銀座(Ginza)

銀座(Ginza)是東京最主要的繁華商業街。以其華麗高雅、雍容大方、充滿成熟浪漫氣息而著稱。銀座大街，以銀座四丁目十字路口為最繁華，橫貫銀座的中央大道往南通往新橋，往北則可達著名電器街秋葉原。銀座的地價在世界上屈指可數，銀座的物價為世界之最。銀座既有百年老店，也有令人目不暇接的新潮店鋪。節假日的步行者天國，又讓人感受銀座的自由和愜意。銀座是富有魅力的大街，而四丁目則是感受歷史和時代的交差點。

Ginza (銀座?) is a district of Chūō, Tokyo, located south of Yaesu and Kyōbashi, west of Tsukiji, east of Yūrakuchō and Uchisaiwaichō, and north of Shinbashi.

It is known as an upscale area of Tokyo with numerous department stores, boutiques, restaurants and coffeehouses. Ginza is recognized as one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world. Many upscale fashion clothing flagship stores are located here, being also recognized as having the highest concentration of western shops in Tokyo. Prominent are Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.[1] Flagship electronic retail stores like the Sony showroom and the Apple Store are also here.

History:
Ginza is named after the silver-coin mint established there in 1612 during the Edo period.
Ginza as it appeared in the late 1870s-1880s (Miniature model at the Edo-Tokyo Museum)After the Tsukiji area burnt to the ground in 1872, the Meiji government designated the Ginza area as model of modernisation. The government planned the construction of fireproof brick buildings, and larger, better streets connecting the Shimbashi Station and the foreign concession in Tsukiji, as well as to important government buildings. Designs for the area were provided by the Irish-born architect Thomas Waters; the Bureau of Construction of the Ministry of Finance was in charge of construction. In the following year, a Western-style shopping promenade on the street from the Shinbashi bridge to the Kyōbashi bridge in the southwestern part of Chūō with two- and three-story Georgian brick buildings was completed.

"Bricktown" buildings were initially offered for sale, later they were leased, but the high rent meant that many remained unoccupied. Nevertheless, the area flourished as a symbol of "civilisation and enlightenment", thanks to the presence of newspapers and magazine companies, who led the trends of the day. The area was also known for its window displays, an example of modern marketing techniques.

Most of these European-style buildings disappeared, but some older buildings still remain, most famously the Wakō building with the now-iconic Hattori Clock Tower. The building and clock tower were originally built by Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko.

Its recent history has seen it as a promiment outpost of western luxury shops. Ginza is a popular destination on weekends, when the main north-south artery is closed to traffic. The traffic blockade began in the 1960s under governor Ryokichi Minobe.

歌舞伎座(Kabukiza)

日比谷公園(Hibiya Park)位於東京市中心，是日本修建的第一座西洋式的公園。園內樹木成蔭，花香草綠，公園中央廣場建有一座大型噴泉，噴泉附近有一座露天音樂廳，經常舉辦一些演出活動。公園內還設有東京都立日比谷圖書館。日比谷公園是個怡心養性的都市中的花園綠地。由此眺望日比谷的群樓，更顯都市氣息。出日比谷公園正門，便是著名的帝國飯店，寶塚歌劇院和日比谷香蒂時裝城。

Hibiya Park (日比谷公園, Hibiya Kōen?) is a park in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, Japan. It covers an area of 161,636.66m2 between the east gardens of the Imperial Palace to the north, the Shinbashi district to the southeast and the Kasumigaseki government district to the west.

The land was occupied by the estates of the Mōri clan and Nabeshima clan during the Edo period, and was used for army maneuvers during the Meiji period. It was converted to a public park in 1903.

The park is famous for the Shisei Kaikan (市政会館?), a brick building built in Gothic style in 1929, which once housed the Domei Tsushin state wire service and its postwar successors Kyodo News and Jiji Press.

The park is also known for its open-air concert venue, and for its tennis courts (for which reservations are hotly contested due to their proximity to the financial and government districts).

