Ginza Sakura-dori St. is located in Ginza 1-chome and is a literal row of cherry blossom trees extending east and west along the Metropolitan Expressway.

This street is not as crowded as the main street in Ginza, but it is a fun street with antenna shops in Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures, as well as delicious bread shops.

Yoshino cherry tree is now in full bloom on this street.

However, what is often planted on this street is a variety called "Kanzan" of Yaezakura, which blooms later than Yoshino cherry tree.

Kanzan is Yaezakura, which blooms from mid-April to early May, and the colors of flowers and buds are darker than Yoshino cherry tree.

It seems that if there are many petals, it will exceed 50.

It seems that the flower has a long period of time, so you can enjoy it for a long time.

From Sotobori-dori St. side, walk along this Ginza Sakura-dori St. and reach Chuo-dori Street, you will reach the intersection of Ginza Street Exit right next to Kyobashi.

At the main pillar of Kyobashi, "Yaebenishidarezakura" is planted, and this is also currently blooming.

This is a little darker pink yaezakura than Yoshino cherry tree, and it is very beautiful with yellow green leaves of young leaves.

 

 

　In the spring, at Ginza Sakura-dori St., you can appreciate the beautifully blooming `` Yoshino cherry tree '', taste the dishes, and tilt the cup and glass from Ginza 1-chome, Tsukiji Police Station Ginza 1-chome police box to the antenna shop Ibaraki. CAFE BOHEME, ZEST CANTFE, MONON CAFE, MONON

　

　From Chuo-dori, enter the CAFE LA BOHEME of this building.

It's like a cave.

　It will be "exciting feeling" like going to explore these shops.

　

At the shop on the first floor or at the Izakaya Gonpachi on the second floor.

You can enjoy the cherry blossoms of "Yoshino cherry tree" from the inside of the store facing Ginza Sakura-dori St. The full March will be the expiration date of the cherry blossoms.　

And around mid-April, you can enjoy Yae-zakura, such as Sekiyama, where a lot of flowers bloom on Ginza Sakura-dori St.

　By the way, the address of the shop is 1-2-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku.

Let's go and see "1, 2, 3" without hesitation!

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

The other day, an event I found while reading an e-mail magazine for the child-rearing generation of NHK.

"I found it! I went to Mirai City Rally!


"METoA Ginza (Meto Aginza)".

I went there for the first time at this event, but the place is in a corner of Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

This is a place where many people can learn about Mitsubishi Electric's technology and technology.

It's not just a technology, but a concept that we want to connect with culture and society.

It is a space where you can feel discoveries and surprises.

And ... "I found it!"

I think the child-rearing generation knows with a considerable probability.

A lot of attractive characters such as the chair character "Kossi" appear.

The main target is a program for children between the ages of 4 and 6.

Personally, is the target a little older brother or older sister than "I'm with my mom"?

I also like that there are many points where adults laugh quite a bit.

Of course, my daughter, Azuki (2 years old), also said, "Koshishi !!" ！"I'm wearing it.

The broadcast is E-Tele, and the main broadcast is from 7:45 to 8:00 on weekdays. The rebroadcast is from 16:45 to 17:00.

And ... "I found it! What is Mirai City Rally?

This is being held at METoA Ginza

"Smooth Access City - Let's go to the future of the city."

In this event, stamps of chairs and other characters such as Kossi were placed.

It is designed so that you can get a glimpse of the future city while stamping the venue.

If you collect all the stamps

In commemoration, "Original coloring" will be presented!

I was pointing my feet with the image of "Kossi's Stamp Rally".

My daughter Azuki enjoyed "Hankopetan" as much as she wanted.

It's a new mechanism for automatic ticket gates that don't have to touch.

It is an elevator that supports skyscrapers

It is a technology that supports barrier-free

It was also an exhibition that adults could see very interestingly.

There is also a corner where you can take a commemorative photo with Kossi & Sabo (a superstar in the cactus world).

There is also a service that allows you to print out the photos on the spot.

I think it's perfect for a little outing during the spring break.

"I found it! The Mirai City Rally will be held until April 8 (Sun).

The opening time is from 11:00 to 19:00.

Please come and visit METoA Ginza.

"Yoyuki Exhibition"-The trajectory of creative dolls-was started in Matsuya Ginza on the 21st of the triumphal Paris and umbrella Kotobuki Memorial. Following the success of the exhibition in Paris for the first time in 12 years, this exhibition, which is the first time in eight years in Tokyo, says, "This time, from overseas stories such as early Cinderella and Peter Pan, the theme of Japanese nostalgia We will exhibit about 150 works, including 70 new works, including hymns for children living in "now". " (From the exhibition guide). The doll created by Yuuki Yo, who is popular not only in Japan but also around the world, is not just a doll, but a creature with a soul. Visitors look very carefully one by one, so the line does not go easily. I decided to go on the reverse course. The last waited was Takeshi Beat entitled "Oira" and Joji of "Tokoro-san". It's just like I'm talking to you. I can't get tired of seeing the expressions of the children playing soccer. You can see the gentle gaze of Yoyuki. Children in the Taisho era and early Showa eras sitting in front of snacks also heard voices from the venue saying, "I miss kimonos."

　

At the entrance, Mr. Yukiyo's words, "I think dolls have a doll's life."

　

What will the future life of the dolls that have been blown into Yoyuki?

When I went out of the venue, I saw the sign of "Kagura Sakaki no Zen". There's an eat-in corner. It was a "regular holiday" when I went out once because it was a famous sweet shop. This is the first time. I went in immediately and made it "Kuzumochi" because I was worried. The people around me enjoy the most famous "Anmitsu". When you leave the shop, the next door is Tsutsui in Shinkawa. Oh! There was also an omurice! I shouldn't have been surprised at this. In addition, next to the store is "Cafe Paulista", the birthplace of "Gin Bra".

　

Of course, the exhibition is also available, but the eat-in corner cannot be removed. It seems that the shop will change in the first and second half of the exhibition, so I have to come again. The first half is until the 27th.

　

Yoyuki Exhibition Until April 10, Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square

Closed at 17:00 on the last day from 10:00 to 20:00

Admission fee: General 1200 yen

　

 

 

"Tokyu Plaza Ginza" opened in March 2016, and two years have already passed.

The design of the exterior of the building has become a hot topic that expresses "Edo Kiriko", and I sometimes wanted to drink it with such a fine cut glass.

And the restaurant I wanted to come from before is THE APOLLO.　Located on the 11th floor of the building, Harumi-dori St., Sotobori-dori St. and the Imperial Palace can also be seen, and the view is very wonderful.　The night view will be very nice.

　This is a Greek restaurant.

I learned that healthy Greek dishes made with fresh ingredients and plenty of olive oil, fresh vegetables and seafood are registered in the World Intangible Cultural Property.

For salads, mix olives, tomatoes and cucumbers with a smooth, rich and salty "feta cheese" with a spoon.　This is different from the cheeses of other European countries and is quite exotic.　　Bread is also a little rare.

And it's like "tomato rice using long-grained rice" that you put a little powdered cheese, but that's not the case. It's a Greek pasta.

　Greek pasta is like long grain rice.

　And I saw a bottle of sake called METAXA for the first time in a long time.　I've heard that it was a purveyor of the Greek royal family.

I think the taste was brandy with a taste similar to the French [Almanac].

This time, in the evening, I would like to drink with a glass like Edo Kiriko.

And then

Even if you think, "I want to go to see the Parthenon shrine!", So you can't easily go to Greece, so why don't you feel like traveling here?
