The neighborhood of Nihonbashi-Horidome-cho to Nihonbashi Ningyo-cho is located.

It is the area that started my life as a member of society.

 

I wanted to walk on this day, so I came here.

 

Ningyocho-dori, where the Hibiya Line runs underground.

As expected, there are few people around Kodemmacho on weekends to Horidomecho.

 

Enter a little street and head to "Sugimori Shrine" (1-10-2 Horidomecho).

 

This is one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, where Ebisu God is enshrined.

It is also known that the lottery industry was held for the purpose of renovating shrines and temples.

 

 

Thank you very much.

Chozuya was equipped with a sensor for water coming out soon.

 

After the worship, you will see the surrounding area again.

In the surrounding area, signs of business partners who had been taken care of before were found everywhere, and I was deeply impressed by myself when I was a member of society after 20 years ago.

 

In the meantime, go to Koami Shrine (16-23 Koamicho), known for its "Good luck protection against misfortune." Of course, it's a corner of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

 

Inside, there was a Zen-washing Benten, and the space for Zen-washing was also clean.

I was able to wash the coins without any omission.

　

With this, you can connect hope to "Do you get better luck such as hitting a lottery?"

 

 

Well, I went to amazake Yokocho to buy souvenirs for my family.

The target for this day was "Inari Sushi Shinota" by "Shino Ta Sushi Sohonten" (2-10-10 Ningyocho).

 

The fried chicken is light (?) Seasoning. The first small Inari-san is an affordable size that can be eaten even in a bite.

Even before dinner, it was finished quickly.

　

 

 

 

Currently, we are building a new bridge at the lowermost part of the Sumida River, but I saw it because I had the opportunity to see it from the top the other day.

The upper part of the photo is downstream.

The left is Kachidoki, and the right is the Tsukiji / Hamarikyu Garden.

The bridge legs seem to be quite completed, so I think the bridge girders will be installed soon. I'm excited to imagine the completed figure.

This bridge is a bridge connecting Tsukiji and Kachidoki in Chuo-ku, and the road called Ring Route 2 passes.

It will play an important role as a new market that replaces Tsukiji, a coastal area, and a road leading to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics competition area.

Until now, the bridge at the lowermost part of the Sumida River was Kachidokibashi, which has reigned as the "gate of the Sumida River" for many years.
Kachidokibashi was established in 1940 before the war (Showa 15), the year when that "Phantom Tokyo Olympics" was scheduled to be held.

In addition, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, one upstream bridge, was also created in the last year of the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 (Showa 39).

That's why the three downstream bridges of the Sumida River will be bridges that reflect the times of each Tokyo Olympics.

This new bridge will be the new "gate of the Sumida River", but I want future generations to become a bridge called a famous bridge.

The name has not been decided yet, but I hope it will be a suitable name.

 

 

When I got off the elevator on the 8th floor, a long line and a placard called "Here's last" jumped into my eyes. "Yeah!" The line at the entrance of the Mumin exhibition venue on the first day of today is waiting for the cash register of the person who purchased Mumin goods. It's 12 o'clock now. It's open today at 10 o'clock, but this line!

 

This year, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tove Janson (1914-2001), the original author of Mumin, who has been loved by people all over the world for generations, a large retrospective exhibition was held in Finland, where Mumin was first translated and published in Japan, and a commemorative exhibition was held. There are 200 original drawings, including 150 unpublished illustrations and sketches of Mumin fairy tales.

When you enter the opening, most of the visitors are young women (it's surprising to see only such young women). I'm going to eat one by one. Mumin Daddy and Mom, Snufkin, Sniff, Little Mii, Snowk's Miss, and Mrs. Mimura are all in good shape.

The diorama of Moominvalley, the statue of Mumin, and the exit are full of Mumin goods besides Mumin's fairy tale series. Mumin's fairy tale series has exceeded 10 million copies since it was first translated and published in 1964. The binding is the same as the old version, and when you turn it over, time trip to childhood at once. Why don't you go out to immerse yourself in the nostalgic world of Mumin and his friends?

　

 

Speaking of which, what is the next section manager who was called "Mumin Daddy" now?

　It was in the middle of April, and it was getting warmer.

The Tsukiji River Park is located between daily sports and St. Luke's College of Nursing.

In the warm sunlight, Hananoki attaches red sprouts and flowers.

 

　Cross the pedestrian crossing and move to the south, the flowers of pears are blooming.

 

　The laurel flowers are also in bloom. I saw this tree for the first time.

 

　The flowers and azaleas of Chuo-ku are also blooming colorfully.

