I've always wanted to see the inside of the Kachidokibashi pier, the largest movable bridge in Japan.

I searched for a way to visit Kachidokibashi from the web.

Knowing that the Tokyo Metropolitan Road Maintenance and Conservation Corporation is holding a tour tour, applying, and participating

I did it.　　　You will see the mechanical equipment at the time when it was opened and closed inside the pier.

 

　　　From HP

 

　

　

　On the bridge was once a bridge from this position

　　We arranged places and traffic of people and streetcars.

　There was a signal left.

 

 　At their feet, people such as when a bridge is up

　The line that kept waiting lined up studs of the size of a small plate.

　It remains in the form.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

　　From HP

 I went to the operation room on the second floor of the building in the center of the bridge.　There are many buttons on the operation panel.

Yes, it seems that many buttons were operated to raise and lower the bridge.

 

Next, we will go down the vertical stairs leading from the first floor to the machine room in the pier. Of course, in the visitor's body

It went down the stairs through a rope to guard against the belt of safety equipment to prevent the crash.　Me

Because of the wide width of the body, it was difficult to pass at the beginning of the stairs, so I twisted my body and passed safely.

 

The inside of the pier is 9m in size and height of the entire tennis court.　I feel very wide.

Taking advantage of this large space, the machine was balancing the bridge when the bridge went up.

That's right.

You gave me a detailed explanation and explanation of the mechanical equipment.

 

 

 While looking at the machine inside the pier, I will go a little further and look outside.

　If you do not participate in the tour, it is a scenery that you can't see first.

 

To apply for the tour tour, Tokyo Metropolitan Road Maintenance and Conservation Corporation

The five people who provide detailed support to the explanation of the tour and safety assurance are from the public corporation OB.

They are veterans.

In addition, they are reliable people who can provide support in the event of a disaster.

 

The illuminated Kachidokibashi is very nice.

But I think I wanted to cross Kachidokibashi once before the opening and closing was stopped.　(At that time)

I didn't live in Tokyo, so it was impossible.)

"What's this?"

Breath in front of the work that connects with a swivel in front of you.

Now about 200 years ago. A picture scroll depicting the streets of Edo in 1805 (2nd year of culture).

This is "Kidai Shoran".

 

The main street from Kanda Imagawa Bridge, the center of Hana no Edo, to Nihonbashi overlooking Fuji in the distance.

Overlapping townhouses, noise of people coming and going, and noise of the streets.

The smell of life seems to be transmitted.

The detailed description of the avenue spreads out in the long space unique to emakimono.

 

This picture scroll is housed at the National Museum of Asian Art in Berlin, displaying a replica that has been enlarged 1.4 times larger than the real one.

It is Nihonbashi Sanzen Echizen Concourse. Just next to the ticket gate of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Ginza Line and Hanzomon Line. In terms of ground entrance numbers, it is between A3 and A5.

 

"What is this power?"

In 1805, the general at the time was Ienari Tokugawa.

A shining scene of culture and Bunsei, which can be said to be a period of maturity of Edo culture.

The overwhelming flow of people. A number of long-established stores that remain today.

I am drawn into the expressions and gestures of the people drawn.

I feel like I'm walking in the gorgeousness of the town of Edo.

 

Animals also include dogs, cats, horses, cows, and one monkey and two hawk.

Why don't you look for a monkey and a hawk as a clue to see the picture scroll?

 

We will return to the ground and look at the streets in 200 years.

From Nihonbashi, walk Chuo-dori toward JR Kanda Station.

Imagawa Bridge does not exist at present because the former Ryukan River is reclaimed.

Instead, "Imagawa Bridge Originki" is set up in front of HONMA GOLF.

From here, let's take a look back at Nihonbashi.

What kind of impression does the scenery of the town look like when you walk in the picture scroll?

 

 

 

  Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten's "lunch lunch" will end on November 26 due to the relocation of the factory.

There are two types, ¥500.- and ¥600.-, but the contents come to your eyes on the heavy weight while buying and returning home, and as soon as you open the lid, your heart gets stuck.

I'm going to buy one or two times by the twenty-sixth.

There is also an assortment of "side dishes", so it is a limited number of items from around 11:30, so recently around 11:30, "Benmatsu Bento Fan" has come to gather at the store.

You can buy a long-established lunch box at such a cheap price 4 or 5 days later.

  "Lunch lunch" ends on November 26, but you can buy Kyogi's "lunch" and "folding" that have been going on for a long time at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Department Store and other department stores.

 Last time, I took pictures of Eitai Bridge and Skytree from Chuo-ohashi Bridge, but this time I took pictures of Eitai Bridge and Skytree from Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge across Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

Please find the Eitai Bridge too...

Forget about the hot summer in winter and the stable Koharu weather makes you want to walk in Chuo-ku.

　　　　　

 

 

 

 

　This year's Christmas season has come the most glittering city of the year.

2010 illuminations in the Yaesu and Nihonbashi areas. Introducing the city of light in late autumn, about 30 minutes walk from Yaesu (Sakura-dori St.) to Nihonbashi (Takashimaya, Coredo Nihonbashi, Mitsukoshi Main Store, Mitsui Main Building, Mitsui Tower, Coredo Muromachi, Yuito).

"Coledo Muromachi" and "Yuito", which just opened on October 28, are added to create a more lively and fantastic space.

 　Christmas illuminations, an annual New Year's tradition that colors the night sky of Ginza, have begun.

1-chome (Paula) ⇒ 2-chome (Marronnier Gate, Belvia Pavilion, Mikimoto Boutique Cartier, Tiffany) ⇒ 3-chome (Plantan) ⇒ 4-chome (Mikimoto / Wako) ⇒ 5-chome (Tasaki Shinju) ⇒ 6-chome (Matsuzakaya / Kojunsha Building) ⇒ 7-chome (Shiseido / Noevier Zi Cube).

This year, the clock tower part of the Wako Main Building will be specially lit up for the first time since its completion in 1932.The watermark pattern of the arabesque (arabesque) under the dial appears beautifully, and the clock tower and 36 windows from the 2nd to 7th floors in front of the building are shining like a tree with LED illuminations.
It is said that every hour (16:00 to 24:00), light-up is performed according to the chime.
