　"Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour 2015" was held again this year for three days from November 1 to 3.

With the guidance of AUTUMN GINZA 2015 in one hand, I'm glad that you can participate from anywhere in the nearest shrine you are participating in.

You will receive a stamp book at the first shrine you visited, and you will also have a stamp of the shrine.　From the second onwards, you will be asked to seal the stamp.

This year, ten companies were opened: Ko Inari Shrine, Ginza Inari Shrine, Ryuko fudoson, Asahi Inari Shrine, Hodo Inari Shrine, Ginza Iseyo guardian of children and travelers, Kabuki Inari Shrine, Azuma Inari Shrine, Success Inari Shrine, Toyo Iwaine Inari Shrine.

　When I made a gift at Asahi Inari Shrine, I bowed two bows, two beats, and bowed, I received a sealed letter with "Asahi Inari Shrine Engi".

Among them, I received postcards of Ema, a torii gate, a shrine enshrined on the rooftop. Also, you will be familiar with the history of Ginza.

　Success Inari Shrine also received Shiseido's "savon d'or" again this year. Thank you for the soap for your gift.

At Hodo Inari Shrine, we prayed for the health of our grandchildren.

Omikuji was included in a wonderful clear file designed for the Wako Building, the streets of Ginza, and the shrine of Hodo Inari Shrine.

In that, Hodo Inari Engi and his trust were written. "I'm lucky,"

In addition, a map of Yazaemon-cho and its surroundings at the time of 1902 is written, and it is a study. (Described later)

Postscript: I would like to talk about the auspiciousness of Hodo Inari Shrine.

The alleyway of 4-chome Sanban, where a small shrine called Hodo Inari was enshrined, was called Inari Koji.

This Hodo Inari was originally a shrine enshrined in Edo Castle in order to protect the growth of the successor of the Shogun family during the Edo period when the Inari religion was very popular.

　Since this Inari was very exciting for disaster prevention, a person named Yazaemon, a guardian of the temple, was erected at the corner of the current Namiki-dori St. in response to the deity of divine spirit. It is said that "the beginning of Takado Inari" at 4-chome.

Hodo Inari became the main god of defense without separating Shisho, and Yazaemon also decided to stay here and served as a talisman for Inari for a lifetime, so this area came to be called Yazaemon-cho.

　As you can see in the name of Hodo, this Inari is a god who protects the healthy growth of children. In addition, there are many famous companies whose birthplace is Yazaemon-cho, so it is less likely to visit as a god of business prosperity.

As a company that prays for child treasures and thriving business, we still have a strong religion today.

  Taimeiken in Nihonbashi is famous for its delicious Western food, such as dandelion rice and borcicht.

A kite museum has been set up, and at the beginning of the year, at Harumi Wharf and Hamacho Park, they teach children about kites and also teach the fun of kites.

I have visited several times, and have also guided tourists from Germany.

I have visited such a fun "Kite Museum", so I will report it.　

　It seems that you will be overwhelmed by many kites after entering the museum.

　He also explained the principle of flying kites and the conditions of wind.

　I found a smiling kite.　"Safety at home."

　I also received a letter of appreciation from Mr. Hiroshi Mitsuzuka, Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time, for his contribution to mutual understanding with the Federal Republic of Germany.

　A kite given by the chairman of the Kite Flying Association in Brunei.

　With love from Colombia

　It's a good word, "Kite-like style."

After all, kites look at the real thing, and if you don't actually fly them, you won't know the fun.

I pray that your luck will be lifted as high as a kite.　Silver

On the morning of November 6 (Friday), when we reached the Ginza 2-chome intersection along Chuo-dori, the annual Snake Christmas illumination was being prepared on the wall of the building of the Bulgari Ginza Tower store.

The head is complete, and the tail is not yet.

The season has come when the illuminations with the motif of "Serpenti", which is famous as an icon of jewels in Bulgaria, lit up.

It seems that the lighting is scheduled for November 13 (Fri).

　At the Marugoto Museum, we explored a little bit of Hanatsubaki-dori, which intersects at Ginza 7-8 chome on Sotobori-dori St. and Showa-dori. There are several Shiseido-related buildings in this area.

　It is the head office building of Ginza 7-chome. Mr. chief priest was gathering and doing a ceremony. At the "Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" held from November 1st to 3rd, I guessed that the "Successful Inari Shrine" (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 53), which sits on the rooftop, was prepared to open.

