As a correspondent in the “Town Walking Tour (Asahi Shimbun Course)” hosted by the Tourism Association
Thank you very much.
As soon as you leave Tsukiji Market Station on the Oedo Line, you will find the Asahi Shimbun headquarters building and the front entrance.
Get together. Two people were absent and a total of 21 people participated, including 18 tour applicants and 3 staff members.
First of all, when you go to the auditorium, a beautiful guide from a newspaper company will give you various precautions when visiting.
He explained the outline, followed by a 15-minute video, "I can make a newspaper."
There was a comment.
And when I entered the company, the first thing I felt unique was the carving on the elevator door.
This is a rare newspaper dated January 25, 1979 from all over the world. This elevee
There will be no other door. It is said to have been commemorated the 100th anniversary of the publication of the newspaper.
The first tour was the press and organization floor on the 5th floor. The time at this time is about 11:00.
That's why everyone was busy in the middle of making evening editions.
There were several TVs on the desk, and the news was flowing.
Just on the day, gymnastics Uchimura won a gold medal at the Olympics.
The newspaper was pasted here and there.
The feature of this floor is that there is no partition to improve the flow of information.
The only desk room and commentary were partitioned by the glass door.
Next, I visited the area editing floor on the 4th floor. Reporters are going to work in the evening.
It was impressive that it was strangely quiet. The nameplate of the prefecture is below the ceiling.
The news of "high school baseball" was very noticeable.
The next thing I visited was an underground printing factory. When you go inside, you will hear a great roaring sound and high-speed rotating machine
That's because it's going. The Tokyo head office has four sets of rotation machines, one set of six units.
Yes, they are brought to our family from here.
After that, the guide will study the mechanism of offset printing by experimentation.
The letters entered into the computer are burned on the aluminum plate to become the original version.
The image and text parts are absorbed in oil, but the parts that are not printed are printed because they absorb water.
It seems that ink is on the spot. Copy this into a roller made of rubber
It seems that it is a mechanism to finish printed matter if it is copied on paper.
By the way, for the first time, I learned that the raw material for ink is "soybean oil".
Returned to the original auditorium, received a souvenir unique to a newspaper company, and dissolved. About 2 hours
It was a "town walk tour (industrial course)". I can't usually see it
The tour of the newspaper company was quite exciting.
's hot every day. At such times, I went to Tsukiji Teppanyaki kurosawa at Tsukiji 2-chome because of meat and teppanyaki.
, coffee and tea can be enjoyed slowly in a table seat renovated from a Japanese-style room on the second floor.
