GINZA SIX and "Code Training Institute Monument"

1. June 29, 2017 12:00

The architect Yoshio Taniguchi, who is currently in charge of the exterior design of GINZA SIX, writes the Nikkei Shimbun's "My Resume" every day, and I look forward to it every day, but if I read the 27th this morning, "!" I found a description and went to "confirmation" immediately.

Two months have passed since the opening of the business, but the flow of people around 6-chome gives the impression that it has been quite different from before. Did you know that there is a "Code Training Center Monument" in the planting in front of the Chuo-dori of this building? It's a small rectangular shape, so it's likely to overlook it, but it's the birthplace of Hitotsubashi University with a black stone roof on a red stone. We know that "1875 (1895) Arinori Mori opened as a private school was repeatedly renamed and reorganized, and Hitotsubashi University was established in 1949 (1949)" (Shimonoshiri Encyclopedia, Chuo-ku). It will be that many. I knew that there was a "Code Training Center Monument" on the front and "Hitotsubashi University Birthplace" on the side facing the road, but this time I confirmed the side. There was!

It's "Design Yoshiro Taniguchi". Yoshiro Taniguchi is the father of Yoshio Taniguchi, a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology who is famous for designing the Higashimiya Imperial Palace, the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art, Meiji Village, and others. Yoshio Taniguchi is written as follows. "About 10 years ago when I started working on the design of GINZA SIX, I noticed something walking along Chuo-dori. The name of my father was engraved as the designer of the monument. I was really surprised when I discovered the smallest architecture in Ginza in front of Ginza's largest architecture that started designing," a family of a Chinese tourist was taking a commemorative photo in front of the monument. It's a bit fun to say, "The big and small works of the architect's father and child are lined up on the street."

 

"Code Training Center Monument" faces Ginza 6-10 Chuo-dori.

Loft Ginza store opened Ginza Loft Open

[Silver] June 26, 2017 18:00

 Ginza Loft, which uses the 3rd to 6th floors of "Ginza Bellvia Hall" facing Namiki-dori St., opened on June 23, 2017.

I went on the first day of opening, so I will report it briefly.

1498211741725.jpg

First of all, about the 6th floor. On the 6th floor, travel and mobile tools are sold under the concept of "Next Creation".

There are plenty of small items such as large bags, pouches, and earplugs that are necessary for travel. Anime character goods such as Mickey Mouse were on sale.

1498211767025.jpg

The 5th floor is a floor with the concept of "work & study". Office supplies were substantial, and there were files to save A3 documents.

The prints of Katsushika Hokusai, posters of foreign passenger ships, etc. were good to decorate your room. In addition, original drawings of cell paintings of anime movies were also on sale. These were only one, so they were sold at a high price.

1498211869749.jpg1498211895923.jpg

What I thought was interesting was the clear file. Please take a look

1498211960617.jpg

There was a work that turned into a parodyi, imitating the famous Botticelli's work, "Birth of Venus".

The fourth floor is the floor of the concept of home solutions. Seasonal rain control products were on sale.

In addition, I was impressed that the bag of the brand atelier Kurz was in a round shape and was colorful.

Miniature whiskey bottles were also sold, so I purchased them as souvenirs. Here, you can find practical things, things that moisturize your life, and something interesting. 

 

 

Relaxing Ginza Yu

[Cotton] June 26, 2017 14:00

Hello, this is a cotton that I like public bath.

 

In addition to Kinharuyu-san introduced earlier, there is another public bath in Ginza.

Today, I would like to introduce Ginza Yu in Ginza 1-chome.

 

The location is near Kyobashi on Ginza Chuo-dori, and if you walk about 100 meters toward Showa-dori at the Ginza-dori Exit intersection, you will find a park on the left. It's on the left and right in front of the viaduct of the highway that passes through the park, turns left at the next intersection and runs forward.

Ginza Yu_Table_180_200.jpg Japanese shop curtain 2_180_200.jpg

After passing through the curtain dyed with Ginza-yu on a dark blue background, the right is ladies' bath. The left is men's bath.

 

The door of the clog box is transparent and the shoes inside can be seen through. You can see the location of your shoes right away.

Ginza Yugeta Box 200_175.jpg

 

When I opened the door, there was a guard stand beside the entrance, and the woman's husband shouted, "Welcome." You will pay the bath fee here. It seems that it was renewed in 2013, but I'm glad that there is a watch. It has a different taste than a super public bath.

 

And the first impression of the dressing room based on white is clean = YllacleanYllaliness. You can see that they are cleaning carefully.

Roca Hara_131_150.jpgAlso, since the height of the 70 lockers is up to the waist, you can see the entire dressing room and feel wide. It's great for women with lots of luggage because they can put clothes on the locker and change clothes. In addition, both the shoebox and the locker are the keys that do not require coins, so you don't have any coins.

 

Let's go to the bathroom.

This is also based on white, and there is a bright window on the wall. In public baths in the city surrounded by buildings, the number of places where natural light comes in has decreased. The next door is built taking advantage of the location of expressways and parks.

 

And a mosaic painting on the bathtub I had.

The women's bath is the fireworks of the Sumida River

Tile picture 3_332_150.jpg

 

men's bath is a view of Ginza 4-chome

Tile picture 1_332_150.jpg

 

The bathtub is a little deep and a bathtub with a jet bath. The temperature ranges from 40 to 41 degrees.

The hot water that you enter while watching the mosaic picture is just the right amount of water that I like.

A large ventilation fan is fully rotated on the bathtub, and fresh air enters the bathroom.

Thanks to this ventilation fan, you can take a bath slowly without climbing like an open-air bath even indoors.

 

Chair Hara_114_150.jpgAnd the most worrisome thing was that there was a single high chair near the entrance apart from the low chair common in public baths.

When I asked my husband, "Please use it. We provide services so that elderly people can enter comfortably. ".

I think this is a very important thing.

I think there are many elderly people living alone who say, "It's hard to clean the bath alone and a public bath is better." But I often hear voices saying that it is difficult to enter unlike a bath at home. With such a little care, it will be easier to use.

                 

In addition, Ginza Yu seems to have many foreign customers besides elderly customers.

There are many different countries, and there are many customers outside English-speaking countries.

"The words are somehow good. I explain how to use the bath with gestures. "He answered brightly.

Ginza Yu doesn't have any special indications either sauna or cold water bath, but she has a clean bath and meticulous care.

It was such a public bath that I wanted to go again.
