Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I went to the vicinity of Tsukiji on weekdays when I took a break. Even on weekdays, there are many tourists in the out-of-field market, and it seems that the relocation of the market will not be affected. On my way home, I stopped at Tsukiji Honganji. There was also a monument that was not listed in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia". Honestly, I didn't realize it until now.

　

"Shinran Shonin Statue" and "Train Transport Martyrs Memorial Monument" are photographed.

"Shinran Shonin" is a statue built as the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, the sect of Tsukiji Honganji. The Land Transport Martyrs Memorial Monument was built in 1969 by the Land Transport Martyrs Memorial Construction Association, with Mikasanomiya as Honorary Governor, mourning the victims of the traffic accident and wishing for the extinction of traffic accidents. .

If you look around slowly, you may find surprising discoveries.

　

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I always have a good time.

Zu Rashi Ambrus' concert "Picture Book of Music" was held at Ginza Blossom on December 8!

I've been visiting a concert held at Ginza Blossom before.

What is different from before is “Christmas time”.

This title is also accompanied by a word "Blas Santa".

So, the song is also a song selection that is conscious of Christmas.

It has a different atmosphere than usual.

This time, he appeared as a member of Zuo Rashi Ambrus (blob quintet)

And he always comes with me.

Not the string rabbits of the string quartet

The cats of the clarinet quartet, "Claricat" came.

Melissa Rosemary Bergamot Peppermint is a group of four people.

(Everyone is the name of the herb.)

https://www.superkids.co.jp/ehon/cc/oe_cc.html

Probably the first appearance at Ginza Blossom? I think it's going to be.

Well, it's time to open at 13 o'clock.

Everyone knows.

The members of Zou Rashi Ambrus will play the fanfare of the opening.

This time, I only got the second floor seat, so I can see the members so close.

I'm very happy.

And I said, "Only the second floor seat."

Excuse me. The second floor seat has a pretty good view.

Certainly, it is difficult to high-touch with the animals when there is a seat, but in terms of being able to see the whole thing and sound just right.

There may be a better part than the front seat.

And above all, from this time, I'm "over 3 years old", so I decided to buy one seat properly.

The second floor seat has a proper step from the front seat,

I think it was in a state where I could see the stage properly even with a short azuki.

The show begins.

Photography during the concert is NG, but...

In addition to the cool brass performance, the performance of the "clarinet quartet" which is difficult to hear is

He was healed with a gentle sound.

Of course, there are many Christmas songs that are familiar with the ears.

You may have heard even a small child! I think there were a lot of things I thought.

And ... by the end of the second half of the game, the children will not be able to concentrate.

Adults and children laugh with their stomachs "conto flavor (?) Also playing.

　・・・Bell-chan (nicknamed Bergamot on the 3rd clarinet) was that kind of child ... (sweat).

　I just want to tell you that she has just beaten me.

　At a new year concert that was held at another venue.

　Bell was working with the comedy character Sumatra Tora

　Maybe you should have noticed it around.

That's right. Each costume is also Christmas.

Indra Aeon's military uniform was cool!

I really enjoyed "Christmas" a lot.

・・・The person in charge of Ginza Blossom, "Zoo Rashi Ambrus at Christmas Time"

I hope it will be regularized, but... (speaker).


So, this time, I had a lot of fun.

The next concert at Ginza Blossom will be held on March 16, 2019 (Sat).

Ticket pre-sale has already begun.

・・And Edamame, I have already secured a ticket (laughs).

I'm really looking forward to hearing the performance in March!

When I entered the "heavy snow" of twenty-four season old calendar, it became like winter. I went out to see the hot topic "Akoya" competition. Today is "A Pro - Akoya of Tamasaburo". As you know, "Akoya" is a major role in female form, and after Utaemonjo, only Tamasaburo plays a difficult role. Speaking of the reason, you have to express the fine psychology while actually playing the three songs of koto, shamisen, and kokyu on the stage. Shigetada, who inquires about the whereabouts of Kagekiyo, says that if there is a lie in his words, there will be disturbances in the three songs that Akoya plays. After all, because it was on the flower path side, the gorgeous costumes of Akoya are just fascinated by the beauty that does not make you feel the age of Tamasaburo.

　

Tamasaburo is focusing on inheriting Kabuki arts, and this time again, he instructed young Umeeda and Taro Ko, and became a three-person competition style. Both of you have been practicing for more than a year. In the daytime section, Ichitaro's "Seven Roles of Osome" is also supervised by Tamasaburo. "Waterfall Shiraito" in March was also supervised by Tamasaburo. In an interview, Mr. Ichitaro said, "Tamasaburo's uncle will tell you what he has been doing as a property from each one of the movements. We have a mission to convey that happiness to our customers.” In the evening part, other comical "Anma and Thieves", Umeeda and Taro Ko's "Two Fujimusume" This is a picture-like beauty.

