Tokyo Marathon 2017 Support from Nihonbashi to Sukiyabashi

[Silver] February 28, 2017 16:00

 The Tokyo Marathon 2017 was held on February 26 (Sun), and "Wilson Kipsang" from Kenya, who has greatly updated the tournament record of 2 hours 3 minutes 58 seconds, won the championship.

I went from Nihonbashi Muromachi, where the course was changed this year, to Kyobashi, Ginza, Sukiyabashi, and beautiful Chuo-ku, which became picturesque, supporting the players, and seeing volunteer activities of everyone along the road.

The Mitsui Main Building in Nihonbashi Muromachi and the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store are both important cultural properties. It's a refreshing smile of the runners running in front of them.

 The runners passed the "Japan Road Mark". "Nabashi Nihonbashi" is also an important cultural property.

 Mimi of Japanese food from Cored Nihonbashi. We had a tasting sale of warm and delicious sea bream soup and flying fish soup stock. I ordered a third cup of sea bream, flying fish soup, sea bream soup, and a third cup of replacement, and purchased "sea bream soup". It was a very thankful tasting sale when it was cold. This is 10km point.

 By the way, in front of "Haibara" of Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower, a dancer from Fukagawa danced cheerfully and supported the runners.

 Even before Takashimaya, many people cheered their voices hoarse and supported them. This building has also been designated as the first important cultural property as a department store building.

In front of BVLGARI. Foreign runners also run through. It's an international competition.

 The runners turn right in front of GINZA PLACE, the corner of Ginza Mitsukoshi, and run toward Sukiyabashi.

 My throat was a bit dry, so from Kiriko Rounge on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza. While drinking a little coffee, look down at the intersection of Sukiyabashi, and cheerful runners will run through. This is 30 km away.

12km away. We cheered, "Do your best to the goal," and enjoyed a stroll from Marunouchi Nakadori to the goal of Wadakuramon. Well, after all, the buildings in Chuo-ku are beautiful as pictures.

In this exhibition, using the life cycle of plants as a motif, the invisible "connection" of life was dynamically shown by combining glass objects and light.

The glass work made by the technique of burner work looked like pollen of plants, seeds and cells, and was full of life.

I felt mystical beauty and dynamism

At the venue where the lights were turned off, a fantastic world was spreading with effective light.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] February 23, 2017 16:00

Premium Friday is approaching

This week's February 24th (Friday) will be the first Premium Friday.

Premium Friday is the name of a campaign that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations, etc., calls on companies to respond to the prospect of 3:00 p.m. on Friday of every month to stimulate personal consumption .

Estimated estimates show that if employees of major domestic companies and small and medium-sized enterprises finish their work at 3:00 pm and consume shopping, travel, entertainment, etc., consumption will be about 123 billion yen per day, It is estimated that the scale will be comparable to the size of the Halloween market. What will happen?

The sweets of Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel were wonderful.

[kimitaku] February 22, 2017 12:00

Saturday, February 18th, at Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel

The 9th Chuo-ku Tourism Association Tourism Certification Test was held.

  

A lot of people went to the test site with a sense of tension.

 

I couldn't sleep well the day before, and I went to the test site.

When you head to the entrance

The smiles of the tourist association staff were very nice.

Surrounded by a smile, he relaxed my tension.

 

Stay calm and go upstairs and take a break.

 Will it be displayed at the wedding reception?

 I thought that the customers who receive this candy would be able to immerse themselves in a very happy feeling.

NISSAN CROSSING at Ginza Place

[Silver] February 21, 2017 18:00

It has been 5 months since Ginza Place opened on September 24, 2016 (Saturday). 

I reported that I went to the underground beer hall, but I didn't go because the ground floor was crowded all the time.

 

Today, when viewed from the intersection of Ginza 4-chome on Ginza Street, it seems vacant, so I went out vigorously saying, "Yosha, go to buy a car!"

When you go up to the 2nd floor, there are two new cars. The future car, which was conscious of 2020, was super cool. I didn't ask the price for it because it's wild.

Looking at the cars and car accessories on display, I was tired, so I sat on a leather seat and saw the Wako clock tower.

 I liked it a little, but the next time I came back to shop, I found a Cafe on my left hand.

Then, when I thought I would drink a little coffee and go home, I was told that I could roast coffee with the design of Nissan cars.

Cookies also look delicious at an affordable price of ¥300 per piece!

 

The coffee I ordered right away, Maki Art, is a coffee made with beans from South America, which is well balanced with milk.

It was a work of art that was regrettable to drink and break the shape. I love NISSAN CROSSING.
