3 buildings of Ten Makuhari
It seems that beer, Masamune, oden, dumplings, cider, etc. were very successful.

1 Nihonbashi Memorial Magazine
There is a contributor to Eiichi Shibusawa's celebration.
He compares Western Europe and New York, USA, to express his own ideas.
What kind of content is it?
We hope that those who are inferior but interested will actually work at each library and confirm it.

There is such a great material in the regional reference room in Chuo-ku.
We hope that you will reaffirm the importance of storing local materials.

It's a completely opposite blog, always passive.
It's an article with lots of quotes that don't look like me.
I'm very sorry.

Light more in the civil engineering industry!