　

The daytime section is "Kosuke Mochi" and "Seven roles of Osome". In the evening section, the appearance will be different for A Professional and B Professionals, so please check before applying.

December Kabuki Chishuraku is the 26th.

　

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hong Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00-18:00)

 

 

Do you know where this building is located?

Today is Sunday, so I walked from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station to try to go to a pedestrian paradise in Ginza. On the way, this is Kyobashi 2-chome on Chuo-dori. I walked for about 5 minutes. I would like to enter Ginza Street around dusk, but I still have time, so I decided to walk around the town of Kyobashi.

　

The right is the Kyobashi Trust Tower, and the left is the Kyobashi Edgran building. The lower left is a building of Meijiya, so many people may understand it.

　

Recently, the cityscape of Kyobashi has changed rapidly. In particular, on the Tokyo Station side of Chuo-dori and Kyobashi 2-chome, I think that the heights of the four buildings facing the street have been unified, making it a beautiful cityscape. However, I felt that I was not keeping up with the changing speed of the city, so I checked various things.　

These four buildings are the Kyobashi Trust Tower on the right, the two in the middle are the Kyobashi Edgran, which incorporates the historic Meijiya Kyobashi Building, and the left is the Dai-ichi Life Building, which stands at the intersection of Kyobashi on the left.　

　

In particular, Kyobashi Edgran in the middle opened in 2016, and there are many commercial facilities, and events may be held, but since there is a historic building called Meijiya, it is a facility that makes you want to feel relaxed.

　

There is also the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the basement floor, so it is recommended that you take a look inside when you visit. You may find interesting spots, or you may be able to learn about the charm of the new Chuo-ku.

　

The Kyobashi Trust Tower on the right side was completed in 2014 and includes a hotel. To tell a historical story, the next Meiji-ya building was completed in 1933, and at that time there was a large-scale building of Chiyoda Life in the Kyobashi Trust Tower.

　

By the way, the first large-scale building built along Chuo-dori in Kyobashi 2-chome seems to have been a "Hoshi Pharmaceutical" building built in the middle of the Taisho era at the site of the current Dai-ichi Life Building.

　

As you walk along Chuo-dori toward Ginza, you will arrive at the Kyobashi intersection, which crosses Kajibashi-dori.

　

When you stand at the intersection with the Dai-ichi Life Building behind, the building standing in front of you is the Mutual Building 110 Tower owned by Dai-ichi Life. 110 is read as “every one.” It was named because 2012, which was built, is the 110th anniversary of Dai-ichi Life, but it seems that the next 110 years are filled with thoughts beyond the century.

It is about 56m high, but it is a building that makes you feel very dignified, probably because it is built at an intersection.

　

In this place, the first "Daiichi Mutual Museum" was built in the Taisho era. Designed by Kingo Tatsuno, famous for its station building at Tokyo Station. The current Mutual Building 110 Tower is a design reminiscent of the image of the First Mutual Building, and is the third generation building.

　

The window of this tower displays a model of the first interchange building and a part of the pillars, so if you want to know what kind of building it was, you should take a look at it.

　

The building opposite the tower building is Tokyo Square Garden.

The site area is quite large and the wall is far from Chuo-dori, making it a building that feels luxurious and spacious. Green, even that! I think it's so hard, so you might feel that way.

　

This building was built in 2012, but before that it was the place where the Kyobashi 3-chome Building, the Snakenome sewing machine industry building, and the Katakura building were built. It is also surprising that the two-headed buildings were designed by Togo Murano and Kunio Maekawa, but the other Katakura building seems to have been a special building that inherited the designs of the Taisho era.　

　

Now, along the Kajibashi-dori Street of Tokyo Square Garden, the fine medallion of this Katakura Building is displayed. Behind the Medalion exhibition, there is an explanation that allows you to know the history of the Katakura Building, and you can see which part of the building where this Medalion and the stone with the lower pattern were located, so please take a look here as well.

By the way, when I thought it was getting cold, I was approaching 4 o'clock in the evening. It's getting dark, so I'll be leaving Kyobashi soon. Now, the city of Kyobashi will be Sayonara, but I went to see the night view at a later date, so if you want to see it, please click a few photos of Kyobashi.

　

Let's go into Ginza Street.

Do you know the time of the pedestrian paradise on Ginza Street?

　　　◎Date and time of implementation: Saturday, Sunday and Holidays

　　　　　April to September: From noon to 6 p.m.

