(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).

Takashimaya Co., Ltd. which is in Nihonbashi When entering into the solid building, the feeling such as the department store of the adult at whom poshness is overflowed spreads hard. It is the atmosphere where it is difficult for there to be a purchase in the jeans. By the group at noon on the weekday when the ( husband is working when becoming in the holiday The comer seeks ) to be many, Madame seeks the classy brand of the aim and does a purchase and moreover to eat lunch at "the special meal hall" which is in the 4th floor becomes a pattern.
There is to call "the taste dining room" in the 6th floor in Nihonbashi Takashimaya Co., Ltd. and this can experience the meal (where there will be about 1000 yen even if it is minimum even if it says) an ordinary popular price. There is a dining room of the 陳腐的"NA" naming (it is rather good) as it makes think of the postwar days of the early stages of Showa such as "the special meal hall" in the 4th floor on the one hand. What overcomes specially and the menu is special. It is the kaiseki box lunch of about 3500 yen even if it is inexpensive and it is the dining room of some "BURUZIYOWAZI-" to the 8000-yen course.
When passing the entrance which illumination was dropped on, it leaves a bag and a coat with the cloakroom and it tells the number of people to the human being of the person in charge. It notifies a seat when the name is waited for to be called while the desk and the chair see a menu at the arranged waiting room and a name is called by the peculiar call. 3 shops of Imperial Hotel of the Western dish, Mitsumiya of Japanese-style Japanese-style cooking, the Noda rock of the eel enter but can order each food at the same floor. It is mysterious because all can the seeing of Madame, the married couple, the family that is rich and all it seems rich is gracefully done when surveying the neighborhood. There is a table that there is to call 重 (3900 yen) of the repeating by the eel as the speciality and that a grill without seasoning (eating with the Japanese horseradish of the thing burning only with the charcoal. and the soy sauce) is included in the grilled eel (will be a natural product), the berth being low to the upper section.

The door of the elevator is outside and inside by two sheets, but the door inside is made of grid like the brass cage and closes whether or not (it will be possible to say) a door by making a noise with the jingling. Formerly, it was in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, Ltd. and Ikebukuro Mitsukoshi, Ltd., too, but maintenance was said to be terrible and had been changed into the transparent glazed modern elevator in Mitsukoshi, Ltd.. In the point which was needed so, Takashimaya Co., Ltd. thinks in front of of great ! a little more for there to have been an elevator with different old kind but there seems to have gotten not to be that. The part which displays the number of times was not a lamp and was displaying by the arrow like the needle of the watch. These elevators are made by "OTIS Otis" Inc. which invented an elevator first in the world. It begins to be moved under door's closing when the operation is done by elevator Galle and lays a handle and turning to the right up when turning to the left. It stops at the following floor when raising a handle.