　There is also a shop called "Sushi Tsubaki" in the vicinity, but it costs "Omakase from 18,000 yen". I like "I like all the shops named camellia", but I haven't entered yet.

　At Tsubakiya Coffee Shop, I use it many times. It's a retro atmosphere.

　Finally, tomorrow (November 1) is the date of "Marugoto Museum 2015". Today (Saturday, October 31), the atmosphere is likely to rain in the cloudy sky from the morning, but I went around tomorrow's course again by bicycle.

　Below, we will add a little bit of information in the "Harumi area".

　As shown in the road sign in front of the original hotel Urashima (below) at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. coming from Kachidokibashi and the street coming from Harumi 1-2 chome, the road going straight from Kachidokibashi From here, it will be "Ariake-dori St.".

　A little further away from Ariake-dori St. is Harumi Ohashi. Harumi Ohashi is a road bridge connecting Harumi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo and Toyosu, Koto-ku. The bridge length is 580m, the height to the surface of the Harumi Canal at the highest point is 24.2m, completed on March 25, 2006. did.

　While looking at the Central Incineration Plant, Hot Plaza Harumi to the right, pass the Tsukishima Police Station New Government Building and proceed further along Harumi-dori St. to reach Harumi Terminal.

From the side of Harumi Terminal, see the Rainbow Bridge.

　It is the planned site of the Olympic athlete village.

　On the way home. Harumi-dori St. heading to Kachidokibashi, there is "Harumi Triton Square" on the right of Reimei Bridge, but there is a covered triton bridge across the Asashio Canal next to Reimei Bridge.

　At the "Marugoto Museum", "Harumi Triton Square" was the "Information & Lottery Venue" and "Flower Carpet Harumi 2015" as well as the venue for "Waku Waku and Suitable" Waterside Exploration "".

A monument to "the birthplace of seafarer education" is built on Eitai Bridge Nishizume at Shinkawa 2-chome. 140 years ago, on November 1, 1875, Mitsubishi Shosen School, the predecessor of Tokyo Shosen School (now the Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology) was established.

At that time, Japan's shipping industry was delayed due to the isolation of the country that lasted for more than 250 years, and the operation of major ocean-going vessels relied on foreign seafarers. In order to improve the appearance of a modern nation, the Meiji New Government considers it urgent to operate international routes by Japanese people, and ordered Yataro Iwasaki of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu under the order of the Minister of Internal Affairs Toshimichi Okubo, A full-fledged high seafarer education began with the sailing ship Narumimaru moored on the Okawa side of the school building and practice boat.

The Mitsubishi Shosen School, which was established on Reigishi Island, was later transferred to the government and became Tokyo Shosen School, and is now being handed over to the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology's School of Marine Science and Technology in Echinakajima, Koto-ku, across the Sumida River.

Toshimichi Okubo ordered Yataro Iwasaki to create a merchant ship school, but the headquarters of the Mitsubishi Steamship Company (established in 1870), which took over the business of the Tosa Domain, was located in Nihonbashi Minami Kayabacho (in 1874), and the company went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kochi, etc. ⇔headwater.

If you walk from Eitai Bridge to Shinkawa Park, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, and Ishikawajima Park, you will reach Aioi Bridge. There is a museum commemorating the 100th anniversary of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology on Ecchu Island in Koto-ku across the bridge. There is a permanent exhibition (ship engine, ship model, signal flag, rope work, etc.), and you can also climb on the deck of Meiji Maru. The photo shows Mr. Mori of Tokyo Shosen University OB, a volunteer of the Memorial Museum who guided me.

At the Memorial Museum, special exhibition is holding "Meiji Opened by Ships: The 140th Anniversary Exhibition of Merchant Ship Education: People raised ships and ships raised people" until November 30. Photos related to Mitsubishi Shosen School in the text were released for a limited time at the exhibition, and were provided by the courtesy of the 100th Anniversary Museum of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.

 The Memorial Archives are located in Echinakajima, Koto-ku, but this is a good opportunity to learn about the history of Mitsubishi Shosen School, which was established on the opposite bank of Reigishima Island (now Shinkawa, Chuo-ku). Why don't you extend your feet while thinking about the history of the waterfront in Chuo-ku from the monument of the birthplace of seafarer education at Eitai Bridge Nishizume?
