　New Year's Day. You can eat delicious food, drink it, and be a New Year's Day.

Let's enjoy walking in Chuo-ku using the Edo bus.　

My recommendation is

This is a show of hawk surgery held on January 2 and 3 at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden.

The discipline of the hawk will be introduced, and the scene where the hawk is released from the roof of the Dentsu Building and falls sharply will be exciting. (Photos are from January 2009)

　Winter peony is also glossy. 

Please check this website.

There is also a service where a volunteer guide will guide you through the garden.　

　After enjoying the Hamarikyu Garden, visit Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods. I'm sure there's something good.

Please take the information on these two HPs and go out with the map in one hand. It's fun to use the Edo bus too. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/walking/n-sichifukujin/index.html

Falconry (falconry): A hunting method that releases tamed hawks and catches wild birds and beasts

A demonstration of this falconry (Suwa style) will be held at Hamarikyu in the New Year.

Date and time　：　January 2nd and 3rd 11:00 14:00 (Twice a day)

It began about 4,000 years ago in Central Asia and was introduced to Japan in the middle of the 4th century.

A falconer is a profession that teaches hawk.

There were many falconers during the Edo and Meiji eras, but after the war, falconry was no longer performed by the government due to various circumstances, and it was handed down by private volunteers.

I would like you to think about nature and the connection between hawk and people through demonstrations.

Suwa-style hawk

It is one of the corps of hawks held by shoguns of the Edo period, and is derived from the Shinto ritual, where birds caught by hawks are served in front of the gods of Shinshu Suwa Taisha Shrine.

Hamarikyu's free volunteer guide guidance is available twice on January 2nd and 3rd at 10:00 and 13:00.

We, Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent, have passed the 1st Chuo-ku sightseeing certification and love history and culture. Many of you who are viewing this Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent blog also like history and culture, so there is a certification test that I would definitely recommend.

The first is the "Chuo-ku Tourism Test", which allows you to apply for the exam until January 15.

You can study the history and culture of Chuo-ku, and if you learn what you have learned is your own study, you can also participate in sightseeing events in Chuo-ku if you are appointed as a correspondent. By showing around the long-established shops that have been around since the Edo period and writing on a blog, I think it was good to love history again.

The other is the "Edo Cultural History Test".

The application period is from summer to autumn, so the text can be purchased at bookstores.

When I wanted to study more about history, I learned about the Edo Cultural History Test and took the 4th and 3rd grades held last month. This test is narrowed down to the Edo period, and you can study a wide range of cultures that were not found in textbooks. 20% of the questions were asked from "This year's title" outside the text, and the fourth was "53rd Tokaido-Journey in Edo".

In the Edo period, I traveled on foot, so it is common to leave early in the morning. What time is the "Seven" of the lyrics "Edo Nihonbashi Seven Standings" now? There are many things that I wanted to know this rather than a history test like a problem like that, and the text can be enjoyed with lots of pictures and photos.

There are many sponsors in this certification, so by presenting the certificate, there are plenty of discounts at Oedo Onsen and Hanayashiki, and there are courses and events that only successful applicants can participate.

I read the text on my daily commuter train and enjoyed studying for about three months. Grade 1 can only be taken unless you have passed the second grade, so I'm going to take the next exam by passing this time, but Grade 1 seems to be a fairly narrow gate with a single digit pass rate. The Edo period lasts for about 260 years and is profound, so I would like to aim for passing the first grade even if it takes several years.

"Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" and "Edo Cultural History Certification"

These two tests have the same content, and the text is well-made, so you will want to read as many times as you want. For details, we recommend that you search on the website.

The theme of Christmas at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store in 2009 is "eco Christmas".

The main building hall is decorated with a height of 15m and one of the largest Christmas trees in Japan.

Using green power, not using real wood, 25,000 illuminations use LED bulbs with low power consumption.

This is the "Mitsukoshi Christmas" site: http://www.mitsukoshi.co.jp/store/1010/christmas/

"The statue of the heavenly woman"

It shines in the light of the ceiling of a large dome.

It is also posted on the illumination information of the tourist association blog (you can also see the pattern at that time on Miss Chuo's blog who participated in the lighting ceremony)

Also, before the entrance of the new building, a Christmas tree with beautiful light of "Shizuku", which was also published in Mitsukoshi's secret part2, which was previously mentioned, welcomes us!

December 25 (December 25) It is decorated with gold.

In the Nihonbashi area, the "ECOEDO Nihonbashi Green Project" is also being held.

Companies, department stores, and shops in Nihonbashi are actively engaged in "ECO."

There are only a few more days, but I hope many people can enjoy it together!