築地市場(Tsukiji Ichiba)

東京築地市場(Tsukiji Ichiba)是東京最大的魚市和蔬菜批發和零售市場，又稱“魚河岸”，正式名稱為“東京都中央批發市場築地市場”，建於1935年，日本人稱其為“東京大廚房”。“魚河岸”源於江戶時代，意為緊鄰海岸的鮮魚市。築地市場是為東京供應生鮮食品的巨大的集散地，占地23公頃，每天經這裡批發和流通魚肉蔬菜水果多達4,000噸，交易金額達30多億日圓。

六本木(Roppongi)

六本木(Roppongi)是又一個著名的東京夜生活區，以外國人多、充滿國際色彩而著稱。二戰後隨美國占領軍的進駐，六本木一帶開始出現酒吧和舞廳、餐飲店等，初具規模。時光流轉，六本木今已成為代表日本的夜生活區之一。新落成的六本木之丘大型商廈更為六本木增添了異彩，給六本木付予了新的生命。紙醉金迷的夜生活，引導時代潮流的流行，IT新貴們的過眼風雲，構成了耐人尋味的東京六本木。

The current and two following pictures are taken in the district of 六本木 (Roppongi), famous neighbourhood of Tokyo. Well known for its large contration of "Gaijin" (foreigner) and it's high activity by night, 六本木 has been my second house for the past 5 months ! So many bars, clubs and restaurants standing next to each other, sometimes 5 per building... A typical night would be to have a few drinks at a bar with friends, then move to a club around and basically change club every 2 hours ! Yeah, changing club can be done by crossing the street . I've taken the pictures on a quiet night cause, of course, I simply don't take my camera with me otherwise...

皇居(Koyko)

皇居(Koyko)，又稱皇宮，最早為太田道灌始建於1457年的江戶城。其後，幕府將軍德川家康入主江戶，至第三代幕府將軍德川家光年間全部落成。與此同時，日本橋、銀座大街等相繼建成，江戶城初具規模。進入明治時代，天皇一家入住江戶城，江戶城的名稱也先後由江戶城、東京城、宮城直至今日的皇居，隨時代幾經變化。雖曆史沈浮，但綠陰簇擁、城牆與護城河圍繞的皇居，往昔風貌依舊。

The current Imperial Palace (皇居, Kōkyo) is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It is the residence of Japan's Imperial Family.

Edo Castle used to be the seat of the Tokugawa shogun who ruled Japan from 1603 until 1867. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the country's capital and Imperial Residence were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. In 1888 construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed. The palace was once destroyed during World War Two, and rebuilt in the same style, afterwards.

From Kokyo Gaien, the large plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, visitors can view the Nijubashi, two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds. The stone bridge in front is called Meganebashi (Eyeglass Bridge) for its looks. The bridge in the back was formerly a wooden bridge with two levels, from which the name Nijubashi (Double Bridge) is derived.

The palace buildings and inner gardens are not open to the public. Only on January 2 (New Year's Greeting) and December 23 (Emperor's Birthday), visitors are able to enter the inner palace grounds and see the members of the Imperial Family, who make several public appearances on a balcony.

During the rest of the year, guided tours of the palace are offered in Japanese, with an English pamphlet and audio guide provided. Tours must be reserved in advance with the Imperial Household Agency. Reservations can be made over the internet

Aqua City is a compound commercial complex located in the Odaiba area of the new Tokyo waterfront subcenter, an area attracting a lot of attention with the development of many business and commercial facilities. With the theme of "creating an entertainment town" for the pleasure of people of all age groups, and aiming at being a bright and enjoyable facility, Aqua City opened in the spring this year. In order to make the most of the rich natural environment of Odaiba Sea Park, the 260meter-long building was built in the image of a Mediterranean village. The building becomes more set back the higher it gets, and is painted in bright, soft pastel colors. 150 restaurants, bars and retails shops, 13 cinema complexes and five attractions occupy the building, and there is a self-propelled parking area for 900 cars in the center. Lengthways, the whole facility is divided into three zones, the West Zone, Central Zone and Mediage. There is a 260meter-long seaside promenade deck along the water that as well as working to join the three zones, also provides a relaxing and enjoyable area.
Within the complex, Mediage, a new type of operation for the Sony group is attracting much attention. It is a general entertainment center that includes attractions never before seen and a 13-screen cinema complex. Mediage makes up one-third of the total floor space of Aqua City. Surrounding an atrium, it consists of the 13-screen cinema complex, three attractions with different themes and music cafes where you can enjoy meals while listening to live music, and other restaurants and shops all with their own strong themes.

In the center of Mediage is a public zone centered on the atrium that uses natural lighting, "green walls" and trees to make you feel "relaxed" with all five senses. Controlled use of lighting and colors in the cinema complex differentiate it from suburban cinemas. An old New York city corner taste is used with the interior of the music cafes to keep a distance
