Town walk tour

Long-established and Pharmaceutical Museum Course

July 20 Town Walking Tour A long-established store and a drug museum course were accompanied.
It turned from the heat of the previous day, and it was cloudy with cool autumn weather, but it was cloudy.
It was a great temperature to walk.

By the way, as for the town walk, from the front of Kodemmacho Station to the area of Suitengu, a little to the right of the second alley.
That street is Dai Temmacho Street.
That street was "Old Nikko Kaido" I didn't know this.

After about 300 meters, you will see "Edoya" on the right.
It is a long-established store of brushes that has been around since the Edo period. The products here are
Most of them sell brush brushes made from natural hair.
Horses, pigs, human hairs, etc. It seems that lacquer brushes are used for human hair, and it seems to be lacquer brushes.
There seems to be no demand in Tokyo, right?
In this tour, most of them were women, so the shopping power was suddenly fully opened.

Next, "Ozu Washi Store" is a must-have for those who love history.
The museum on the second floor is designated as Tangible Cultural Property registered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
It seems that there are more than 1,200 points.
Looking at them, I seemed to forget that I was an attendant.

The third house looked at the "Yaku Museum" and the historical film called Nihonbashi Honmachi.
I learned anew about the history of Chuo-ku that I didn't know.
I think this is the best for free study during summer vacation with children and grandchildren during summer vacation.
I'm looking forward to it.

As mentioned above, it was Sangasho, but personally it was very meaningful.
The course is relatively short, and it's just the right distance for foot breaker.
It's about 3,000 steps, about two hours. It may not be enough for those who have good legs.
There are other than this course, so if you would like to participate, please join us.
Please ask the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.
