Signpost of stamp rally, Chuo-ku
stamp rally, Chuo-ku, has been extended until March 31.
※ The period shown in the photo is before the extension.
I knew that there was an event on posters and leaflets posted at the tourist information center.
"Oh, I'm going to do it this year." It was a good idea.
However, as the last day of the event approached, it seemed wasteful to pass through as it was.
When I had free time for one day, the "correspondent soul" that wanted to experience and provide information on my own was ignited.
Some say, "The correspondents always walk in the ward, but also stamp rally," but even if they are correspondents, they do not always appear in Chuo-ku.
Finding and following places for checkpoints and hints is a good clue to rediscover the ever-changing city of Tokyo.
Well, what is the characteristic of stamp rally this time?
・There are 16 checkpoints.
・A checkpoint has been added to the Pokemon Center and subway stations.
・In collaboration with Pokemon (Pokemon), Pokemon who dressed as related to Chuo-ku appeared on the stamp.
・Read the two-dimensional code to get a stamp.
・Participation awards, achievement awards, etc. are set.
Go to the world of Pokemon!
Pokemon Center Tokyo DX & Pokemon Cafe is located on the 5th floor of the East Building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C.
Because of this event, I had the opportunity to meet.
There is a direct elevator in the back of the East Building.
In the elevator hall, you will be greeted by familiar Pokemon.
Some people were taking a commemorative photo.
Today, I cross the connecting passage from the 8th floor of the Takashimaya Main Building to the East Building.
The walls were full of Pokemon.
It's an irresistible entrance for those who love it.
At the end of the passage, there is an entrance that invites you to the world of Pokemon.
"Mobig Gon" with a fluffy stomach was sleeping on his back.
The pattern on the wall is shaped with various Pokemon silhouettes.
It's very fashionable.
The children will be good at each of them.
In addition, the shop behind it is lined with stuffed animals, trading cards, and many related goods.
It's a character that is gaining worldwide popularity, so if it wasn't such a situation, overseas enthusiastic fans would have been crowded.
Let's take a look at the map.
This time, the Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway common one-day ticket was 900 yen.
I thought this would be the best way to go around 16 checkpoints efficiently.
Bicycles are convenient for traveling, but securing parking spaces is an issue.
In the back, I put a map of Chuo-ku with a checkpoint mark.
Nevertheless, when leaving the subway station, it is essential to check the campus map.
If you make a mistake in the entrance, you will lose a considerable amount of time.
When you go out to the ground, check the area map.
If it is the first subway station, you want to check the direction of east, west, north and south when you go to the ground.
My wife uses the map app, but still makes a mistake.
Because they start walking with unfounded assumptions without checking their current location.
The checkpoints of the subway station cannot be reckoned
The photo of the subway station, which is a checkpoint, shows the entrance on the ground.
Even if you look around the entrance on the ground, you will not find a poster with a two-dimensional code.
The installation location is described in the app.
Let's hold the position firmly.
I made a round trip about twice between the ticket gate at Kayabacho Station and the stairs above the ground.
The checkpoint at Tsukiji Honganji Temple was found on the bulletin board right away from the entrance of the subway station.
From there, I saw the roof of main hall at a nice angle.
2D code of checkpoint
There are several types of posters with two-dimensional codes, from large ones to small stand-type ones.
If you assume only one size, you pass by without noticing.
If you don't know, ask with a smile, "Where is it installed?"
The person in charge will surely tell you kindly.
There are points that you can never make mistakes.
It's Ginza Shochiku Square.
In front of the large stairs at the entrance, we were able to see 5 places just by looking around.
I was able to prevent crowds, and in a sense, I felt clean.
If you have free time, why not participate in an event under the bright sky?
You can enjoy a new meeting in stamp rally.
