Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

This summer, the weather was unseasonable, and I feel that the cicada sounded was short. Perhaps because of that, I wasn't blessed with the opportunity to take pictures of a houseboat passing under the title Harumi Bridge.

　

The Harumi Bridge runs parallel to the Harumi Bridge, an industrial remain freight wire. This freight line connected Ecchujima Station of JR and Harumi Wharf, but was abolished in 1989 and all railway lines were removed. However, the only remaining remain is this arch bridge and is said to be "a valuable heritage that has seen the development of the Gulf Area."

　

The canal that flows below this is the Harumi Canal (or Harumi Canal), and the Ohashi that runs downstream of this river is also Harumi Ohashi, but this bridge is indicated as Harumi, which uses spring letters. This bridge is also the ward of Chuo-ku and Koto-ku, where Harumi-dori St., which connects Harumi, Kachidoki, Tsukiji in Chuo-ku, and Harumi-dori St., connects Ginza with Koto-ku and Toyosu and Shinonome in Koto-ku.

　

As a place where you can see skyscrapers in the Harumi and Tsukishima districts that continue to develop in the bay area of Chuo-ku, the industrial heritage that is an abandoned arch bridge, the houseboat that colors the summer night in Tokyo, and the fun of the name (Harumi and Harumi) is especially recommended during the twilight season.

　

 

 

It's September already...It's fast.
It has been three and a half years since he became a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. My son, who was a baby, is almost four years old.

　　　　

　　　　

The other day, I went to radio recording, one of the correspondent's activities.
In one corner of the program called "Hello! RADIO CITY" in Chuo FM, we will introduce the contents of the correspondent blog (`・ ・ ω ・ ́)!

　　　　

Central FM. The studio on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Square Garden.
You can see it from the outside.

　　　　

　　　　
It's actually the fifth recording.

　　　　

When I was recording for the first time, I never thought I would be talking on the radio, so I was so thrilled in front of the microphone and I don't really remember what I said. (Is it now?...Laugh)

　　　　

But every time, navigator JUMI leads me brightly, and I'm not good at speaking in public, talking about perapella, laughing, or speaking in public than I thought, but it's fun to talk here.

　　　　
However, the last sentence "I love, Chuo-ku!" For some reason, it gets shy and becomes a strange low tension (>_<)
I really love it! ！Laugh

　　　　

　　　　

Navigator JUMI
As a working mom, she is a senior and a longing woman.

　　　　

　　　　
Also, there are not many opportunities for correspondents to meet each other, so it is one of the pleasures to be able to join together when recording. When you meet face-to-face and ask the story, "Oh, this person is a blog name XX!"

　　　　　
This time, I was with "Sumida Fireworks".
The blog of "Sumida Fireworks" thought that the photos were particularly fashionable and cool.
I was happy to be able to take pictures and talk about cameras when writing blogs (*^^*)

　　　　

　　　　
In such a case, correspondents write blogs and talk on the radio about Chuo-ku.

　　　　

Central FM "Hello! RADIO CITY"
There are new discoveries by listening to the backstory of the blog, etc., and it is recommended.☆
You can feel the charm of Chuo-ku more and more.

　Walk around Harumi Wharf in late August. "Teryomaru" was anchored on the quay.

　

　The Fisheries Agency's "Teryo Maru" is a fishery control boat, which aims to conduct illegal operations and guidance and control of foreign fishing boats that install fishing gear in waters around Japan.

　

　Built in 1998, it has played an important role as a large fishing research vessel for marine biological resources and marine environments.

　

　In recent years, illegal operations in the waters around Japan have become increasingly sophisticated and malicious and widespread, so it has become an issue to strengthen the crackdown on foreign fishing boats that commit these illegal activities. Has become a fishing control ship. (From the Fisheries Agency website)

　

　"Teryo Maru" is sometimes anchored at Harumi Wharf.

　On the morning of the day, on the quay where few people took a walk, bathed in the sunshine, and "Teryo Maru" was waiting for the next departure.

