Remnants of the 15th wards of Tokyo Prefecture

[Asunaro] December 11, 2018 09:00

In 1878, we started in Kojimachi-ku, where the Imperial Palace is located.

Like writing the word "no" clockwise

Kojimachi, Kanda, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Shiba, Azabu, Akasaka, Yotsuya,
Ushigome, Koishikawa, Hongo, Shitaya, Asakusa, Honjo, Fukagawa and 15 wards were established.

Nihonbashi Ward and Kyobashi Ward merged on March 15, 1947, and there is the current Chuo-ku.

 The name of the station at Kyobashi Tsukishima Post Office is a remnant of Kyobashi-ku, Tokyo.

The scenery mark is "Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori Shopping Street and Monjayaki spatula".

While a lot of Showa architecture remains in the city from the Taisho era, there is also one aspect where skyscrapers stand like bamboo shoots after rain. Take a leisurely stroll through the Tsukishima area, which has a lot of fun other than Monja.

How about? Try looking for an easy flow.

Why don't you go to Harumi Wharf in the evening?

[kimitaku] December 10, 2018 18:00

 We took a walk at Harumi Wharf in a sunny autumn evening. During the day, the hustle and bustle flows during the construction of Olympic-related facilities, but from the evening, a wonderful night view spreads all over. kimitaku4_20181127.jpg   kimitaku3_20181127.jpg   From October this year, Toyosu Market Toyomi Ohashi has also been added. Especially in the Toyosu Market, the entire building is illuminated, making it even more beautiful.  ・・... to get to Harumi Wharf. ・・・・・  It takes about 20 minutes by bus bound for Harumi Wharf from Tokyo Station and is a zero-minute walk.  It is about a 20-minute walk from the Toei Subway Kachidoki Station.

What is 1:29:300? Let's be careful about the minor things we found at the construction site.

[Silver] December 10, 2018 09:00

What is 1:29:300? It was displayed on the panel I saw at the construction site of an apartment in Harumi.

The law of 1:29:300 was called the law of Heinrich.

 The law of 1:29:300 is one of the rules of thumb in occupational accidents, with 29 minor accidents behind one serious accident, with 300 abnormalities in the background. It is also known as Heinrich's law, derived from Herbert William Heinrich (1886-1962), who derived this law.
 In November 1929, Heinrich, Deputy General Manager of the Technology and Research Department at a non-life insurance company in the United States, published an analysis of the probability of occurrence of occupational accidents as a paper. There were 29 minor disasters with a degree of frared injuries, and 300 "disaster-free incidents" behind them.

*I also remembered ISO activities that tried to prevent occupational accidents by analyzing the events that "misses and hats" at production sites. I believe that if one minor event is overlooked, it will lead to many accidents and major accidents. The wind is getting stronger and the waves of the sea rise. I also remembered that this was a sign of a storm.

In the distribution and service sectors of companies, this law seems to be used as a rate of failure in business.

For example, behind a single loss, there are claims received from 29 customers, failures revealed in complaints, and behind that, there are 300 cases that employees think "has gone" but miss because there are no external complaints, that is, potential failures recognized.

 

 

Hotel Mariners Court Tokyo Restaurant Le Havre with a good view of Tokyo

[Silver] 09:00 on December 9, 2018

 We took a bus bound for Harumi Wharf and took a walk around the Olympic and Paralympic athlete village.

And I decided to have a meal at the Hotel Mariners Court restaurant.

The restaurant has a sushi restaurant Yoshigame on the first floor and a restaurant Marlena, and a seaside auberge "Le Havre" on the 12th floor.

We had a meal at the restaurant "Le Havre" with a good view. It's a restaurant named after a French port town, but you can also enjoy Japanese food. Lunch costs about 1,000 yen, and it's easy.

My lunch. Megochi tempura, sashimi, meat tofu, etc. are served.

 From the 12th floor, you can see the construction status of the Olympic and Paralympic athlete village. I can't wait for it to be completed.

There is also a construction rush on the side of Toyosu Ohashi.

Odaiba Rainbow Fireworks 2018

[Sam] December 7, 2018 18:00

DSC07966ELSR'.jpgDSC07988RS'G.jpg Every Saturday in December, the "Odaiba Rainbow Fireworks", which takes place for about 10 minutes from 19:00, has started this year.

Date: December 1.8.15.22.29

Winter is a season when the air is clear and the night view looks beautiful.

Against the backdrop of Rainbow Bridge, which is specially lit up in rainbow colors, about 1,800 fireworks launched off the coast of Odaiba Kaihinkoen's "Statue of Liberty" bloom dynamic flowers in the dignified winter night sky.

Despite a 10-minute condensed fireworks event, elaborate fireworks are launched one after another, and it is worth seeing.

On the 22nd, music fireworks linked to music will be held.

From Toyosu Ohashi, which has a good view of the downstream of the Harumi Canal, you can see the "Odaiba Rainbow Fireworks" that color the winter night sky with loud sound.

 

 

HARUMI FLAG ?

[Silver] December 7, 2018 12:00

Looking at the sign called HARUMI FLAG, what is it? I thought it.

DSCN2550 (400x300). jpg

It is said that "Harumi" was named in the sense of a sunny place overlooking the beautiful sea. So, I thought this sign was a picture of that image. However, just in case, when I searched on the Internet, I found a URL called HARUMI FLAG (Harumi Athlete Village). It will be sold after being used as an athlete village at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, and will be able to move in in 2023.

 

I saw a part of the official website. It's as follows.

 The HARUMI FLAG consists of five blocks, consisting of 23 condominiums and rental housing units and 1 commercial facility, for a total of 24 buildings.
By establishing many open spaces and green spaces that are the center of the city, we will create exchanges and liveliness.
In the adjacent area, a “multi-mobility station” and a “hydrogen station” that supplies the next generation of energy will be set up as traffic nodes, redevelopment of “Harumi Wharf Park”, elementary and junior high schools, childcare facilities, and harbor public facilities such as the fire department are also linked.
