 The Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, designated as a national special scenic spot and a special historic site, is a valuable heritage that conveys the remnants of Edo's daimyo garden.

Many buildings and trees in the garden were destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war, but starting with the reconstruction of "Nakajima's Ochiya" in 1978, from 2004, the cultural property garden was preserved and passed on to the next generation In order to pass it on to the next generation, a restoration and maintenance project that faithfully reproduces the designs and techniques at that time and revives it to the present age has started.

In addition to the restoration of aging facilities such as the seawall of Uchibori and Nakano Bridge, restoration of the Ochiya group, which is also important in composing the landscape of the garden, has begun.

In 2010, the restoration work of "Matsuno Ochiya" was completed.

Next, in May this year, the restoration work of “Tsubame no Ochiya”, which we have been working on since 2013, was completed, and the interior has recently been specially released.

Initially, it was set up for three days on September 17, 18, and 22, but on both 17 and 18, it was canceled due to rainy weather and was released only on the 22nd.

19: 30-10: 00 2 10: 30-11: 00 3 13: 30-14: 00 4 14: 30-15: 00 The capacity will be held on a first-come, first-served basis each time.

After listening to the lecture of the garden volunteer guide, such as the outline of the restored "Tsubame no Ochiya", the history of the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, etc., it is said that the name "Tsubame no Ochiya" was derived from the name "Tsubame no Ochiya", which is not usually seen, is said torabbit ear iris.

And enjoy the view of the large spring water (tideiri pond) from the room, which would have been tasted by the general, his wife, and the public family.

 

      

 

"Tsubame's Ochiya" is an Ochiya built during the era of the 11th Shogun Ienari, which is one size smaller than other Ochiyaya, and it is a building with a strong characteristic of Sukiya architecture. It seems that the general himself thinks about entertaining, eating, and waka as a venue for entertaining (flowers and parlors), dining, and waka.

I hear that "Hawk's Ochiya" is scheduled to be restored by 2017 and "Yon Liaokan" by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

      

         

 

 

 

 

At the Hamarikyu Garden, Kibana cosmos is currently blooming orange flowers.

 

The plant height is lower than the cosmos that bloom in autumn, and blooms early. At the end of Kibana Cosmos, the flower garden is dyed with pink cosmos.

 

There is also a bright red red spider lily here and there in the garden.

Originally native to southern China, it seems to be a historical naturalized plant that came from China in the old age.

 

Hagi is also one of the seven herbs in autumn during flowering and is a flower familiar to Japanese people.

 

This is also the autumn seven herbs, golden lace

 

At the start of Silver Week, the garden was crowded with people who came to see the autumn flowers.

I enjoyed ukiyo-e like that.
On the way, at Yamamoto-noriten, we saw seasoned laver, and at Eitaro Sohonpo, saw a wonderful signboard and book, and purchased candy from Nihonbashi Bijin.

In addition, I've also seen pictures of "Bikunihashi Snow", "Tsukuda Shima Sumiyoshi Festival", and "Kyobashi Takekashi" at Akiba Pharmacy in Kyobashi.

A walk around the beauty is also fun. In addition, the ART Rally, the stamp version Ukiyo-e Rally, and

Along the street on the right side of Shin-ohashi-dori St. from Tsukiji to Hatchobori, crossing the Irifune Bridge (orange part in the map below), there is a lot of flowers that bloom along the right side of Shin-ohashi-dori St.

 

It is characterized by a large flower that hangs downward, and is one of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus of the genus.

In the horticultural name, it is called angel trumpet, angel trumpet.

 

There is also an eggplant plant called Chosen Asagao, but this is an annual plant, and there is a difference that flowers bloom upwards.

 

By the way, the flower of the Japanese squirrel has a good scent, but it seems that it is better not to touch it with a damaged hands because both the flowers and leaves contain alkaloid poisons.

 

 

　I would like to express my sincere condolences to all readers.

　

　When it's hot, shaved ice is the best.

Today, I visited a shop called "Snow under the Snow" that I had been worried about for a long time.

It is located on the 3rd floor of the building with large tomatoes.

You can't sit on your seat until your friend arrives. I also understood the rules of such shops.

Inside the store, seen from the landing on the stairs, there are about 8 chairs sitting outside.

There are about 10 seats in the store. It's an open space.

　

To heal your thirst, start with shaved ice!

　

Today, I ordered "Mori Han Matcha Ice" and "Yamanashi Southern Japanese Alps Momo Ice".

　Although it is astringent matcha, it matches perfectly with a grain bean paste.

The ice covered with natural peach nectar on the right conveys the sweetness of this peach to the taste buds as if it appeals, "It's a real peach!" Happiness

　

Next is a popular pancake. There are many different types.

Ginzo is made of Japanese-grown pure cream and toppings of grain ann.

"Green of Makinohara Tea in Shizuoka". My friend says, "Ehime lemon, icing."

Both are cold toppings on a warm pancake. It's an exquisite combination.

　

　The clerk prepared a straw so that you could drink the melted shaved ice.

It is made of silver that responds to the casual hospitality with a smile. Merci beaucoup !

　

The pancake looked small, but it was quite voluminous, and even walking to Yurakucho Station, the feeling of fullness continued.

This shop seems to be a very popular shop, and when we went out at 18:45, more than 10 people were waiting on the stairs.

　

The address is about 10m in front of Showa-dori from Chuo-ku government office.　

　Those who like sweet life.
