Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On the way of a walk last weekend, I saw a poster (pictured) of "Peach Festival Hina Matsuri" at Sanko Inari Shrine in Nihonbashi Horidome-cho, so I would like to introduce this Inari.

Sanko Inari Shrine was Osaka's Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared in Nakamura-za, even though the Kinubu wholesaler Tawaraya Village Koshi Shozaemon and cotton wholesaler Tateishi Sanzo, who lived near the area (formerly Hase Kawamachi), was recommended in the early Edo period. It is said that it was Fushimi since 1689 (Genroku Kan 2). The shrine hall was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and rebuilt in 1924 (Daisho 13). In the same year, Hase Kawamachi and Tadokoromachi merged into Horidome 2-chome, at which time Tadokoro Inari Daimyojin was enshrined. Later, at the time of land readjustment in 1933 (Showa 8), he was transferred to his current location, and the street came to be called Sanko Shindo.

Basically, it is an unmanned company, and vermilion seal stamp and others can be awarded at Ningyocho-dori at the fourth cosmetics store Okina (Mr. Obata). According to Mr. Obata, various events have been held every season, including the peach festival (Hina Matsuri), for a long time, but the display of doll decorations seems to have started about ten years ago. The five-tiered doll decorations (pictured) on the worship hall are impressive with a presence that creates a gorgeous and dignified atmosphere. In addition, Sanko Inari Shrine has long been visited by daughters, children, geisha, etc., and it is said that if you make a request when you lose sight of cats as a cat tribe guardian angel. The beckoning cat (pictured) on the precincts is said to have been dedicated by the owners who have returned the cat.

The location is on the north side of the subway Ningyo Station, located in the back of a narrow side street on the east side of Ningyocho-dori (in the direction of Kodemmacho), and at the entrance there is a stone sign (pictured) of Sanko Inari Shrine approach. It is a small Inari Shrine that is a bit difficult to understand, but if you are interested in the Hina Matsuri held on March 3 (Thursday) and cats, why not visit once?

　Do you know a town magazine called "Ginza Hundred Points"?
As the name suggests, it is an information magazine of Ginza published by the store association "Hundred Stores Association", which has many long-established stores in Ginza.

It was first published in 1955, and it is the oldest town magazine in Japan to become No.735 this month. (Maybe)
The name of the town magazine is "Ginza 100 Points" instead of "Ginza 100 Stores" even though it is published by the Ginza 100 Store Association!

What is different from town magazines in other regions is that "Ginza Hundred Points" has a fixed price.
That's also a pretty price of 270 yen.

　The number of copies is about 100,000, and of course, like other free papers, it is located at the storefronts of stores that are members of the Hundred Store Association and can be obtained free of charge.

However, it is surprising that there are about 1,500 people who subscribe annually for a fee (4062 yen, including shipping costs). It is said that there are many readers from Hokkaido to Okinawa and overseas.

The content is based on the current information of Ginza, but it is enough to read as a booklet, with contents not found in other town magazines, such as essays by celebrities from various fields and round-table discussions with celebrities.

It's more luxurious.

All participating stores are listed on the map, so it is convenient to walk around Ginza.

A spring-like photo exhibition is being held at Canon Gallery Ginza in Ginza 3-chome.

This is a photo exhibition by photographer Ken Watanabe, "Sakura Sakura Color".

The period is from Thursday, February 25 to Wednesday, March 2.

Various expressions of Sakura are captured.

You can feel spring a little earlier.

You can take photos in the gallery.

A French friend who loved Japan who came to Tokyo on a private trip in January decided to come to Tokyo on a business trip.
Harumi's 100 yen shop (/archive/2016/01/post-2993.html), which I introduced last time, of course I would go this time again, but before that, I said I wanted to go to rotate. In France, it seems that there is a popular restaurant called Planet Sushi (http://www.planetsushi.fr/), which eats in outer space, but it seems that "I still want to go real!" Since the accommodation is Ginza, he says, "If it was 'real', it wouldn't be a Tsukiji sushi restaurant," and he wants to go to "rotating sushi". "It's a difficult request again. When I looked for it while thinking that there would be no rotating sushi in Ginza, it was somehow open in "Kirarito Ginza"! Kirarito Ginza opened in October 2014, and since I often pass along Chuo-dori in front, I knew from the signboard that there were hot restaurants such as "Ding Thailand Yutaka" in Taiwan, which is a delicious small dragon package. But this is my first experience. Take the elevator and go up to the 8th floor. The name of the shop is "Rotary Sushi Tavern Ginza Numazu Port".

It was Sunday evening, so there weren't many customers yet and I was able to enter right away. As you can see, the inside of the store is a bright Japanese atmosphere based on wood grain. Immediately, I go to get skipjacks and scallops flowing through the belt, but my friend seems to have studied a lot about the story as expected, and Mr. Watanabe, the store manager in front of me, horse mackerel, octopus, Thai, Tsubugai, etc. We will continue to order bitter places. By the way, Mr. Watanabe is the winner of the 2008 TV Champion Sushi Craftsman Championship, so he will judge the story skillfully, "a handful of soul". I had a cup of stomach in no time after stacking the dishes like this. When I was ready, I decided to go to Harumi's 100 yen shop together. 。 。

When I entered, there were still vacant seats, but there was a line in front of the store. It's a popular restaurant. [Rotary Sushi Tavern Ginza Numazu Port]

Cherry blossoms in a small park begin to bloom

I did it.

This cherry tree in February

It begins to bloom
I don't remember much.
Every year since March.

It began to bloom.
About the third week of March

It's in full bloom.

A row of cherry blossom trees on Ningyocho Street

It's almost in full bloom
It's from the last week of March to April.
This cherry tree in Hakozaki is

Rather than a row of trees in Ningyocho
It's a cycle of about a week.
Maybe

The varieties may be different.

Overturn the expectations of the warm winter
It was February with a strong cold wind.
The mild weather of the last few days

It may have sprung up.

We will finally reach the end of March.

The cherry blossoms that bloom at this time match the spirituality of the Japanese in many ways.

　An exhibition and sale event that also serves as a city PR in Tokyo, sponsored by the Tokyo Marathon 2016, is being held.

On February 27, I went to Tokyo Big Sight.

On this day, Shiho Shingu, the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo, greeted me with a smile.

I was able to take a commemorative two-shot, but unfortunately both photos show the faces of ordinary customers clearly and cannot be announced.

　At the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, hand towels printed with Skanda of Daikanonji are popular, and they are on sale!

"Kendama" was popular among the children who visited.

By the way, for shopping, I purchased 5 bags of "Tonben" beef soboro soft sprinkle

(Gomoku cooked rice ingredients have been purchased at Nihonbashi stores since last year.)

Mr. Takara Tsukuda Co., Ltd. tasted Tsukudani and purchased three bags of his favorite "clam" Tsukudani.

This product seems to be sold at Kibikicho Square in Kabukiza, so please come!

It goes without saying that breakfast has progressed the next morning.
