A huge light engraving "STAR" (by Tokuhito Yoshioka) right next to the front entrance of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu. It has a very strong presence. The object of the metal star was filled with water under it. At night, do you reflect the neon lights of the city and the lights of the car and shine like a "star"?
I'd like to see it at night.

The other is "Mountain Range" on the Kyobashi side (Takasaku Kuribayashi).
It's a huge mountain-like object of lava and has a great impact. There is a glass-paved passage in the middle where people can pass, and it looks like a theme park attraction. From the road on the south side, it looks like a Fujizuka.
There were people who approached and looked at the object with interest.

On the first basement floor, there are 13 stores including cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, bakeries, pharmacies, etc.
When you enter from the underground entrance directly connected to the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center, you will find shops on both sides of the large passage.

Standing sushi Nemuro Hanamaru
I entered the "Standing Sushi Nemuro Hanamaru", which I was most concerned about. In Tokyu Plaza in Ginza, there is a rotary sushi and standing sushi "Nemuro Hanamaru", but this is only standing sushi. The stories sent directly from Nemuro and all over Hokkaido are fresh. It was a bit different from ordinary spinning sushi. You can order one by one and the price is reasonable.
I couldn't settle down because I couldn't get used to it, but during the Edo period I felt like I was eating sushi sold at a stall.

Okinawa Soul Food "Poe Tama"
Another shop, I was worried about was Poe Tama, a specialty store for Okinawa Soul Food "Pork Egg Onigiri". This rice ball is made of pork luncheon meat and eggs sandwiched between rice and seaweed. In Okinawa, it seems that there are many convenience stores and lunch boxes, but I didn't know.
Handmade one by one after receiving the order, so you can eat it warmly.

Municipal Joto Elementary School has opened on the lower floor overhanging the southeastern part of the Kyobashi side of Midtown Yaesu.
Before the building was built, Joto Elementary School, which was hidden in the valley of office buildings and was not very noticeable, and I saw elementary school students walking in the office district in groups, where was elementary school? I wondered.
Joto Elementary School is an elementary school with a history dating back to Kyobashi Showa Elementary School, which was built as a reconstruction elementary school after the Great Kanto Earthquake, similar to Yasuaki Elementary School and Joban Elementary School, and was one of the elementary schools where modern buildings in the early Showa era remained .

It is the first time in Japan that a public elementary school enters such a high-rise building. "Bulgari Hotel Tokyo" is located on the high floor of Midtown Yaesu, so it was ridiculed as "Bulgari Elementary School" and became a hot topic.
Although it is a specially-approved school that can go to school from outside the school district, the lottery rate for applicants in April 2022 seems to have been very popular with 13 times. Speaking of elementary schools with a luxurious image in Chuo-ku, Yasuaki Elementary School in Ginza, which became a hot topic in Armani's uniform, is likely to join this group, and Joto Elementary School is attracting attention.

Following Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, redevelopment of the Yaesu 1-chome east area across Yaesu Street has begun. Small commercial and office buildings are densely packed, and restaurants and bars that leave the remnants of the Showa era have been demolished and completely disappeared.

The photo was taken from the intersection of Yaesu Nakadori and Sakura-dori St. A large crane was working on a vast site.

Three years later, the high-rise building, scheduled to be completed in April 2025, is 51 floors above ground, exceeding Midtown Yaesu, and is about 250 meters high. On the lower floor, we plan to have a shopping and restaurant area, theaters, medical facilities, and indoor plazas.

The Yaesu area is changing every day. What kind of city will it be in three years?
