Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On a weekday when I took a break, I went to Tsukiji. Even on weekdays, there are many tourists in the out-of-office market, and it seems that the relocation of the market will not affect it. On the way back, I stopped by Tsukiji Honganji. There was also a monument that was not listed in "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia". To be honest, I didn't notice until now.

　

Photos of the Shinran superior statue and the monument to the memorial of land traffic martyrs.

The statue of "Shinran Jojin" was built as the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, the sect of Tsukiji Honganji. The "Track and Field Traffic Martyrs' Memorial Monument" was built in 1969 by the Land Traffic Martyrs' Memorial Construction Party, with Mikasamiya honorary governor, in mourning the victims of traffic accidents and wishing to extinct traffic accidents. .

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

　

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I always have a good time.

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

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

/archive/2017/07/post-4508.html

What is different from the past is "Christmas time".

The title this time is also accompanied by a word "Brass Santa".

So, the songs are also selected for Christmas.

It has a different atmosphere than usual.

This time's appearance is a member of Zou Rashi Amblas (Brass Quintet)

And they always come with me

It's not a string quartet "string rabbit"

The cats of the clarinet quartet "Claricat" came.

It's a group of four Melissa Rosemary, Bergamot Peppermint.

(Everyone is the name of the herb.)

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

Maybe it's the first time in Ginza Blossom? I wonder if it's going to be.

Well, it was the opening time at 13:00.

Everyone knows.

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

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

It's a very nice thing.

And he said, "Only the second floor seats."

Excuse me. The second floor seats have a nice view.

Certainly, it is difficult to make a high touch with the animals when the seats are down, but in terms of being able to see the whole thing and sound just right as sound.

There may be a better part than the front seat.

And above all, from this time, she was "3 years old or older", so she decided to buy one seat properly.

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

I think that even a short azuki was in a state where the stage could be seen properly.

It finally started.

Photography during the concert is NG, but...

In addition to the cool brass performance, the performance of the "clarinet quartet" that is difficult to hear is performed.

It was healed with a gentle tone.

Of course, there are many Christmas songs that are familiar to your ears.

Even a small child may have heard it! I think there were a lot of things that I think.

And ... By the time when the children are about to lose their concentration in the second half of the game.

"Cont flavor (?)", which makes both adults and children laugh with their stomachs. There's also a performance.

　・・・ Bell-chan (nickname of 3rd clarinet bergamot) was such a child ... (sweat).

　I just tell you that she was just boked down.

　At the New Year Concert, which was previously held at another venue

　Bell was acting with Tiger Sumatra, a comedy character.

　I might have been aware of it.

That's right. The costumes are also Christmas specifications.

Indra Aeon's military uniform was cool!

I really enjoyed a lot of "Christmas unique to Christmas".

・・・ The person in charge of Ginza Brosam, "Zoo Rashi Amblas at Christmas Time"

I hope it will be regularized ... (Scream).


That's why I had a lot of fun this time too.

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

Ticket advance sale has already begun.

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

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

When we entered the "heavy snow" of twenty-four season old calendar, it became wintery. I went out to see the popular "Akoya" competition. Today is "A Pro-Tamasaburo's Akoya". As you know, "Akoya" is a major role of a woman, and after Utaemon Jo, only Tamasaburo will be played. The reason is that you have to express the fine psychology while actually playing the three songs of Koto, Shamisen, and Kokyu on the stage. Shigetada, who is prying about the whereabouts of Keisei, says if there is a lie in the words, the three songs played by Akoya will be disturbed. Really ... 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 Tamasaburo's age.

　

Mr. Tamasaburo is focusing on inheriting Kabuki arts, and this time again, the style of a three-person competition was instructed by young Umeeda and Kotaro. It seems that both of them have been practicing for more than a year. In the daytime section, Ichitaro's "Seven Roles of Osome" is also supervised by Tamasaburo. "Taki no Shiraito" in March was also supervised by Tamasaburo. In an interview, 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 Thief", Umeeda and Kotaro's "Two Fuji Musume" This is a picture-like beauty.

　

The daytime part is "Kosuke Mochi" and "Seven Roles of Osome". In the evening part, the appearance is different for A Pro and B Pro, so please check before applying.

December Kabuki Senakiraku is on the twenty-sixth.

　

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku at 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

 

 

Do you know where this building is located?

Today is Sunday, so I walked from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station 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 at dusk, but I still have time, so I decided to walk around the city of Kyobashi.

　

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

　

The cityscape of Kyobashi has changed rapidly recently. In particular, on the Tokyo Station side of Chuo-dori / Kyobashi 2-chome, I think that the heights of the four buildings facing the street have been unified, creating a beautiful cityscape. But I didn't catch up with the changing speed of the city, so I looked into it a lot.　

These four buildings are "Kyobashi Trust Tower" on the right, the two in the middle are "Kyobashi Edgran", which incorporates the historic Meijiya Kyobashi Building, and the leftmost is the "Daiichi Life Building" at the intersection of Kyobashi.　

　

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 relax.

　

There is also the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the basement, 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 was completed in 2014 and includes a hotel. Historically speaking, the next building of Meijiya was completed in 1933, and at that time, a large-scale building of Chiyoda Seimei was already built at the Kyobashi Trust Tower.

