In Ginza, famous brands from all over the world open stores.

The show window of the shop is also unique.

I'd like to introduce some of them today.

It seems interesting to take a closer look at each shop.

　Each store has its corporate philosophy status.

It feels like it's clear.

The decoration of the window is after closing.

Many are done in the middle of the night.

　The Orimine Bee Cars Kachidoki store is located

　The signboard of the big bear bread is a landmark.

　When you enter the store with a bear sign, there is a space where you can relax and choose bread.

　In the back of the window, we are in the middle of the bakery with enthusiasm.

　A genuine and delicious bread that does not use emulsifiers or yeast is baked.

　Invited by the slight fragrance of wheat, I put French bread and some in the basket.

　The last thing that caught my eye was the daiko bread.　

　A small octopus sits on a round bread.

　When you bite French bread　

　The plump scent of wheat spreads in your mouth.　

Each bread is very unique. Idako bread tasted like a blue sea.

Get off at Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line. There is a shop along Kiyosumi-dori.

Unlike yesterday's intense thunderstorm, August 21 was a sunny and hot day today, but the All Japan Tug of War Festival was held at the Chuo Ward Sports Center in Hamacho Park.

Of course, the main is a serious battle between "General", "Junior Youth", "Champman Women" and "Champman Men".

It is an embedded shield with gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the winning teams of each part.

It's a battle with every effort.

On the other hand, during the lunch break, there was a tug-of-war between the children, the sumo wrestlers in the Arashio room, and the beautiful women in the middle of Miss Chuo.

Even if you say children, I can't be reckoned because I practice properly as a team.

The opponent

Or,

　
And finally, peaceful

The tug-of-war is good because it is held in an air-conditioned gymnasium, but the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification booth and the old-fashioned play corner of the tourist association are stalls made outdoors in the park, so it is very hot. Among them, the correspondents of the tourist association, the tourist association, and the Miss Chuo were working hard with sweat.
Thank you very much for all of you.

Take a walk at Toyoumi Wharf on a hot day in July.

Looking at Harumi Wharf on the opposite shore, a big sailing ship was found.

I was anchored against the background of Rainbow Bridge.

Compared to the pier observation deck, you can feel the size of the ship.

When I approached the hull toward Harumi Wharf. There is a golden emblem on the bow.

It was shining brightly in the morning sun.

It is a pity that Kaiomaru II (pictured in the center above) cannot be seen near the anchorage near Shin-Toyomi Bridge at Harumi Wharf.

Nippon Maru Kaiomaru is sometimes anchored at Harumi Pier. It's unusual for both to be anchored.

At Chanogi Shrine (in the premises of Rigare Nihonbashi Ningyocho), the ninth tea ceremony was held on Sunday, May 1 of "88 Nights" counting from Ritsuharu.

After the ceremony, tasting of new tea (Kagoshima, Uji, Shizuoka) and mini-lectures by the Japan Tea Instructors Association were also held.

We enjoyed this year's new tea (three kinds) in fine weather in May.

<History of Chanogi Shrine>

In the Tokugawa period, Inari, who was enshrined as a guardian deity in the Nakayashiki of the Shimousa Sakura feudal lord Hotta family, was the origin of Chanogi Shrine. At that time, the tea tree that was planted around the shrine is the origin of the name of the shrine, but tea trees are still planted at Chanogi Shrine on the left and right of the shrine.

For a long time, it was revered as protective god against fire outbreaks because there was no fire not only in the residence of the Hotta family but also in the neighborhood. It is not clear how it was decided at the current location, but it has continued to be protected by various people, and since 1933 (Showa 8), neighborhood associations such as Kakigara-cho and Ningyo-cho have been protecting. Was. In 1985 (Showa 60), he joined one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods tour companies. After that, the former shrine hall was rebuilt again in 2008 after an urban redevelopment project in the Nihonbashi Ningyocho district. At present, it has been worshiped as a god of Fukutoku harmony and disaster prevention.

I walked through the closed market of Tsukiji Market in spring.

On the day of the opening of the market, Shiomachi Chaya is also deserted.

What was Shiomachi Chaya? When there was a market in Nihonbashi　

Transport by ship is actively carried out.

The Nihonbashi River is shallow and low tide makes it impossible to ship.

A place where I was resting while waiting for the high tide.

The fruits and vegetables are only piled up with pallets.

There is a curved building, which is in the middle of Showa.　　

It is also a remnant of the Japanese National Railways railway line running.

Since its relocation from Nihonbashi in 1935

In about half a year, the Tsukiji Market also moved to Toyosu Market.　　

All buildings reminiscent of the good times of Showa are also demolished.

Let's take a look at these buildings now.