　

 

 

At the Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE, a retro Western-style building facing Ginza 1-chome, Showa-dori, "MUSEE Exhibition Gustave Dre's" Kamikyoku "dante" Kamikyoku ", more than 500 years of precise visualization "is being held.

On display are 29 pieces individually framed from an illustration book about 100 years ago () purchased by a representative of the gallery at a secondhand bookstore in New York.

Güstab Dore visualized Dante's "God Song" Hell, Purgary, and Heaven.

It's monotone, but the work depicting the episode of the heavenly edition on the second floor of the gallery looked like the work itself was shining.

From the work of the Privilege on the first floor, I felt strange depth and thickness.

Since Gustave Dore visualized the feature epic "Kamikyoku" written by Italian poet Dante from the 13th and 14th centuries with woodblock prints in the 19th century, I realized that there are many things around us today.

In fact, if you look at it, you can see clearly, but I think it's like Harry Potter.

I thought that the publication of this illustration book would have been really epoch-making at the time.

We recommend that you take a closer look at the works exhibited on the first and second floors of the retro gallery with the naked eye.

The event will be held from Wednesday, August 23 to September 24 (Sun).

Opening hours are from 11:00 to 18:00, and are closed on Monday and Tuesday during the period.

In addition, we received your consent for photography in the gallery, and the representative of the gallery gave a direct explanation of the contents of this exhibition.

Thank you very much

By the way, at dusk, the appearance of the retro gallery, which you can see when the gallery is lit, is also wonderful.

The fire that recently occurred in the [outside market] was a major incident in which the surrounding area was temporarily confused, but fortunately I was relieved without human damage. I was worried about what would happen because it was a dense area with old wooden buildings. You must have been surprised.

There were several shops that were unable to operate due to the collapse or damage of the shop due to the fire, and I was sorry, but there were a number of handwritten notes on the fire site, `` I am temporarily operating elsewhere '' I'm caught my eye. The sadness of the blue sheet is also encouraged by touching the strength that can never be seen.

　

A greengrocer has been operating a blue sky only in the morning beside a nearby gas station. There are many regulars, and vegetables are sold one after another. Each time, encouragement and familiarity are exchanged, such as "Please do your best" or "I'm glad you got a business."

　

Tsukiji is not only full of humanity, but also people with a strong heart that can withstand adversity support the food culture firmly. Please support the development and resurrection of Tsukiji [outside market]. And I hope you will come and visit us when you come near you. Thank you very much.

 

 

I went to Ningyocho!

　

As you may know many people know, the history of the official place name "Ningyocho" is shallow. "Ningyo-cho currently has three chores, occupying both sides of the Toden line from the stop at Suitengu to Horidome-cho in the northwest direction, and the correct town names are Sumiyoshicho, Sakaimachi, Shinwa Izumicho, Yoshicho, former Osakacho, Kakigaracho and Matsushimacho. However, along with Suitengu, the name of Ningyocho was famous since Furusato," and "History of Chuo-ku".

Suitengu Shrine from the Suitengu-mae intersection (it is said to be beneficial to safe delivery and water shortages, and it is crowded with many worshipers on the day of the dog)

　

One of the major factors in the development of Ningyo-cho was the relocation of Suitengu from Shiba-Akababashi Arima Kagami-yashiki to Arima Kagami-yashiki in Kakigara-cho in 1872. And it developed as the temple town of Suitengu.

　

"The monthly festival is held on the 1st, 5th, 15th, and the Dog Day every month, but on the Hatsusuitengu, Reitaisai festival (May 5th), and the Dog's Year Dog Day, many people come from a distance and visit the crowd. However, it is said that the prosperity is unprecedented. The entertainments of Kagura 75-za and local volunteers were dedicated, and fairs stood out inside and outside the precincts, and the prosperity that continued as a pilgrimage was a unique view of Tokyo."

　

However, after the Taisho Earthquake, emerging shopping streets were born in various places, and the development and the prosperity of department stores declined Ningyocho. Even after the war, shrines and temples was generally not shaken, so Sutengu did not receive the same attention as modern times.

