The elevator at Okuno building and the Hakuhin-kan building (Ginza)

It introduces two strange uncommon elevators which are in Ginza.

Okuno building

It often encounters the building as it is possible to call the history inheritance which was built in the early stages of Showa when walking at Ginza. It is demolished one after another from the recently earthquake-resistant problem and it is as far as it is lonely and it is the building to disappear gradually. As for Okuno building, too, with the building (to be enlarging the 7th floor) of the ferroconcrete six-stories which were built in 1932 which is (Showa 7) such early stages of Showa, the gallery and so on are a moved valuable building at present. Formerly, as called "Ginza apartment", at first, it functioned as the apartment but the room without the bath seems to have become gradually used as the space at the gallery and so on from the resident space. Because there is a public bath of "Ginza hot water" nearby, it thinks that the bath prosecution doesn't become a problem but in today when the modernization was progressional, it will have become the space which it is difficult to live in.
As for such Okuno building, building itself, too, is valuable existence but "the elevator" which is in it, too, is valuable. It is the elevator which opens and closes what and a door manually. Operation itself is automatic. At seen Ginza at the old building, in this way, some elevators to handle manually seem seen in the others but it feels a door as this, too, is the historic inheritance of Ginza which marked the history with cutting-edge modern civilization. Because the gallery is the facilities which the person outside can enter, the gallery visit calls in in the "TERA" aimlessness and it should attempt to look at the building and the elevator. But, let's be careful so as not to seem a stranger.

Okuno building
It is the outward appearance to make feel times.
The outer wall which was covered with the scratch tile is a characteristic "TOKA"

The 1st floor entrances

This is the elevator of the rumor.
The door has the unevenness of the sliding door which hangs a hand.
This door seems not to be one from the first.
The floor number indicator is doing and shows the form of the compass by the arrow (Glum !).
Formerly, it seems that it stopped in all the floors but at present, the 2-5th floor doesn't stop.

It attempted to rise up at the stairs to the 6th floor where there is 籠 for now.

It is the space "of which" anything "has thrilled".

The 6th floor floors
With the door on the side becoming glass
The elevator inside of 籠 can be seen.

When calling an elevator
When pressing the button under being represented as "呼"
籠 and its coming

The 籠 being of the left side is done a door on the side (It takes a photograph from the side of the hall).
The right is a door on the side of the hall (It takes a photograph from 籠 and inside).
In other words, to be on the elevator, two sheets of doors must be opened with the hand.
(It thinks that it is hard on the quite heavy door being. woman).
When closed, it closes naturally.

The elevator which opens two sheets of doors with the hand by such a feeling

There is "7""1" electric light switch from above and the operation button becomes "6".

The elevator to be operating

The Hiroshi article building

Hiroshi article building is the toy store with history which was founded at Ginza in 1890. It is the building which is buried with "the toy" from the 1st floor to the 4th floor as the present building at the eight-story which was equipped with the theater in 1978 is built and is carried on the Guinness Book of Records, too, as the toy store where Japanese 1 is big. One elevator which links the 1-4th floor exists on the center at such a Hiroshi article building but "KOREKOSO" is uncommon "the hydraulic pressure type elevator". With the most elevator being a rope in 籠 (the cage) and the sinker (the weight) and linking , The one which is moving it with the motor is most but the hydraulic pressure type elevator is the method to 籠 and for the stick to move by raising a cylinder (the stick) at the pressure of oil by being put under 籠 and lowering it. The operation to the other side which doesn't have to provide a machine room for the finial, that it isn't possible to operate at high speed and the high-rise floor has faults such as the unsuitableness, too.
of the toyshop that the wonderful place of the hydraulic pressure type elevator which is in the Hiroshi article building is the best of Japan It is in the point that it is possible to fit to aim and to be adopting this uncommon hydraulic pressure type and moreover to be providing a spiral staircase for its neighborhood as the glazed see-through, saying the finding of the mechanism of the elevator from outside, too. Because instructions are stuck into 籠, too, at the elevator, to do the being of the interest is the sight to see to want to visit beforehand by all means.
