Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Do you have any plans for this weekend in the fine autumn weather?

Good weather is expected on November 3, Culture Day (Saturday) this weekend.

From 13:00 on November 3rd (Sat), the 11th National Conference of Foreign Retention Study Group (free, no reservation required) will be held in Tsukiji. This is a national tournament held by study groups of foreign settlements from various places.

In addition, from 10:00 on November 4 (Sun), the following day, there is an excursion tour (advance reservation system, first-come-first-served basis) that walks around the venue. The members of the study group will guide you, so I think it is a good idea to participate here. The deadline is November 2, so if you are interested, please hurry.

For details, please refer to the official website.

The theme this time is "Residential and Women's Education". Many mission schools were opened in the settlement of Tsukiji. There are monuments of those schools around the present St. Luke's International University. You will be able to find many monuments just by walking around the university. The lower right is the monument of Rikkyo Jogakuin, located along the street between the university and St. Luke's International Hospital. With this monument on your right and go around the path leading to the Toysler Memorial Hall (open to the public), you will find the monument of Rikkyo University.

The venue is Alice Hall of St. Luke's International University, which started nursing education for girls who graduated from high school in 1920 (Daisho 9). The name of the hall comes from Alice C. St. John, who was in charge of education at the time of its opening. He was a very strict teacher, and when he received a note of the call, he was so nervous that his knees were stiff. It seems that the class was English, so it would have been desperate to take notes.

At the national convention, you will hear stories about women's education that began in settlements all over Japan. It was just about when Taiga drama series entered Meiji period, and Japan was trying to quickly adopt Western civilization and culture. Looking back on the history of women's education on Culture Day, it may be a good way to spend a day.

For the tournament, please check the website and schedule of the Tsukiji Reservation Study Group along with the poster.

I was hoping that Yuzawaya would be built in Chuo-ku, but I was delighted to see the long-awaited fashionable Yuzawaya Ginza store opened on the 6th floor of Ginza Core, next to the Nissan Building in Ginza 4-chome last year.

Yuzawaya is one of the largest specialty stores in Japan that has been in business for 63 years, including handicrafts, fabrics, and hobby materials.

Sunday, October 28 "Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Festival" was held.
"Nihonbashi, the starting point of the five highways connecting Edo to the whole country, was also the end point from all over the country. This year marks the 46th anniversary, and now it is a festival where traditional festivals and dances from all over the country gather every year. " (From the website of the Nihonbashi Kyobashi Festival)
You can see the gorgeous "Oedo Kashiki Parade" and "Kunichi Orai City" where you can find specialty products from all over the country.
You can eat specialty products from all over the country in Japan.

"OLD NEW MARKET" was being held at Coredo Muromachi and Fukutoku Shrine.

A gorgeous parade continues, from the opening parade of local and public offices to the parade of countries where dances from various places dance.

In Edgran, Chuo-ku Jinman City was held.

Over time, I felt that Nihonbashi was crowded from all over the country.

Hello!
Today, I would like to jump out of Chuo-ku and deliver it from Tokyo International Airport (Hada Airport).

In this "Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent blog", in principle, information about Chuo-ku is to be sent.
Why did you pick up Haneda Airport in Ota-ku?

That's because there is a replica of Nihonbashi, one of Chuo-ku's identity, in Haneda Airport.
The name is "Haneda Nihonbashi". It is located in the International Terminal Building, which started operation in 2010.

After arriving at the international terminal by train, monorail, or bus, you will arrive at the departure lobby on the third floor.
You can see something like that in the direction of the left back. Go up to the 4th floor by escalator and go in that direction ...

You can see "Haneda Nihonbashi". Under the bridge, tables and chairs are placed to create a rest space.
The replica of Nihonbashi is modeled on a wooden Nihonbashi in the late Edo period and the first half of the 19th century, instead of the stone-built Nihonbashi that is currently built, and cypress from Yoshino is used. (By the way, Nihonbashi in the late Edo period seems to have been using cypress and zelkova.)
The width and length are reproduced in about half the size (4m x 25m).

You can use stairs and elevators to climb on the bridge.
Wooden lanterns are also placed, creating a Japanese atmosphere in a modern design terminal building.

"The departure has been in Nihonbashi for a long time and now."...It is a word that I want to keep in mind as a sightseeing correspondent in Chuo-ku

One side of the bridge is a wall, and a replica of the huge "Edo Figure Screen" is displayed.
The main towns of Edo during the establishment period are depicted, including Nihonbashi, Kyobashi / Shimbashi, Hatchobori / Tsukiji, and many towns in the current Chuo-ku. .
The photo is a part of Nihonbashi.

The opposite side of the "Edo-zu folding screen" has a good view, and you can see the departure lobby of the International Terminal Building.
Of course, it is far from the actual scenery seen from Nihonbashi....Laugh
You can enjoy the feeling of having slipped in time!

In addition, the "giboshi" shaped like an onion and the "hoju pillar" supporting it are reproduced in actual size.

By the way, the way from the departure lobby to "Haneda Nihonbashi" is called "Edokoji".
It is a shopping area inspired by the streets of the Edo period.

By the way, in addition to the "Haneda Nihonbashi" introduced this time, the "Edo Tokyo Museum" in Sumida-ku also has a replica of Nihonbashi from the Edo period, but all of them are reproduced only half in length....
The actual scale of Nihonbashi can only be experienced locally!

From Haneda Airport to Nihonbashi, you can take a direct train from Keikyu Line to Toei Asakusa Line without having to change trains.
Experience the texture of Nihonbashi in the Edo period at "Haneda Nihonbashi", think about the scenery of Chuo-ku in the Edo period with "Edo Figure Screen", and then stand on Nihonbashi....Such a trip may be interesting!

　From October 17 to November 3, "Autumn Ginza", an event related to gourmet and art, is being held, but on October 28, one of the main programs, the "Silver Tea Party", which is celebrating its 17th anniversary this year, will be held. Was.

13:00～16:00

A special event in which the five-class schools of Omotesenke, Urasenke, Mushakojisenke, Edo Senke, and Enshu-ryu tea ceremony and Sencha-do, which usually do not have the same seats, gather together, and the city of Ginza becomes the spot venue.

The sweets offered at the tea ceremony are original products that are elaborated by famous stores in Ginza. This year's theme is "Hana".

In addition, student creative tea ceremony, Tokyo University of the Arts in Gin Tea Party, Ito En Event (Ooi Ocha Daicha Party), sweets experience at parent and child Ginza are also held at the same time, so even those who are not familiar with the world of tea can easily experience Japanese hospitality.
