A bird in Tokyo, the name of the route.

Actually, did you know everyone who was migratory bird?

I lived here in Chuo-ku for more than 15 years, but I learned about this fact only a few months ago.

　

Because I always fly, I always run, this is a train

When I thought I was always there, it was a mistake. 。 。

　

It was the same winter bird as the swan that came to Japan to pass the winter.

It seems that he will soon travel to Siberia to make a family.

　

Pay attention to your face~, yeah

It's like this. Did you get sunburned due to ultraviolet rays?

　

No, you've changed from winter feathers to summer feathers.

Finally, the countdown to Siberia has begun.

　

These squirrels,

It is often found not only on Harumi Wharf, but also on the Hamarikyu Water Bus Departure, Kachidokibashi near the mouth of the Sumida River, and Sumida River Terrace near Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

This is also a charm that Chuo-ku faces Tokyo Bay.

　

 

 

Nihonbashi Nagasakikan, an antenna shop in Nagasaki Prefecture, opened on Monday, March 7 on the first floor of "Urban Net Nihonbashi 2-chome Building" along Eitai-dori St.

　

In recent years, we have seen many antenna shops in Chuo-ku, but "Tokyo Class A Gourmet Vol.1 (2016 January)" "According to the fact that there are 47 antenna shops nationwide from Nihonbashi to Ginza to Tsukiji areas. This is the first time that Nagasaki Prefecture has opened an antenna shop, and it conveys the appeal of Nagasaki, not only the standard products of Nagasaki Prefecture. Dutch trading post, who was stationed in Nagasaki during the Edo period, stayed at Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi during Edo Sanfu once a year and contributed to the selection.

　

The store consists of four zones: 1 "Tourist Information", 2 "Product Sales", 3 "Light Food and Drink", and 4 "Events".

　

①In the "Tourist Information" zone, you can carefully guide you from standard tourist spots to hidden sightseeing spots that are not yet known. In addition, the shelf on the right has tourist pamphlets of the prefecture, so you can check the latest information on Nagasaki here.

　　

②In the "Product Sales" zone, not only classic products such as Castella and Champon, but also excellent products that are not yet known and hidden gems are sold in the Tokyo metropolitan area, "Nagasaki souvenirs that can only be purchased here."

　　

③In the "Event" zone, we will hold sightseeing PR, demonstration sales, and events linked to the "Light Food and Drink" zone. It seems that they are planning a fun event every season. Currently, the opening event "Touching World Heritage in Nagasaki" (March 7-21) is being held. This video introduces the "Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage" registered in World Heritage last July and "Nagasaki Churches and Christianity-related Heritage" aiming to be registered as a World Cultural Heritage with large models (such as Gunkanjima) and powerful images.

　

④In the "Slight meal" Thorn, there is a counter seat where you can taste Nagasaki's specialty sweets, tea, sake, etc. In addition, it seems that you can compare Nagasaki's specialty sake, such as "Iki Shochu", which is said to be the birthplace of barley Shochu.

At "Nihonbashi Nagasakikan", from March 7 (Mon) to 21 (Mon./holiday), a great deal of first sale "Barban behaviour of opening celebration! "It's inside (pictured).

 

 

A warm weekend day　

We crossed Nihonbashi from Chuo-dori and strolled through the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building.

 　

When you get down to B2, it smells very fragrant.　

When you visit the source of fragrance, you will see "Miyakoshi Coffee Shop" in front of you.

Just behind that.

The signboard of "Ongaku no Café" caught my eye, a young man holding a guitar and a woman wearing black clothes soon appeared.

It seems that the performance of the two people with a lot of smiles will begin.

 

　"Lansan Screen 18"

　While having a Laos coffee, I went to the front row seat.

 

　During the performance, the amplitude and singing voice of the guitar string resonated lightly, the melody was very pleasant, and the end ended with the Beatles song.

 　

　On Friday evening, the deep coffee scent and performance matched.

I was able to spend a blissful time.　　

　It is said that this mini concert will be held every Friday and Saturday evening. Please come and visit us.

 

 

On the way of a walk last weekend, I saw a poster (pictured) of "Peach Festival Hina Matsuri" at Sanko Inari Shrine in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho, so I would like to introduce this Inari.

　　　　

Sanko Inari Shrine was Osaka's Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared in Nakamura-za, even though the Kinubu wholesaler Tawaraya Village Koshi Shozaemon and cotton wholesaler Tateishi Sanzo, who lived near the area (formerly Hase Kawamachi), was recommended in the early Edo period. It is said that it was Fushimi since 1689 (Genroku Kan 2). The shrine hall was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and rebuilt in 1924 (Daisho 13). In the same year, Hase Kawamachi and Tadokoromachi merged into Horidome 2-chome, at which time Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin was enshrined. Later, at the time of land readjustment in 1933 (Showa 8), he was transferred to his current location, and the street came to be called Sanko Shindo.

　

Basically, it is an unmanned company, and vermilion seal stamp and others can be awarded at Ningyocho-dori at the fourth cosmetics store Okina (Mr. Obata). According to Mr. Obata, various events have been held every season, including the peach festival (Hina Matsuri), for a long time, but the display of doll decorations seems to have started about ten years ago. The five-tiered doll decorations (pictured) on the worship hall are impressive with a presence that creates a gorgeous and dignified atmosphere. In addition, Sanko Inari Shrine has long been visited by daughters, children, geisha, etc., and it is said that if you make a request when you lose sight of cats as a cat tribe guardian angel. The beckoning cat (pictured) on the precincts is said to have been dedicated by the owners who have returned the cat.

　

The location is on the north side of the subway Ningyo Station, located in the back of a narrow side street on the east side of Ningyocho-dori (in the direction of Kodemmacho), and at the entrance there is a stone sign (pictured) of Sanko Inari Shrine approach. It is a small Inari Shrine that is a bit difficult to understand, but if you are interested in the Hina Matsuri held on March 3 (Thursday) and cats, why not visit once?

 

 

　The date of relocation is also scheduled for November　

　Every day.

Outside the sales floor on Wednesday regular holiday market

I went up to the buildings in the place where the auction is held.

Enter from the place where the clock tower was located, go up to the third floor and go around the parking lot.

The stairs are spacious like elementary school stairs.

If you go to the third floor, you will find a stylish round window.

In a passage with no traffic, the clock is ticking time.　

I'm always busy, the wholesale company is quiet today.

From the top of the parking lot building, you will see the city.

The buildings of St. Luke Hospital Kachidoki Tsukishima Tsukuda are beautiful.

　The Tsukiji Market will be relocated from November 2 to 6.

　The market will open in New Toyosu on July 7.
