"Chari Walk" along Nihonbashi River (1)

[Kenken] 09:00 on September 25, 2014

The other day, as a "boat transportation sightseeing", I experienced a small cruise from the Nihonbashi River starting from Nihonbashi to the Kanda River, and then the Nihonbashi River back to Nihonbashi.

 

The scenery seen from the water and the boat was certainly new and fun, but after a long time I thought, "Let's see various spots around the river", so I took a "early morning walk".

The start of this day is from Toyomi Bridge. Toyomi Bashi.JPGMile Post (1-29-6 Shinkawa) is an interesting shop at the base of the bridge. A number of wonderful bicycles through the window. Yes, I'm worried. I'd like to come slowly next time.

My neighbor's Mile Post Cafe is currently on holiday. I would definitely like to visit you when it is reopened.

There is a little green right on the left side of Toyomi Bridge across the Hakozakicho River. Here, there is a notice that there was a thing called Takao Inari Shrine (10-7, Nihonbashi-Hakozakicho). Now, there is a small torii gate, worship hall, about 100 meters northwest of here.

A princess named "Dayu Takao" tried to make his own with a large amount of money (although his name is also specified in the guide of the shrine)...As a result of refusing to invite him, he was killed in the Sumida River and went to Kawanaka. A few days later, a monk who set up a hermitage nearby buried a body that was launched on the riverbank, and people who knew the background built a shrine and worshiped it. The end is amazing that the body (skull) is worshiped as a god of worship.

 

Next is Minato Bridge. Rather than a photo of Minato Bridge itself, Toyomi Bridge, which also took Mizkan's large building from Minato Bridge, may be better.

Mitsukan and Toyomibashi.JPGOn the way to Kayaba Bridge, we will pass through the Kirin Nihonbashi Building (Nihonbashi Koamicho 2-5). It seems that there is a "Draft Masters School" here.

I love Kirin Beer, and I would like to go, but it seems to be for restaurants....(laughs).

In the opposite direction, there is another large Pentel building (7-2 Nihonbashi Koamicho). (I forgot to take a picture)

Well, it may be better to say that Mr. Pentel is under the next armor bridge than Kayaba Bridge.

When you cross the armor bridge, you can see a magnificent building of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in front of you.

From the viewpoint of the exchange, Kabuto Shrine (1-12 Nihonbashi Kabutocho) is located on the river side.

The building itself seems to be new to 1971, but the "Kabuto Rock" in the precincts is said to have its origins dating back to the role of the previous nine years (1050), and the name of the town is also This rock It seems to be a very deep shrine that was named after.

I came to the Nihonbashi Post Office, where the monument of the next Edobashi and the "birthplace of mail" in front of it and the statue of "Maejimamitsu", and this time it was out of time.

Next time, let's start around Edobashi and Nihonbashi.
