Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
When you hear the Tohoku region, do you think of any relevance to Chuo-ku?
After all, many people think of Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city.
This time, apart from Higashine City, we will introduce places related to the historic sites of Chuo-ku that I found when visiting the Tohoku region.

[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture x Tsukuda] Kaikaikan
Kaikaikan, a Kappo cuisine inn where cultural figures from the Meiji and Taisho eras stayed.
It was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and now only information boards remain in Tsukuda.
In fact, the building of this ryokan was relocated from Sendai City.
At that time, it was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay.
It is said that Toson Shimazaki, Kaoru Osanai, Mokutaro Kinoshita, Rofu Miki, Isamu Yoshii, Manjiro Kubota, Yumeji Takehisa, and Ginnosuke Nisutsu also visited.

[Yamagata Prefecture x Nihonbashi Honmachi] Mt. Haguro
At the beginning of the Edo period, the benevolent bamboo became the lower daughter of the Sakuma family in Otemmacho.
One day, the conductor of Mt. Haguro in Dewa told him that he was an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai.
Later, it is said that many people in the city who heard the story came to worship.



There is a stone monument called "Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido Ruins" at the site of the well she used now.

[Nakoso, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture x Nihonbashikabutocho] Yoshiie Minamotono
During the Heian period, Yoshiie Minamotono headed for the attack on Oshu, suffered a storm near the current armor bridge.
When I threw a piece of armor into the sea and prayed to Ryujin, I was able to cross safely.


(Currently, there is an information board for the remains of armor.)

You can see the Yoshiya appearing here at Nakoso Seki and Nakoso Station in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.

On the monument at Nakoso no Seki, it is engraved that "the Heian period is nearing the end of the Gosannen War, the Mutsu Mamoru Genyoshi will go here on the way down to Oshu for its peace."
Then, just as we approached Nakoso, Yoshie stopped pieces and wrote such a phrase on the cherry blossoms flying on the warlord's iron clothing as if we had the spring to go.
"Is yamazakura?" ("Senjo Wakashu")
Bulse: It's Nakoso's Seki, named "I'm coming," so I don't think there's a blowing wind, but yamazakura's flowers are scattered enough to block the road.

Some of the historical sites in Chuo-ku are linked to Tohoku and all over the country.
You can also think about history by connecting historical sites while traveling.
And when I find a connection with my hometown, I'm sure it's not the only one who makes it even more fun to see historic sites.

There are some signboards that are not very noticeable and tend to spend time.
When walking around the town, be sure to check the information boards of these historic sites.