 

　Let's go to Akashicho around "Japan's best bunsho Shiose".

Yae-zakura such as Sekiyama and turmeric are blooming.

　Enjoy a walk in Tsukiji and Akashicho.

 

 

        

 

 Following the Yoshino cherry tree, which was in full bloom at the end of last month, the so-called Yae-zakura, a group of so-called "Yaezakura", which is mainly planted on the lakeside from the "Oden Bridge" in the "Tide-filled Pond" to the "Ute-Oden Bridge".

As if the petals were folded in multiple layers and pink snow were piled up on the branches, the bells in full volume are gorgeous, giving a different taste from Yoshino cherry tree.

You can enjoy "multiple blooming" in different colors and shapes, as represented by the "five-colored Yae-zakura" of red (Sekiyama), light red (fugen elephant), white <light peach> (Kazuha), yellow (Utsukin), and green (Okin yellow).

It is said that there are about 100 cherry trees in the park (including about 10 in Yoshino cherry tree), but since it is not widely recognized as a famous spot for cherry blossoms, it is relatively vacant at this time, so you can take a leisurely stroll and look around.

The scenery that shines in the "tidal pond" against the background of "Ochiya in Nakajima" has a unique atmosphere.

After Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the lighting up is still canceled, but we are waiting for the revival of the stage setting where you can enjoy fantastic scenes.

In addition, on April 19 and 20, the garden will set up a food and beverage booth and a stage at Uchibori Square to taste the food culture reminiscent of Edo, touch products related to Edo, and enjoy Edo traditional performing arts. And enjoy the Edo atmosphere. "Edo Bunkamura in Hamarikyu Garden" hosted by the Chuo-ku Shopping Street Federation is scheduled to be held.

"Look at it", "Look at it", "Look at it", "Look at it", "Look at it" ...

Fukushima Prefecture is large.

Even when the cherry blossoms bloom, it is said that the Pacific coast and Okuaizu are more than a month away.

The invitation word "Look, come and see" also has many changes depending on the region and age.

The climate, history, and culture are diverse, and there is a rich way of hospitality.

"MIDETTE" is a nickname for "Nihonbashi Fukushimakan".

"Look at it." Yes, it sounds like a common word in Fukushima Prefecture.

It's something that makes your heart warm.

On April 12, the Nihonbashi Fukushimakan, a base for transmitting information in the Tokyo metropolitan area in Fukushima Prefecture, opened.

I miss Fukushima, where I spent my high school year, so I went to Sunday the day after the opening.

The location is 4-3-16 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku.

From the east exit of JR Kanda Station, take Chuo-dori toward Nihonbashi for about 5 minutes.

From the A8 exit of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, it takes about 3 minutes along Chuo-dori toward Kanda.

Oh, there was a line waiting for entrance.

According to the staff, the first day was a row of hundreds of people.

TV and newspapers were also featured as topics.

The demonstration corner on the right side of the entrance is thin bun.

There were many kinds of sweets that were pleased with the souvenirs of returning home.

The fresh fruits and vegetables piled up in the vegetable corner will bring joy when you look at them.

The seeds of cod are tempura. Boil the well-formed asparagus and use sesame miso or mayonnaise. Tomato cucumber is chilled with ice water and rounded.

It is probably a product that the producer sent it to Nihonbashi, Tokyo with confidence.

Just looking at the ingredients, you can imagine how to eat them.

If you ask the staff who speaks with matching uniforms, you will be able to teach you the best cooking method.

There are also folk crafts and character goods.

At the eating and drinking corner in the inner space, depending on the day, Namie Yakisoba and Aizu Ramen are exhibited.

What surprised me was the enhancement of the sake corner.

There were a lot of brands that were difficult to obtain locally.

If you look at the information poster, it is said that sake in Fukushima Prefecture has won the highest gold prize in Japan at the National Sake Inspection Fair in 2012.

The snowy mountain surface is shining, and the thaw water is running down the waterway vigorously.

A climate where vivid subsoil water springs up richly.

If rice, water and climate are good, delicious sake is brought up there.

There was sake brewery on the way to the elementary school, and at the time it had a fluffy scent.

One of my classmates was a daughter of a sake brewery.

As an adult, it's really fun to see the lineup of this brand now.

There was a staff uncle who was talking to customers in a cheerful voice while running around the store.

It looks like a familiar person and a store manager of the antenna shop "Fukushima Market", which was operating in Kasai until this spring.

Familiarity went to Nihonbashi in conjunction with the opening of the Fukushimakan.

Your hard manager, you must have built a wonderful human relationship in Kasai.

I'm glad that, so I've purchased a lot of special items.
