROM at a later date.

It is a world where there are many friends and relatives who have smartphones.

It's very convenient to be able to share photos taken easily.

And you can get "all images" ... 130 images came to my home!

There are 10 monochrome-processed ones plus a total of 140 pieces! ! !

The fact that I was able to take a lot of photos that the shooting went smoothly with a good child, but it was a very satisfying shooting.



IMG_2939-1.jpg

If you wish, you can also make optional products such as calendars and photo books.

I'm looking forward to it.

Actually, Azuki who came to introduce a friend is a referral privilege.

We had you make "half a year's calendar (for one A4 size)".

And I was a little excited and the photo book too!

I'm looking forward to it.


Of course, there are a lot of kimonos and dresses not only for 3 years old but also for bigger children.

The next opportunity (7 years old, 753?) Commemorative graduation of kindergarten? ?) I would like to use it.

I'd like to look forward to that time!
