From Tuesday, December 26 to 28 (Thursday), the year-old city of Odeko, Yagenbori fudoson, will be held in Nihonbashi. The location is Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome, the eastern end of Chuo-ku. The nearest stations are Higashi-Nihonbashi Station and Bakuro-Yokoyama Station. It takes place in the fudoson area of Yagenbori.
The year-on-ichi is the last city of the year, where New Year's decorations such as shimenawa sacred ropes, winter clothing and food are sold cheaply. The remaining old cities in Tokyo are Hagoita in Asakusa and Yagenbori here. Yagenbori's year-old city was the last city in Edo Gofu, so it was called the "Noto-no-ichi". It was once cut off in the war, but the local people have resumed, and even now in Heisei, they can buy it at the beginning of the year while enjoying the Edo atmosphere.
Yagenbori was the place where Dutch studies (medicine) surgery was performed during the Edo period, and the place where the talks began. There are a number of related monuments on the premises. And it has a very mysterious cityscape. In a small town, if you walk for a few minutes, you will get to one of the major streets in Tokyo, but when you enter the Yagenbori area, such a modern hustle and bustle disappears, and you will feel the illusion of entering a town somewhere in Showa.
The best time to visit is from dusk to night.
I don't want to go shopping at such times even though it's cold and busy....I feel like that, but this is the most mysterious thing.
It is a very recommended spot for those who like to take pictures of the night view.
There's also a lion dance, and there's a lot of entertainment. You'll bite your head properly!
Many strange stories are actually transmitted to year old cities around the country. Those who died in that year came to shop, or local youkai opened a shop at night. At the end of the year, everyone is passing each other on the street corner and welcomes a new year.
The current Yagenbori Toshinoichi has a very lively atmosphere with the power of a nearby wholesale district. By all means, please come to the lively “last year old city” where there is mysterious!
