Among the 50th anniversary commemorative projects of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, the “Town Walking Culture Course” (for details, on the Tourism Association website) has finally started on August 2 (Sun). It was planned to spread the word while walking through the city of Chuo-ku, which has history, culture, and tradition, and let them know the charm.

On this day, the first day, we were worried about what would happen in the afternoon due to considerable rain in the morning, but the blessings of the heavens or the cloudy sky at the time of gathering, the rain was a break, the sultry but the sunshine was saved.

About 20 participants gathered in front of the police box on the east side of Nihonbashi Minamizume, where the meeting place was held, and several children joined after the summer vacation. This guide was handled by four members of the "Chuo-ku Cultural Property Supporters Association". At 2:00 pm, the course explanation, precautions, etc. are completed, and they are divided into two sets and go to the course. (The photo shows the snapshot.)

The Nihonbashi course is a popular place for general town walks. Visit the footsteps that showed the busiestness in Edo. Walk from the south side of Edobashi Hirokoji, walk through the ruins of the famous water Shirakiya well, the former Shirakiya (Cored Nihonbashi), the west bank guardian of children and travelers, the land related to Yumeji Takehisa and Minatoya, and the stone mark of the news of Ichiishibashi lost child, head to the site of Tokiwa Hashikado.

In 1877 (1878), an old Ishibashi Tokiwa Bridge (not Tokiwa Bridge), you can hear exclamation in front of you at the cracks that entered here and there. In front of the main building of the main building of the Bank of Japan, 2016. Take a short tour and take a break at the Money Museum.

From Mitsui Main Building, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, former Mitsui Echigo-ya, to Muromachi Koji. There are many shops in this area, but there are many places that are closed on Sunday. For this reason, the crowded places are vacant on weekdays and it is easy to walk. After passing through the ruins of Anjin Miura Yashiki, go to the ruins of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank. Since the fish market, which has prospered since the early Edo period, has moved to Tsukiji Temple in Chuo-ku, an important historical and tourist spot for Chuo-ku. Knowing its history is an important part of tradition. It began to light rain from near the end. At Nihonbashi Hashigami, a nationally designated important cultural property, you will finish a two-hour walk while watching the road signs that were the starting point of the Gokaido and the decorations of Nihonbashi, which will soon be 100 years old.

A large number of participants this time Chuo-ku Everyone who lives. I've seen the main street, but it seems that there are few opportunities to learn slowly, such as side streets and historical sites, and some people said that they walked for the first time and knew it. One of the most impressive was elementary school children, who wrote down hard in notebooks and saw some ukiyo-e paintings drawn on store shutters, and said, "Why are Mount Fuji drawn on every picture?" And I am surprised at the sharp observation power of the children, and I am glad that I was curious.

 

 

　In summer, we will start production. It is a season when children often play in the pool and go out.

I think it's interesting to learn about the history of Chuo-ku, especially the history of Kachidokibashi and the structure of the bridge.

　I have participated in a tour of the pier. You can put it in the bridge.

From the overview, there is a signal for the passage of the ship, and the bridge is hitting a pedestrian signal when jumping up or a waiting line (stud). (I didn't notice even when I walked a lot.)

Please read the photo at the time of the tour, so please read it to the end.

 

Museum in Kachidokibashi (from the website)

 

Kachidokibashi, built based on the Tokyo Port Rebuilding Plan, was built with the best of the state-of-the-art technology at the time, in order to use it as the main gate for the World Exposition, which was scheduled as a national event at the time. The Expo itself was canceled due to the intensification of war, but Kachidokibashi was completed on June 14, 1940.
Kachidokibashi, which opens and closes the center, was the largest in the East as a jumping bridge at the time of completion, but due to a decrease in the number of ships sailing on the Sumida River and an increase in traffic volume, etc. Finally, it is now a bridge that does not open.
The museum has renovated the substations used to open the bridge, and displays and discloses valuable materials and related information on the bridges of the Sumida River, including Kachidokibashi. In addition, huge machines for opening the bridge will be released through a tour of the pier, which requires a reservation.

Many people, from elementary school students to the elderly, were dancing Tokyo Ondo, coal mines, dancing all night, this was Edo Bon Dance, Kiyoshi's Zundokobushi, etc.　There was also a new step, and I thought Bon Odori was evolving.　Enjoy a moment of time.