　

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

　

As you walk along Chuo-dori toward Ginza, you will reach the intersection of Kyobashi, which crosses Kajibashi Street.

　

Standing 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 "Ichiichimaru". It was named because 2012, which was built, is the 110th anniversary of Dai-ichi Life, but it seems that the next 110 years have a thought beyond a century.

Although it is about 56m high, 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 Hall" was built in the Taisho era. It is designed by Kingo Tatsuno, famous for the station building of Tokyo Station. The current Mutual Building 110 Tower is a third-generation building with a design reminiscent of the image of the First Mutual Building.

　

In the window of this tower, models and parts of the pillars of the first interchange building are displayed, 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 luxurious and spacious building. I wonder if this is green! I'm so excited, so you may feel that way.

　

This building was built in 2012, but before that it was the place where the Kyobashi Sanchome Building, the Snake-no-Meshin Industrial Building, and the Katakura Building were built. It is surprising that the two-head buildings were designed by Togo Murano and Kunio Maekawa, respectively, but the other Katakura Building seems to have been a special building that inherits the Taisho era designs.　

　

Now, along the Kajibashi street of this Tokyo Square Garden, a fine medalion of this Katakura Building is displayed. Behind this medalion exhibition, there is also an explanation where you can learn about the history of the Katakura Building, and you can see which part of the building the stone with this medalion and the lower pattern was located. I think it's good to look at it.

Well, when I thought it was getting cold, I approached 4 o'clock in the evening. It's getting dim, so I'll leave Kyobashi soon. This will make the city of Kyobashi a goodbye, 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.

　

Well, let's go into Ginza Street.

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

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

　　　　　April-September: From noon to six p.m.

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

Winter is until 5:00 pm, so it will end in about an hour.

　

Now is the shortest season of the year. So the next hour will be a limited time in the year, where you can enjoy the darkening pedestrian paradise of Ginza. Combined with the Christmas atmosphere, it is a time when the city changes very beautifully.

It is a building with Bulgari and Cartier facing at the intersection of Ginza 2-chome. Originally, the building itself is beautiful Ginza-dori. During this time when windows and street lights 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 walking in the middle of the road. I crossed the intersection of Ginza 4-chome and photographed it from the middle of the road. If you are not a pedestrian paradise, you will not be able to take such pictures easily. You can see Ginza Six on the left side.

　

Let's 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. Please 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 bit.

　

 

 

Hello, this is Minato kid.

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

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

Let's visit the precious remain and monuments that tell you that there was Tsukiji foreign settlement in Meiji period here in Akashicho.

♪　Toysler Memorial Hall

In 1933 (1875), a missionary hall of St. Luke International Hospital was built on the banks of the Sumida River. J. Bergamini was also involved in the design of St. Luke's International Hospital. It is a two-story building made of reinforced concrete, partially wooden, and is a solid stately building reminiscent of a European mountain villa.
The exterior has a half-timber-style design that expresses pillars and beams, and the interior has a tuder-Gothic style, the entrance and living room, etc., with a solid wood interior. It was relocated and restored in 1998 and is now located in the courtyard of St. Luke's International Hospital.

♪　U.S.

In 1859 (1859), Harris, the first American minister, opened the American ministerial office in Zenpukuji, Minato-ku. Then, the following year, a new envoy was built on the Tsukiji foreign settlement, and the shape was adjusted here. It is said that it was a wooden two-story, cream-colored Western-style building.

In 1890 (1890), I moved to Akasaka, the current location of the American Embassy. On the site of the Tsukiji foreign settlement, there were five monuments made of Komatsu stone. A pattern symbolizing the United States is engraved on a stone about 1m square.
Two monuments are preserved in the courtyard of St. Luke's Garden, three in front of St. Luke's International Hospital courtyard and in front of the Toysler Memorial Hall.

♪　The ruins of Henry Falls residence

Henry Falls, a missionary physician of the Scotland Conforming Elders, lived here during his stay in Japan from 1874 (1874) to 19 (1886).
I was interested in the practice of fingerprinting in Japan and conducted scientific fingerprint research. In 1880 (1880), a paper submitted to the British magazine Neurea is said to be the world's first paper on scientific fingerprinting, in which he presented his personal identification experience of criminals and referred to the genetic relationship of fingerprints. Later, in 1911 (1911), the Japanese police adopted the fingerprint method for the first time.

♪　Monument on the banks of the Sumida River

１．Monument at the site of the Tsukiji Unjosho
In 1867 (1867), the Edo Shogunate designated the whole area of Akashicho, Tsukiji Gunsho, as a permanent residence for foreigners in Tsukiji, and established a luck office for customs duties. This is the beginning of Tokyo Customs.

２．Local monument founded by telegraph
In 1869 (1869), the construction of a telegraph line of about 32 km was started connecting the Yokohama Court and the transmission station office located in Tsukiji Unjo, Tokyo. Started operations in December of the same year. It was Japan's first public telecommunications and played a major role in Civilization and enlightenment.


♪　School monument


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

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

There is a small fountain in the waterway, and there is a pretty bridge that stretches in just a step.

This is an unnamed road, but it is a unique street that delights the walkers.
