Tsukishima Kusa City

[CAM] July 10, 2017 09:00

 

 Saturday, July 8 9 (Sun) is "Tsukishima Kusaichi".

  

 As stated in the Monoshiri Encyclopedia, "When the tray approaches, there was a city that sold tray supplies such as Houroku, Ogara, and Hozuki. This is the beginning of Kusaichi, which is now held on the weekend of early July, and there are various stalls on the 500m Tsukishima Nakadori shopping street."

 In Tsukishima Nakadori Shopping Street (commonly known as Monja-dori), large-scale apartments have been started through the urban redevelopment project. It's a 32-story building, so it's lonely that the downtown atmosphere disappears, but when it's completed, the image of the street will change again. It is scheduled to be completed on March 31, 2021, but the site area is quite large and it is likely to be a considerable large condominium, and this will increase the population of Chuo-ku again.

 In the vicinity, there is the site of the Tsukishima Machinery Headquarters as a large remaining land. Currently, it is a parking lot, but if a high-rise apartment is built here, the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas will be further converted into high-rise apartments.

 

 In Tsukuda, the closed site of public bath has been transformed into a medium-sized condominium. In addition, the site of a small store is gradually turning into small and medium-sized condominiums. Two subways, the Metro Yurakucho Line and the Toei Oedo Line, are available, and the Tsukuda and Tsukishima districts, which are within walking distance to Yurakucho and Ginza, are likely to increase the population.
