The ruins of the warship training center

 Location 6-20 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku
Today, the land around the central wholesale market was once the Edo shogunate warship training center.
In April 1857 (1857), due to the necessity of open sea voyage, the Shogunate gathered flagships, patrons, and other applicants to practice navigation and marine artillery training and driving warships purchased from the Netherlands. The school was named warship training center, and the president (Shogen Mukai, Kaishu Katsu, etc.) was appointed and appointed as a professor.
It was burned down in 1864 (1864) and temporarily relocated to the residence of Matsudaira Akimori next to the south, and was renamed the Naval Office in July 1866 (1866). In November of the same year, it was burned again and moved to the current Hamarikyu, and on the site, the Tsukiji Hotel Building, Japan's first style hotel, was built.

The History of Kachidokibashi

 In the battle of Meiji 378, the people of Kyobashi district, who are the Imperial Army, will set up a ferryboat here to commemorate the victory and donate it to Tokyo City, named Kachidoki no Watari.
In June 1933, Tokyo City started construction of a new Futaba movable bridge, and the incidental change occurred, but it was completed in June this year, that is, when it was named on the bridge, it was a long memorial to the Imperial Army victory.

Kachidoki passing site (the later building is the Kachidokibashi Memorial Hall)

Location 6-20, Tsukiji, Chuo-ku
In 1892 (1892), "Tsukishima Pass" was opened between Ginza and Tsukiji and Tsukishima, but with the development of the Tsukishima side, traffic on both areas could not be handled by this alone. did.
In 1905 (1905), following the fall of Port Arthur fortress (northeastern China) in the Russo-Japanese War, volunteers from Kyobashi Ward set up a ferryboat named `` Kachidoki's handover '' and donated it to Tokyo City. The monument here is a monument built at this time. In front of the stone monument, there is "I of Kachi Toki", and on the side is engraved "January 38, 1938, Kyobashi District celebration party, Hino Tatenokyobashi District Doshikai".
The ferryboat of Kachidoki was located about 150 meters west of here near Namiwa Inari Shrine. The ferryboat on the opposite bank on the Tsukishima side was Tsukishima Nishikawashidori 9-chome (currently Kachidoki 1st and 3rd town borders). The ferry operated during this time.
Kachidoki's handover was used as an important means of transportation for residents and those who go to the Tsukishima factory, especially as it facilitated the concentration of the working population on Tsukishima, which led to the development of Tsukishima as an industrial zone.
After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 (1923), a bridge movement occurred, and a movable bridge that jumped up when the ship passed was built. In June 1940, it was abolished with the opening of Kachidokibashi.
The name of Kachidoki's handover has been handed down to the bridge name and still retains its name.

"Ginza Senbikiya" Tsukiji store opened today as a "sweets and chocolate specialty store using seasonal fruits". It is a well-passed road facing St. Luke Street, so I was looking forward to opening the store and came immediately. It's opening time at 10:30, but the line continues to the outside of the store even after 11 o'clock when we arrive. There are chocolates and sweets sold in "open quantity limited". However, looking at the showcase of the cake, my eyes became noticeable and I made it a classic shortcake and a Tsukiji roll cake from Senbikiya. The interior of the store has a calm wood grainy interior, with fruit jelly, madleine, fruit jam, and retort beef curry. Please note that does not just sell the freshness fruit of the image called the high-quality fruit speaking of a Senbiki person.

Ginza Senbikiya was founded in 1894 (Meiji 27) by dividing goodwill from Senbikiya Sohonten. It is also well known that Japan's first fruit parlor opened in 1913 (Daisho 2). The Tsukiji store is a "sweets and chocolate specialty store", and the chocolate won a gold tablet at "Salon du Chocolat 2015 Paris", the world's largest chocolate exhibition. It's also fun to be able to see up close by patissier and chocolatier people. Next time, I'm aiming for "strawberry tiramisu" which I gave up this time.

Tsukiji Honganji

(From the official website of the temple)

 Tsukiji Honganji Temple is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school, and Honganji Temple (Nishi Honganji Temple) in Kyoto is the main temple.
At the time of its foundation, it was erected as Tsukiji Betsuin, a separate temple located all over the country of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school.
From April 1, 2012, it became a directly controlled temple as a base in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the official name was changed to "Tsukiji Honganji".

The head priest of Tsukiji Honganji is Monshu.
The master is the representative of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school and the head priest of Motoyama Honganji. The current master is the 25th generation, Kojun Otani.

 

Ancient Indian style and Jodo Shinshu's "Minna no Tera" are fused.

 A round roof, a tower like a thorn, a large stone staircase and a pillar like a palace ...
This building, which suddenly sees in the land of Tsukiji, does not look like a temple at first glance, and seems to be reflected as a "somewhat mysterious, solemn building" that can be regarded as a Western style or an Indian / Asian style by people.
The rounded part is the roof of main hall, and the motif is the leaves of the bodhi tree. The lotus flower, which is also a symbol of Buddhism, is depicted in the center. This is the front face of "Tsukiji Honganji".

 

Heart, Bodhi tree and stained glass

The architect, Chuta Ito, left many fun designs at Tsukiji Honganji Temple.
The characteristic semicircular roof seen from the entrance is based on the leaves of a bodhi tree. In the center is the lotus flower, which is also a flower of Buddhist symbols.

After having lunch with a friend in Ginza on this day, we had lunch.
I went to Markeys at 8-chome Nishi Ginza-dori for the first time in 9 years.

 

This shop is famous for its Eclair, but it's a good place.
In fact, this high heel chocolate is so delicious and cute.
The price of 1,000 yen (excluding tax) for three is the same as 9 years ago.
The size is about 3 to 4 centimeters each.

 

I couldn't buy it because it was sold out.
I made a reservation on the spot and came back a week later.

 

There are three kinds of white, bitter, and milk.
Alazan in the shoe decoration is also like a jewel.

The chocolate itself is hard and firm, but it's hard.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, it melts smoothly and quickly,
You can feel the moderate flavor of cacao.
The taste of chocolate spreads in your mouth.

 

  

 

High heel chocolate is palm size and
It seems that you can order the actual size as well.

 

If you receive such a present, you can wear it on the spot (laughs).

By the way, this small chocolat 3 and 6 contains
It seems difficult to buy unless you make a reservation.
It is likely to heat up in February and March, so as soon as possible.★
