Chapter 16: A Day Tour to Ginza
"Ginza is a major business district in Tokyo's Chuo Ward, Japan, known for its high-end shopping stores." "Ginza is divided into Ginza 1-chome (similar to 'street' in Chinese) to Ginza 8-chome, and Ginza 4-chome and Ginza 5-chome are separated by Harumi Street, and all 8 chome are connected by Chuo Avenue. β
"Since the opening of the first store in the early 17th century, it has become one of the most representative areas in Tokyo and one of Japan's largest and most prosperous commercial districts, since the two bridges of Shimbashi and Kyobashi have been formed.
"Oh oh~!" Lin Yiyan looked around like a curious baby, and then nodded knowingly, "So that's the case!" It's no wonder that Ginza is one of the world's top three most prosperous centers, along with the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York. β
"Let's go!" Poison Island Yanzi smiled at Lin Yiyan, "I'll take you around other places!" If you take a look at the area, the night view of Ginza is actually the best! β
"Yes!" Lin Yiyan happily responded, "But, Son! Since it is known as the most prosperous commercial district, is there any special shopping center? β
"Yes!" "The more iconic stores are Mitsukoshi Department Store, Wako Department Store (their clock is the landmark building here and the symbol of the merchant itself, and Wako comes from the retail department of Hattori Watch Store-Seiko Watch) and the 14-story Marion Building, which has seven movie theaters and two department stores. β
"Of course, there are many department stores such as Matsuya Department Store, Matsuzakaya, Melusa, and Spring Department Store. High-end brands such as HermΓ¨s, Gucci and Chanel also have a variety of eateries, fine dining restaurants and high-end nightclubs. β
"I didn't think you knew so much!" Lin Yiyan sighed deeply at the introduction of Poison Island Tsuiko, and then asked suspiciously, "Did you come here often before, Tsuiko?" β
"Hmmm! Sort of! "When I used to follow my grandfather, I often came to Ginza to meet my grandfather's guests, so I'm quite familiar with Ginza!" Anyway, in a word, the country's famous department stores, small shops of special crafts, as well as some high-end snack bars, various restaurants, high-end restaurants, high-end nightclubs, etc., are all located in Ginza, which is also a cultural and entertainment center. β
"I see! Even in a different world! But as long as it's Japan, some things are still exactly the same! Lin Yiyan first nodded clearly, and then asked curiously, "Son!" If Ginza is the center of Tokyo, what is the center of Ginza? β
"That's the busiest place in Ginza!" Poison Island Tsunako pointed to a fourteen-story building not far away and said, "Wow! It is the intersection of the 4-chome in front of it, which can be said to be the most prosperous and lively area in the entire Ginza district. β
"How so?" In the face of Lin Yiyan's doubts, Tsukiko Poison Island explained, "There is a 14-storey modern Sanai building that echoes the 19th-century style of the old Wako store. One is radiant, one is majestic, one is gorgeous and novel, and the other is simple and elegant. It can be said to be a landmark building in Ginza! β
"That's right!" After listening to the introduction of Poison Island Tsuneko, Lin Yiyan muttered with anticipation, "I'm looking forward to Ginza at night, I heard that it is very beautiful and charming!" I don't know if it's true or not! β
"It's true!" Poison Island Tsuneko, who heard Lin Yiyan's muttering, said with a smile, "Here in Ginza, the lights will be lit up in the afternoon. As time passed, at night, the colorful neon and fluorescent lights were lit up together, drowning Ginza in dazzling light and shadow. At that time, if you look down from the heights, the whole of Ginza is a sea of colorful lights! β
In the next trip, in the introduction of Poison Island Tsuneko, Lin Yiyan and Poison Island Tsuneko talked and laughed like a little couple, wandering leisurely in this bustling city. Until the night falls, and the night in Ginza is indeed as Tsumiko said, colorful like a sea of lights, and the beauty is intoxicating.
"Tsuko! Do you want to buy one for each person? Lin Yiyan, who was leisurely admiring the scenery of Ginza, pointed to a store selling animal masks not far away, and asked with an interested expression, "It looks fun!" β
"Okay!" Poison Island didn't object, and then nodded in agreement. Then Lin Yiyan and Poison Island Tsuneko each bought an animal mask and put it on their faces. Poison Island chose a cat-faced mask, while Lin Yiyan chose a fox mask.
After putting on a cat-face mask, the childlike Poison Island Tsuinko also made a very cute 'meow' sound, seeing this scene, Lin Yiyan smiled, "Tsuiko! You're so cute~! Look at me! β
After speaking, Lin Yiyan, who was wearing a fox mask, let out a 'chirping' sound like a young fox.
"How! Did I learn like that? β
"Hmmm! The cry of the little easy to learn fox is really similar! β
After Poison Island Tsuneko answered, the two looked at each other and laughed in unison, and there was an indescribable joy and warmth in the laughter, which spread farther and farther, and the happy time was also slowly passing in this warm atmosphere and laughter.
The next day, after a brief discussion with Poison Island Tsuneko, Poison Island Tsuko, who had no interest in magic, decided to stay in the hotel and wait for Lin Yiyan's return, while Lin Yiyan went to Sister Hara's home alone, that is, Sister Hara's Mansion, to learn magic!
"It should be here, right?" In the map given by Jarvis, Lin Yiyan finally walked to the door of a Western-style building.
What appeared in front of Lin Yiyan was a two-story Western-style building between the two huge buildings, which was an old house that would make people wonder if it was more than a hundred years old. Only the damp air seemed to waft from the vicinity of the house, the iron-barred gates made a heavy, piercing sound from time to time, the brick walls were crawling with vines, and a few crows flew through the air from time to time.
"What's going on with this haunted house-like atmosphere!" Facing the bungalow in front of him, Lin Yiyan twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. Although he said that he knew that there was no danger inside, this place was completely a feeling for strangers - although they planned to quickly destroy and rebuild a new building, they had to leave it alone because the construction company was unusually cursed one after another.
"I wish someone was home!" Lin Yiyan, who pushed open the iron gate of the gate at the door, came to the gate of the mansion, and with a 'ding dong' sound, Lin Yiyan pressed the doorbell in front of the house.
