Around the Yanagihara bank

[North Yujin] September 3, 2009 16:28

Last time, I walked along the river from Kanda River Kawaguchi to Yanagibashi and Asakusabashi. Today, I will walk "Saemonbashi", the border between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku. (Saemon Bridge is also the border of Taito Ward.) yanagiharaatari 001.JPG                                  This is a photo from Asakusabashi Bridge.

The main street running left and right is Yasukuni Dori. If you cross the Ryogoku Bridge on the left, your name will change to Keiyo Road.

The front is Edo-dori St. It is a highway that runs from Asakusa Gomon to Oshu Kaido during the Edo period.

The area along the Kanda River on the right side was the place where the Edo period Gundai mansion was located, and an explanation board stands beside the police box.

Nihonbashi Jogakukan Junior and Senior High Schools, which are undergoing rebuilding, occupy this corner, but it seems that the Baba in Hatsune, where Hatsune Mori Shrine, which was introduced last time, was located, was also around the Edo period.

Willows are planted on both sides to remind you of the row of willow trees on the bank of Yanagihara in the Edo period.

The border between the center and Chiyoda is thought to be Saemonbashi Street, and along the Kanda River west side of the bridge is Chiyoda-ku, and about two blocks south of Chuo-ku penetrates Chiyoda-ku.

If you look closely at the trees of the street trees, you can see that this is the boundary.

 It is said that the Yanagihara embankment was a street where many used clothes shops gathered in the Edo period, but now a clothing wholesale district is formed at Bakurocho 1-chome.

Today, I noticed a sticker of KAMISM SUMMER SALE (Washi) from Kawashima Planning and Sales Co., Ltd., a kimono and obi recycling shop called Warakuan.
