From Nihonbashi to Nakasendo 3.11

[Ginzo] 09:00 on March 11, 2014

 

 Today we will show you the Nakasendo from Nihonbashi.

First of all, let's study the streets of the Edo period by looking at Kidai Shoran on the underground passage of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.

Cross the intersection of Muromachi 3-chome while looking at the ruins of Sembikiya Sohonten, Ebiya Art Store, and Juken Store.

Oops, let's take a look at the explanation of the Nagasakiya ruins in front of the entrance to JR Shin Nihonbashi Station on the right.

Then, look at the information boards such as the ruins of the Kokumachi The Bell of Time Bell Tower, and follow the original road on the left side toward Kanda at the next traffic light.

On the left side of the road (now in front of Honma Golf), there is a monument to guide the site of Imagawa Bridge.

At that time, I thought that it was such a street. After a while, you will leave in front of JR Kanda Station.

Let's check on the old map of the famous Edo 100 scenic views to see if there was a muscle gate around here and that Shohei Bridge was also during the Kaei era.

 From here, you can easily reach Itabashi-juku on a modern version map.

At the ruins of Itabashi-juku, Itabashi sightseeing volunteers warmly welcome you.

Address: 3-14-15 Itabashi-ku, Itabashi-ku, telephone 03-3963-5078

 

 I remember walking on the dark night road from Nihonbashi to Itabashi-juku on March 11, 2011.

Do you not remember the directions so that you can return home from work to home on foot?

 Once again, I wish you the quick recovery of the affected areas and the health of those affected by the disaster.

In addition, I hope that my friend and wife's high school classmates and family in Fukushima Prefecture will move forward slowly with the Tohoku soul. When you're tired, go to Tokyo.
