This time, I would like to introduce "Fukumoto", which handles bags (bags and wallets) and bags, which also participates in the "Oedo wholesaler festival". Since Fukumoto opened in 1920 (1920), it has been a company that has been selling bags and bags for 95 years since then, mainly wholesale to department stores and specialty stores.

Fukumoto participates on Shindo-dori, and opens the headquarters building in the photo on the day, so that even amateurs can enter inside and purchase band bags and wallets at 4 discounts on the market price.

I happened to know this sale last year and bought a wallet and a daughter's bag. The headquarters building is within 5 minutes from Asakusabashi on the Sobu Line and Toei Asakusa Line, Bakurocho on the Sobu Express Line, and Bakuroyokoyama on the Toei Shinjuku Line.

If you are interested, it is only December 1st (Sun), so please go on this day.

On November 9th, I went to the town walking tour "The junction of the Sumida River on the tide".

It was a chilly day for November, but while listening to the explanation of members of the Chuo-ku Cultural Property Supporters Association, I walked around Tsukuda Island for an hour and a half-walking less than 6,000 steps.

The first thing I went to was Tsukuda Tendai guardian of children and travelers. In the middle of the narrow streets between ordinary private houses and private houses, there was guardian of children and travelers on a small site where only one person could enter. If there are no signs or banners in Yokocho, you will pass by at all. There is a fine ginkgo on the premises, but it is surprising that it is surrounded by the house.

 Pass through Tsukuda Namishi Inari Shrine, cross Tsukuda Kobashi, where one of the treasure chests of "Chuo-ku Treasure Hunting" was located, and crossed the square where "Tsukuda Island Bon Odori" venue, "Tsukuda Festival Ryutora / Kurokoma" arrived at the building where two large lion heads are displayed. It is a large lion head famous for being said to be auspicious when you touch the nose of this large lion head first at the Tsukuda Festival.

After looking at the octagonal portable shrine through the glass at Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, I went to the ruins of Ishikawajima Lighthouse.

From here, you can stroll along the terrace along the Sumida River. Mitsui Tower in Nihonbashi could be seen directly above the Kamejima Suimon on the opposite bank of the Sumida River. From here, it's a straight line to Nihonbashi.

Also, it did not pass today, but it was said that Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge has a place where Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree can be seen on the right and left.

After that, we went to the junction of the Sumida River, went along the Harumi Canal via Paris Square, and went to the site of the Kaisuikan, and broke up.

It seems that 15 people were scheduled to participate in the lottery today, but 6 people were canceled due to the cold weather. Certainly, it may have been about half a month to walk around here, but I was able to take a leisurely stroll while watching the Sumida River. Why don't you choose a sunny day and walk?
