［６］ "Ginza Jujiya Harp & Flute Salon hanare", where the "Harp Mini Concert" is held, is on the 5th floor of the building where the movie theater Sine Switch is located in Ginza 4-4-5. The entrance is a bit difficult to understand, but if you enter a little to the left side of the movie theater, you will find an elevator entrance.

This is a gallery where "7" and "Aftanoon Gallerys" are held.

　

"Ginza Yanagi Gallery" Ginza 5-1-7 Sukiyabashi Building 3F.　It's just behind Yasuaki Elementary School.

　

　Yasuaki Elementary School is a “information & lottery venue” and also a venue for “5” and “Ginza Shogi Festival”.

　It is "Yasushiyama Gallery" (Ginza 5-14-16, Ginza Abitasion 1F). It's just a little on the other side passage across Harumi-dori St. in front of Kabukiza.

　

　"Gallery Hayashi" (Ginza 7-7-16) is located a little on the left street toward Hanatsubaki Street and the front of Tsubakiya Coffee Shop.

 

 

  From the Irifunebashi intersection, proceed further on Shin-ohashi-dori St.　I can see the entrance to Tsukiji Station subway.

In addition, follow "Shin-ohashi-dori St.", and you will find "Nippon Sushi Gakuin" on the right.

　As you go further, you will see the distinctive Tsukiji Honganji tower.

　Turn left here, and near this intersection is Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School. The integration of Kyobashi Elementary School and Tsukiji Elementary School was in 1992. According to "Population Change in Chuo-ku" on page 85 of the Monoshiri Encyclopedia, the population was the lowest in April 1997, which was 71,806, but in April 2006, It seems to have recovered 100,000 for the first time in 31 years, and in January 2014, the number recovered for the first time in January. If the school age population increases, will elementary schools be re-divided again? ？ ？

　Turn left at the intersection near Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, turn left at the end, and proceed with the St. Luke's Tower appears in front of you, but you can see the entrance of Akatsuki Park on the right.　There is a bust of Siebold in this "Akatsuki Park" (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 72).

　A short walk from Kayaba Bridge, the intersection with Eitai-dori St. You can also see "COREDO Nihonbashi" on the right.

　If you go further along Shin-ohashi-dori St., there will be an explanation version of "Map Gosho Ruins" on the left walking path (near 2-12 Nihonbashi Kayabacho).

　The "Map Gosho" was located in the residence of Tadataka Ino (1745-1818), who is known for producing the first full map of Japan based on actual measurements.
 Tadataka Ino has been surveying all over Japan since 1800 (1800), surveying the coasts of Japan for the next 17 years, and the total distance has reached about 40,000 km. .
 In 1814 (1814), Tadayoshi returned from surveying in the Kyushu region and moved to the current location, which was called Hatchobori Kamejima-cho. The site of this mansion was about 150 tsubo, but it was used not only as a place of residence for loyalty, but also as a map use place for creating survey maps.
 Tadataka died at his home in Kamejima-cho in 1818 (1818) before the map was completed, but Tadataka's home was used as a map palace, and in 1821 (1821) "Dainihonenkaiyozenzu" was completed by the help of the subordinates of the astronomy.

 　

After further, you will go to the intersection with Yaesu Street.

 

　At the left end of this intersection is Kameshima Bridge, at which time there is also the "Horibe Yasubei Takeyuki Monument" (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 55). The Kamejima River still remains under Kameshima Bridge, and it is one of the few active bridges, which was replaced in 2002 (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 56). You can also see the high-rise apartments of River City 21.

　In addition, follow "Shin-ohashi-dori St." and you will see "Sakuragawa Park" entrance on the left. Horiwari, which was called Hatchobori in the Edo period, was renamed Sakuragawa in the Meiji era. Sakuragawa Park was created using a part of the ruins reclaimed in the middle of the Showa era.

　If you look at Chuo-ku government office, Ginza Blossom, etc. from Irifune Bridge, it is clear that the river below this was.

