Nihonbashi has a long history since the early Heian period.

Fukutoku Shrine, which was revered by Ieyasu Tokugawa, is enshrined.

　

　

The Fukutoku no Mori, which is adjacent to the east side of the precincts, is the Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan.

In the forest was opened a year ago.

You can feel the four seasons while office buildings and commercial facilities are lined up.

It's a cozy space.

　This year, October 4 is August 15 in old calendar, and the mid-autumn moon (15 nights).

During this period, the moon rises at an angle suitable to look up in the clear night sky, making it the best season for moon viewing, but this year it is hatred and cloudy weather.

You will not be able to fully love the original beautiful moon.

Toyomi Bridge is a rare and valuable bridge that spans the mouth of the Nihonbashi River and is shaped like a ladder lying down, called the form "Fee Ren Dale Bridge".

The Eitai Bridge behind it was lit up, and Japanese pampas grass spikes on the riverside, heard the sound of insects, and it was a quaint moon viewing spot, but occasionally I was able to enjoy the moon floating in the waves of clouds.

Kafu Nagai is `` Shokutei Nijo '', `` The view of Eitai Bridge and the lights on Sagacho side diagonally from between the Toyomi Bridge steel frames, and tonight there is a slightly more painting than seeing at noon with the light of the moon. The full tide shines brilliantly with the moonlight, and the sound of the water hitting the shore of Hashimoto's stone wall or the connecting carrier is also quaint. "

＞Futaba (2-4-9 Nihonbashi Ningyocho) is a tofu shop located in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho. It is said that after its founding in Fukagawa, it moved to this area in 1948. It is an attractive shop with a wide selection of products.

　
　"Bamboo Tofu" in a tasteful bamboo tube has an anecdote unique to Nihonbashi. In the past, restaurants lined up along the Sumida River, offering cherry blossom viewing in spring, fireworks in summer, and moon viewing houseboats in autumn. Therefore, tofu was popular as a product to offer, but it often jumped out of the glass vessel due to the shaking of the boat, so he came up with a product poured into a bamboo cylinder as a measure to prevent it.

　

＞The famous "Jumbo Ganmo" is a product born from the playfulness of the third generation. About 30 years ago, we repeated cancers of different sizes and sold them as "offering cancers" at the end of the year, and gained a reputation as "delicious", and sold them as a whole year product. When boiling at home, the trick is to boil it before seasoning. The tie-up Yamatoimo swells softly and makes it easy to taste. "In the coming season, tofu goes well with pots and odens."

　

　Be sure to visit, buy several kinds of tofu, and enjoy the deliciousness of soybeans to your heart's content.

The autumn festival is finally the season of the autumn festival, and the Fukutoku Festival will be held on Sunday, October 22, in the area around Fukutoku Shrine in Nihonbashi.

This festival is a relatively new festival that was started to commemorate the completion of the new shrine of Fukutoku Shrine in 2014, but it is increasing year by year with the luxury of "Fukutokukuji" and various events on the day It is a festival that is

The event is hosted by the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association.

The Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association merged with the former Nihonbashi Muromachi / Honmachi Store Association and the former Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome Store Association for the purpose of commercial promotion in the Kitazume area of Nihonbashi (Muromachi, Honmachi, and Honishimachi). It is said that it was born in June 2011.

Currently, it consists of more than 100 stores, residents, and local companies.

Speaking of the "Fukutoku Festival", the highlight is the "Fukutoku Kuji", where luxurious prizes are awarded, but prior to the festival, "Vouchers" have already begun.

From October 2nd (Monday), you can participate in the lottery by shopping around Kitazume in Nihonbashi, getting this "exchange ticket", and exchanging it for "Fukutoku lottery" on the day.

Even on the day, you can get a "voucher" if you shop at the festival venue.

This "Fukutoku lottery" is named after the "Fukutoku lottery" that was held during the Edo period. At Fukutoku Shrine, at least during the Bunsei and Tenpo eras, the shogunate-approved lottery "Omentomi" was held. It seems that it was

According to "Edo Daitomishu", which is said to be published at the end of Bunsei, Fukutoku Inari Kogyo's lottery has a maximum amount of 300 cars (current value is about 40 million yen), which is held four times a year It seems that it was the highest () among the shrines of the performance.

Does it mean that it is a high-priced lottery because it is a venerable Fukutoku Shrine that is also related to Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada?

On the day of the festival, the lottery will be announced in the "Futtsu" method in which the wooden tag in the lottery box is pierced with a cone, imitating the venerable Fukutoku Shrine's "Futkuji".

The upper and lower photos show the lottery scenery of last year. Mr. Yasuto Yamamoto, Chairman of the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association, piercing the wooden tag.

You can hear the beautiful voice of the eighth generation Bunraku, reading the best wealth in the rakugo story "Tomihisa", "Matsuno Hyakujuban", "Matsuno Hyakujuban".

Anyway, to participate in the main event of the Fukutoku Festival approaching on October 22, "Fukutoku Kuji", you must get a "voucher" to get Let's go