　　　　October to March: From noon to 5 p.m.

Winter is until 5 p.m., so it will end in about an hour.

　

This is the shortest season of the year. So, the next hour is a limited time in the year, where you can enjoy the pedestrian paradise of Ginza, which is getting darker. It is a time when the city changes very beautifully, coupled with the atmosphere of Christmas.

It is a building with Bvlgari and Cartier facing each other at the intersection of Ginza 2-chome. Originally, the building itself is beautiful Ginza Street. During this time when the lights of windows and streets begin to shine, the inside of the building is also reflected, and the building feels very beautiful.

　

　

As it is a precious pedestrian paradise, let's enjoy an important hour of the year on foot in the middle of the road. I crossed the intersection of Ginza 4-chome and copied it from the middle of the road. If it is not a pedestrian paradise, it is difficult to take such photos. On the left is Ginza Six.

　

I'll look back here. After all, the intersection of Ginza 4-chome can have an atmosphere. The four buildings at the intersection claim their individuality, so please take various pictures and enjoy them.

　

How was it? This year, Christmas Eve is a holiday, so Ginza Street is a pedestrian paradise. Be sure to get drunk in the city of Ginza full of light in the middle of the road.

　

After six months, I went around Chuo-ku and returned to the intersection of Ginza 4-chome. I think I wanted to write a little better, but it was Chuo-ku that I enjoyed quite a lot.

　

 

 

Hello, my name is Minato-chan.

Today, I would like to walk along the green path in front of St Luke's Garden.

The planting on the sidewalk is lush, small waterways run, and the row of cherry blossom trees are beautiful in spring.

Visit the precious remain and monuments that tell the story of Tsukiji Foreign Reservation in Meiji period, here in Akashicho.

♪　Toysler Memorial Hall

In 1933 (1875), a missionary building of St. Luke International Hospital was built on the banks of the Sumida River. Designed by J. Bergaminy, who was also involved in the design of St. Luke International Hospital. This is a two-story building made of reinforced concrete, partially wooden, reminiscent of a European mountain villa.
The interior is decorated with a half-timber-style design that expresses pillars and beams outside, and the interior is decorated with a Tudor Gothic style, entrance and living room, etc. It was relocated and restored in 1998 and is now located in the courtyard of St. Luke International Hospital.

♪　American Embassy

In 1859 (1859), the first U.S. minister, Harris, opened the U.S. Embassy in present-day Zenpukuji, Minato-ku. Then, the following year, a new embassy was built on the Tsukiji Foreign Reservation, and the description was set up here. It is said that it was a two-story wooden building, cream-colored Western-style building.

In 1890 (1890), he moved to Akasaka, the current U.S. Embassy location. On the site of the Tsukiji Foreign Reservation, there were five monuments made of Komatsu stone. A pattern that symbolizes the United States is engraved on a stone of about 1m square.
The monument contains two in the courtyard of St Luke's Garden, three in the courtyard of St Luke's International Hospital and in front of the Toysler Memorial.

♪　Henry Falls House Ruins

Henry Falls, a missionary physician from the Presbyterian of Scotland, lived here during his stay in Japan from 1874 to 1886.
I was interested in the practice of fingerprinting in Japan and conducted scientific research on fingerprints. In 1880 (1880), a paper published in the English magazine Nature was described as the world's first paper on scientific fingerprints, in which he published an experience of personal identification of criminals and referred to the genetic relationship of fingerprints. Later, in 1911 (1911), the first fingerprint method was adopted by the police in Japan.

♪　Monument on the banks of Sumida River

１．Monument at Tsukiji Unjosho site
In 1867 (1867), the Edo Shogunate established the Tsukiji Tepposhu Akashicho area as a Tsukiji Foreign Reservation Site, and established a lucky place to perform customs duties. This is the beginning of Tokyo Customs.

２．Monument of the establishment of the telegraph
In 1869 (1869), the construction of a telegraph line of about 32 kilometers was started connecting the Yokohama Court and the transmission office located in Tsukiji Unsho, Tokyo. Started operations in December of the same year. It was Japan's first public telecommunication and played a major role in Civilization and enlightenment.


♪　Monument to the school


１．Aoyama Gakuin Memorial Monument 1877 (1877)
２．Meiji Gakuin's birthplace monument 1877
３．Monument to the Birthplace of Girls' Seigakuin (1905)

In spring, Minatoko likes the appearance of cherry blossom petals floating on the glittering surface of the water.

There is a small fountain in the waterway, and there is also a cute bridge that can be crossed in just a step.

This is an unnamed road, but it is a unique street that delights walking people.
