A pleasant Ningyocho

[Shitamachi Tom] October 11, 2017 12:00

On October 8 (Sun), the annual "Tenten Festival" was held throughout Ningyocho. It was a sunny autumn holiday, and it was crowded with many families and tourists. As you know, this neighborhood has prospered as a downtown area since the beginning of the Edo period. After 400 years, we are now on a new boom.

The festival events are truly diverse. When I thought there was a fun corner for children, there was a plan to interact with geisha for adults, and cheers were flying in the ladder car test drive. A town walking tour for inbound tourists was also held, and a tourist correspondent also helped. International exchange is becoming increasingly important in the future.

If you missed the opportunity this time, it will be held again next year, so please visit us. In addition, events and festivals will continue in this area. On the 19th and 20th of this month, the annual "Betara City" will be held in the neighborhood of [Hoda Ebisu Shrine]. At the Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum on the 29th, attractions unique to Ningyocho are also available. Next month, one of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods (Matsushima Shrine) will also hold the Rooster Market.

 

The neighborhood of Ningyocho, full of charm. I can't keep an eye on it.