　

By the way, Ningyocho transformed into a wonderful city in 2017 with the changing times.

When you go up to the ground from exits A1 and A2 on the Hibiya Line, two Karakuri clocks will welcome visitors across Ningyocho Street.

　

Speaking of Ningyocho, amazake Yokocho, Kakigara Ginza Ruins, Saigo Takamori Yashiki Ruins, Junichirou Tanizaki Birthplace, Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, Genji Store, etc. are famous. This time, I walked around the city with spots from the Suitengumae intersection to the amazake Yokocho intersection.

　

At the Suitengu intersection, the Mihara Domoto store and Shigemori Eishindo stand across Ningyocho-dori. Shigemori's Ningyo-yaki and Zeitaku Senbei are very famous as a souvenir of Ningyocho. The dorayaki and bean Daifuku of Mihara-do are also very popular, but I personally recommend salt rice crackers. Follow up with exquisite flavors. Follow Ningyocho Dori toward amazake Yokocho, and when the scent of nikki drifts from your right hand, you will arrive at Kotobuki-do. The golden potato with the scent of nikki is a specialty of Ningyocho. If you follow the road, you will find Gyokuido on your right. The Torayaki of Gyokudo is famous, but I would like to recommend "Tamabun". The bun is made up of 5 layers, and you can enjoy the appearance and the moderate sweetness is very good. It is also famous for its origins from amazake Yokocho that there was a sweet liquor store called "Owari-ya" in the current location of Gyoeido.

Turn right at the amazake Yokocho. Go straight along amazake Yokocho leads to Meijiza. There are a number of long-established stores in amazake Yokocho, such as spelling shops and musical instrument shops dealing with shamisen and bechi. Then turn right at amazake Yokocho and go a little further.

There is also Yanagiya, which is famous for its sea bream. But this time, I decided to turn left without turning right.

Immediately, the stone monument of "Junichirou Tanizaki's Birthplace" comes into your eyes. Junichirou Tanizaki was born in 1886 at his grandfather's house, Tanizaki Katsubunsho. It is said that the book on this monument is written by Mrs. Junichirou Tanizaki.

　

Beyond that is Nihonbashi Elementary School. It was currently undergoing renovation work. This is famous as the site of the Saigo Takamori mansion. In the Edo period, this area was the lower residence of the Sakai family of the Himeji clan. In addition, in the map of 1873, there is a description of "Kakigara-cho 1-chome Ichi-26333tsubo Kane, 586 yen Takamori Saigo".

Saigo Takamori will only stay here for two years from 1871 to 1873. He returned to Kagoshima in the political change in 1873, and caused suicide in the 1877 Southwest War.

　

In addition, there is such an alley in Ningyocho, and you can feel the downtown atmosphere.

　

Finally, I would like to introduce two companies, Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, and finish this blog.

　　　　Chanogi Shrine　　　　　　　　　Matsushima Shrine

　

Chanogi Shrine "In this area, there is the Nakayashiki of the Hotta family of the Sakura Domain in Shimousa, and the guardian angel worshiped enshrined deity. The tea tree planted around the shrine is said to be the origin of the name "From the Chuo-ku Monochiri Encyclopedia" (Hobukuro-son, Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods)

　

Matsushima Shrine "It is located in Matsushima-cho, and the date of first enshrinement is said to have been before Toru, and divine spirit is seeking Yoshimi Kanemi in 1585. Sumiyoshi, worshiping the god of food, when this area was a seashore, there was a pine tree Kojima in the sea. It is said that the shrine on the island was commonly referred to as Matsushima Inari. In 1713, when this area became a town area, Matsushima Shrine was famous for its annual Tori-no-ichi Fair, and it was incorporated into the first floor of the building. (the great power god of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods)

　

This time, I wrote a blog focusing on a part of Ningyocho, but I haven't yet written about the charm of Ningyocho. I would like to describe the Kakigara Ginza ruins and Daimon-dori, which I could not touch this time, in another time.

Nevertheless, Ningyocho was a city with a very deep content in history and culture.
