Expansion of Minato Park

[TAKK...] January 9, 2017 09:00

Minato Park, 2-chome Minato, Chuo-ku, has been developed.

In the past, it was a simple park with benches on the lawn, but it seems that it has become a hydrophilic park with a slope and can also be reached on the Sumida River terrace.

It's a sign.

Construction on the Sumida River Terrace side has not been completed, and it seems to be completed at the end of March 2017.

The flow of the Sumida River is a wonderful place.

Kamado-type benches that can be cooked in the event of a disaster (normally open-air fire or cooking is prohibited.)

Solar lighting is also available.

Products include men's and women's clothing, shoes and bags, towels, ties, kimonos, umbrellas, etc.

Japanese garden in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi

[Tachibana] Nov. 16, 2016 18:00

Today (November 14), I accidentally passed through Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.

A Christmas tree is already set up at the entrance of the new building.

When I entered inside, the Japanese garden was always in front of the familiar statue of the heavenly woman.

A pond is built in the center, and the surrounding area is a garden.

A picture of a heavenly woman is drawn on the bottom of the pond.

In addition, chairs were prepared so that you could eat Uji tea and Japanese sweets from Tsuruya Yoshinobu while watching the garden.

But very unfortunately, this event will end on November 15.

I'm sorry for the late information

 

 

 

Betara City

[Tachibana] October 21, 2016 12:00

Today (October 20), I went to "Bettara City".

It's very cold in October when "Betara City" is often October! There are many days, but today's day was a warm day with temperatures rising to about 27 degrees Celsius, and it was not cold at all with a single shirt from evening to night.

This year, I came from Sugimori Shrine.

Kagura was performed on the stage of the shrine.

And at the Bon Dance Festival, people wearing happi coat of "Betara Ondo" were dancing.

There are many shops that are pickled in Betara, but roughly speaking, there are two trains, "Kinhisa" and "Shin Takaya".

niitakaya.jpg               "Shin Takaya" is a blue happi coat

This year, I bought one piece without skin at both shops.
 

 

In addition, a long-established store in Nihonbashi also has stalls and sells for sale.

meijiya.jpgAt Meijiya, coffee was cheap, so I bought it in a big bag.

funasa.jpgI bought Tsukudani in "Kaishin" and "Funasa".

Fir laver was a bargain at "Yamamoto Nori".

In addition, bargain products were lined up at many shops such as "Civilizationdo", "Ninben", and "Eel Ise Sada".

Lion of Yamataka Shappo (Mitsukoshi Ginza store)

[kimitaku] September 16, 2016 14:00

 Walk around Ginza 4-chome, Akihiwa. Cross the intersection from Wako. 

A different atmosphere than usual. The head of the lion statue in Mitsukoshi is black.

 It's a great discovery.

 What a Lion ... he was wearing a big black hat.

 It's not an ancient song of Enoken.

"I'm the most mobo in the village ... Lloyd Glasses like Yamatakashape."

I remembered the song of "Stylish Man".

 A customer who found a lion statue on a hat. Don't touch the hat, stroke your feet

Rush your face. It feels like there is more contact with the skin than before.

 

 From now on, Lion  

 Do you want to drink bura-Brazil coffee in Ginza?

 The lion statue of this hat 

It seems to be an event from September 7th.

From now on, meeting in front of the lion statue will be fun.