 

 

 

 

　Right after passing Nihonbashi Junior High School, there is a street to Yagenbori Fudoin (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 97). (All of the following photos were taken on October 26, 2015)

　Next, we will enter Kiyosumi-dori.

　As you proceed along Kiyosumi-dori, you will see Meijiza on the left.　

　On the right side of Meijiza, you can see the entrance to Hamacho Park.

　A little further away, you can see the temporary palace of Suitengu.

　If you go a little further, you will reach the intersection with Shin-ohashi-dori St. The number of high-rise apartments has also increased in this area.

　If you follow Shin-ohashi-dori St., you will see Hamacho Ryokudo on the right side. There are also statues of Benkei in the Kanjin Book and display boards for "Ningyocho Hamacho Walk".

　

   This Hamacho Green Road is the trace of the Hamacho River. The Hamacho River used to be a waterway that separated from the Kanda River on the banks of the Kanda Sakuma River in Chiyoda-ku, and merged with the Sumida River near the downstream of Kiyosu Bridge. It is an artificial waterway that was excavated during the Edo period. Since then, excavation has been repeated for a long time, and it has been greatly useful for people's lives, but in the Showa era, landfills began as a place for disposal of residual soil after the war. Furthermore, by the end of the 1940s, all of the rest were reclaimed due to trends such as the Tokyo Olympics, the arrival of the period of high economic growth, and urban development. At present, there are buildings, roads, private houses, green spaces, etc. on top of the Hamacho River, and Hamacho Green Road is part of it.

　

　

　As you proceed further, you will reach the intersection with Ningyocho-dori again, and Suitengu, which is under rebuilding, will appear. It is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2016 (Page 100).

　

　Go further to the Nihonbashi River and cross the Kayaba Bridge. Kayaba Bridge is the third bridge counted from the lower part of the Nihonbashi River. The Toshin Beltway runs over the sky. The lower part of the bridge is Minato Bridge, and the upper part is Armor Bridge. The current bridge was replaced in 1992 due to the aging of the old bridge (monoshiri encyclopedia; page 25).

 

 

　Today, we start from Edobashi (all of the following photos were taken on October 26, 2015).

　Cross Edobashi toward Ueno and turn right at the intersection with Ningyocho-dori.

　Turn left along the road and follow Hamacho Riverside Street. On the left, you will see the Yukiyuki Monument of Former Chiyoda Hirone Elementary School.

　Turn left just before Ryogokubashi and Yasukuni Dori and follow Miyuki-dori. You will see the front entrance of Nihonbashi Junior High School on your left.

 

 

　Turn left at the Sukiyabashi intersection and enter Sotobori-dori St., and you will see "Nichido Gallery" on the left side of the street.

In addition, it crosses Hanatsubaki-dori at Ginza 7-chome. There is a Nishi-Ginza parking lot in the basement of Ginza 5-chome to 8-chome on Sotobori-dori St., and there is an entrance to the parking lot along the street.

 

　Proceed as it is, ahead of Ginza 8-chome, there is the Tsuchihashi intersection where Sotobori-dori St. and Gomon-dori intersect. Located at the southernmost tip of Sotobori-dori St. Chuo-ku, the Dobashi interchange of Tokyo Kosoku Doro is located at the intersection.

The bus on the day passes through Tokyo Kosoku Doro, turns left at Sotobori-dori St., and enters Showa-dori.
Here, turn left by expressway hassle and proceed along Gomon Street. There is the site of Shibakuchi Gate on the left side.

　Ginza 1-chome to 4-chome along Showa-dori. The office buildings are lined up, but the first floor is like Ginza, and show windows such as crystal products, shoes, and painting galleries are lined up. On the other hand, there are places where old buildings can look into their faces if you enter the one side street.

 　

　The exit of Takaracho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line surrounds all sides, and the intersection of Kajibashi Street. Like other intersections, many cars and people come and go. The area around this area is now Kyobashi, but it was newly named as Takaramachi in 1931 after the reconstruction of the earthquake. The name is left in the name of the Toei Subway station.

　After passing through Kyobashi 1-chome to 3-chome, Showa-dori crosses Yaesu-dori.
