Monday, the twenty-third. The typhoon hit the Kanto region last night, but it will be clear from now on. I walked on Ginza Street on weekdays for the first time in a long time.
Ginza Street is a typical street in Japan. From Kyobashi to Shimbashi, it runs through the streets of Ginza from 1-chome to 8-chome.

Needless to say, it is a very beautiful cityscape, and its well-balanced landscape feels like being conscious of the "vertical line".
I thought that this spring, a building with a "horizontal line" appeared as if a new wind was blowing into Ginza Street. It is "GINZA SIX" built on the site of Ginza Matsuzakaya, Ginza 6-chome.
Even now, I went to this "GINZA SIX" for the first time.
I came without any information, so I got a guide map at the entrance for the time being.
In the guide map, there are horizontal alphabet shops lined up in a row, which makes you feel amazing. Looking inside from the entrance, I felt that the atmosphere was much more luxurious than I had imagined.
When I entered with a nervous feeling that I came to a place a little out of place, I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere of this department store, and as I first came to the department store as a child, I got on the escalator in front of me. I go upstairs more and more upstairs without going downstairs on the way. In a different sense, no, literally, it became a climber.
In the center, a luxuriously huge atrium is created, and the walls are designed like grids and diagonal lines are often used. It's a very high quality.
Given this atmosphere, it may not be appropriate to call this commercial facility a "department store" in the first place. But I don't know what to call it, so I'll call it a "department store" here.
Speaking of department stores, after all, the rooftop. If you look at the map, there is also a rooftop in this department store. The pictures of Tokyo Tower and the Sky Tree are written, so it must be seen from the rooftop.
When I was a child, the rooftop of the department store was Wonderland. The only memory of going to a department store is the memory of going to the rooftop. If this is the case, it seems that it will probably go straight to the rooftop today.
But the escalator ends on the 6th floor. The upper floor is an office floor, and it seems that you have to use an elevator from here to get to the rooftop.
I walked a little on the 6th floor. The scent of coffee drifting in a bookstore with a calm atmosphere. And above all, it's bright. I felt on a very attractive floor. It was a luxurious space like saying that when you come to a bookstore, you will stay long, but you should stay long.
Take advantage of the temptation to stay for a long time here, get on the elevator and go to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, quite large trees were planted, and I was surprised that there was a lot of greenery. It seems to be called "rooftop garden". It is a rooftop with an adult feeling like Ginza. In addition, it is also possible to tour around the square building so that you can see 360 degrees.
Today it was a typhoon, so I was able to see it beautifully far away. The Tokyo Tower and the Sky Tree can be easily found.
If you come to Ginza for a trip from a distance, I would like to see Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree, but if you don't have time to see it, it might be better to come here.
There is also a shrine on this roof. "Kakugo Inari Shrine" was also located in Matsuzakaya. It is one of the shrines of Ginza Hatcho Shrine.
Visit Ginza Hatcho Shrine. I've always wanted to go around for a long time, but I haven't experienced it yet. This year is from Wednesday, November 1 to 3 (holiday). Will you be able to go this year? I think it's probably a great event to walk around the city of Ginza.

Well, what should I do from now on? Yes, the department store is under Depa. Looking at the map, it seems that this department store also has a depa basement.
Oh~~~. It is written as "Oginoya". The kettle of the Yokokawa pass. I miss you very much. I really like the glasses bridge at Usui Pass, and I went there many times. And it was usual to eat kettles. I'm sure the autumn leaves are beautiful now.
In the city of Ginza, successful shops in rural areas and cities around the world will open with dreams. There are several shops that I like, but I would like to support this "Oginoya" as well. Above all, I was very happy that there was a shop that I knew in this "GINZA SIX". I would like to go underground and stop by immediately.
