On November 8 (Sun), the “Autumn Chuo-ku Cultural Properties Tour” (sponsored by the Chuo-ku Board of Education) was held as a project for Tokyo Cultural Properties Week 2009. . The lecturer on this day was Tetsushi Okamoto, who appeared on the NHK TV "Bura Tamori" Ginza guide broadcast on October 22.
At 9:30 in the morning, a bus carrying 20 participants departs from the Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi) and heads to Akashi Elementary School. For today, I went up to the roof of the school building, and saw the buildings from the early days of the earthquake reconstruction project from close to me. Beyond that, you can see the cross of St. Luke's College of Nursing. In Ginza, you will see the inside of the Ginza Lion 7-chome store before opening, and it was built in the early Showa era and you will be fascinated by the interior decoration. Now we go to Sukiyabashi Park while walking across Ginza's specialty "Alley". Yasuaki Elementary School is the same earthquake reconstruction project, but it has a different style from Akashi Elementary School (photo = commentary while looking at Yasuaki Elementary School internal photos).In the afternoon, I started walking from the Tokyo International Forum and saw the inside of the Mitsubishi No. 1 building, which was restored earlier. At the Meiji Seimeikan, you can go around the tour course and feel the "masterpiece of modern architecture". In Kyobashi, you can see the Meijiya Kyobashi Building in Designated Cultural Property, Chuo-ku from the exterior. Eventually, we arrive at the final point, Takashimaya Tokyo store. This building was registered as a National Important Cultural Property for the first time as a department store in June. It is divided into two groups and receives detailed explanations from the store concierge. The circumference looks around, there is a tour and explanation inside, and the interior surrounded by marble feels heavy. Take the elevator at the time of construction to the rooftop. I think of the famous elephant "Takako". Even now, the remnants were in the tower. Soon at 4:00 p.m., I finished a tour of cultural properties here.
A refreshing autumn day through buildings
