Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

From the end of this year, a "community bus" will run in our Chuo-ku.

Currently, specific introductions are being studied in the ward.

The other day, I participated in the test drive event. The bus is not of this specification, but it was a ride experience while running on the actual scheduled route.

(The photo shows a test drive that waits for departure in front of the ward office.)

 

What I learned again is, "There are various interesting areas in the city." I'm getting more and more interested.

I think this bus will be useful for sightseeing. We hope that not only inhabitants of a ward but also many people from outside the ward will visit and learn more about the charm of Chuo-ku.

 

 

common sage bloomed bright red.　

This is Chuo-dori, in front of Nihonbashi Takashimaya.
common sage plantings are arranged neatly on both sides of the sidewalk.
The name is "Hana Kaido".
It is a pretty flower that is not very noticeable on a daily basis, but the contrast with the well-maintained sidewalk is vivid in the eyes.
A well-maintained planting, cleaned and no garbage sidewalk
It makes what you see refreshing and light.
It makes the people who maintain and manage feel the high enthusiasm and pride of this city. Pedestrians are proud of their chests.
The traditional and stately city is an area that steadily implements casual attention and meticulous daily care.
I don't think, my back stretches out.

 I am the only one who feels that the popularity of the Nihonbashi area has increased over the past few years?

The average age of visitors seems to be slightly younger ...

 

In Nihonbashi, one of the shops I would recommend when I want to take a break during shopping or strolling is "I want to take a break" ... "Yamamotoyama's Nihonbashi Main Store.

The motto is "I receive a heartfelt smile" of our customers.

 

In one corner of the shop, there is a relaxing place (Irori seat) with tsukubai, lanterns and Jizo-san.

A bench-like seat is placed around Irori and a brazier, and a cushion is laid.

 "Yamamotoyama" uses sweets that make delicious tea even more delicious as "tea friends", and several types of long-established gem of Nihonbashi and Kyobashi according to the season (changes depending on the day) ).

Unfortunately, there was not much time on this day and it was full, so I gave up using it ... because there was a menu at the "relaxing place" on this day at the store I took a picture. Please take a look (we will omit the name of the sweets shop, please note)!

 

In each case, a set of recommended sencha (daily) + sweets is ¥ 350 (including tax).

It seems that tea can be replaced ... What a nice, long-established store (large store) smart meter

We would like to use it comfortably with other customers who were with you on that day.

 By the way, there is also a coffee room between the back of the shop, where you can choose your favorite sencha, matcha, gyokuro, etc., and for the tea contract, Japanese sweets and rice crackers from Nihonbashi confectionery "Nagato" are prepared ( There are also coffee and ice matcha milk).

In the evening of late May, when the scent of early summer began to spread, a "survey to respect Japanese" was held on the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

The five members of the opera unit "LEGEND" told us beautiful harmony.

It is a time to forget the hustle and bustle of the city, with famous Japanese and Western songs echoing in the precincts.

Since ancient times, shrines and temples have been a field of cultural transmission, but it is nice that many people gather in this way even today.

There are many other historical shrines and temples in Chuo-ku, so I would like to visit various places for a stroll.

I pray for the happiness and development of the inhabitants of the ward.

 

 

  Days reminiscent of early summer continue!

Nice to meet you, my name is Satsuki Yanagi.

 

Speaking of "taiyaki", "Yanagiya" in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho, is popular in Chuo-ku.

It is a specialty even in a constant procession, but recently we have caught the information that a procession has been made to seek a new "sea bream", so we went immediately!

 

The shop is located on "Sakura-dori St.", which leads from Maruzen to Yaesu across Nihonbashi Takashimaya.

The name of the store is "Daruma Kanda". The flyer I received said, "From the head to the tail, it's hard to thin skin."

It was quite hot on this day (26 ° C), but the line is still ...

In about 10 minutes of waiting, I was able to buy thin-cut oysters.

(¥140 per unit)

Features: Now, some sea bream fans are talking about (?) It's a so-called 'with feathers'.

When I tried it, the sweetness was less than I imagined, and I could eat it even on hot days! ! !

Perhaps because the baking method was soft, the wings were also soft.

As the words of the flyer, Anko was included up to the tail!

Many people lined up purchased other products such as Warabimochi ($680 per pack) and Mitarashi Dango ($120 per bottle) along with thin-cut oysters.

 

Store: "Taiyaki Kanda Daruma Yaesu" 11:30-20:00 Open all year round

On the other hand, I went to Ningyocho's "Yanagiya" high-class sea bream grilling ...

The temperature is 27°C, which feels quite hot.

・・... Even so, there was still a line.

At the same time 20 minutes ... finally purchased (¥ 140 per piece).

During the hot weather ...

This is also included so that Anko protrudes from the tail (happy)!

The baked color is pale, but it is crispy and fragrant.

The sweetness was just the right salt plum!

 

"Yanagiya" also has other products and is in the middle of ice cream (Kokura and vanilla for ￥150 each).

On this day, it seemed to be selling well during the ice cream!

Shochiku Otani Library is a library specializing in theater and movies that opened in July 1958. It was established with the aim of making the materials collected and held by Shochiku Co., Ltd. widely available to the public and contributing to the development of social culture.

The materials include a variety of materials related to theater (Kabuki, Bunraku, New School and Commercial Theater), movies, Nihon Buyo and TV. The number of materials, including the original Joruri 300 years ago, was 350,000.

Admission is free, but it is a closed library so it cannot be entered in the library.

ADK Shochiku Square, where the Shochiku Otani Library is located, emphasizes public nature and open to the public, and the entrance hall on the first floor uses a staircase floor made of natural wood to the third floor. It is also used for small concerts, etc. When there is no event, it is used as a place to meet and talk casually with friends. In the building, there are cafes, dining, popular udon restaurants, Taiwanese restaurants and sushi restaurants. The outside of the building is planted with bamboo and pine trees, and it is located next to Ginza, but the inside of the building is quietly wrapped.　(1-13-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo)
