Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The watercolor exhibition introduced on this blog on February 23 will be held at "Gallery Kubota" in Kyobashi from Monday, February 25 to March 3 (Sun). This is the preparation status (February 24).　"Gallery Kubota": It's just across the street opposite Meijiya.

I think it's already late when this blog is posted, but it's near the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center, so I'd like you to come and see it. On the 24th, Chairman Igarashi (right) of Japan Pen Aya Painting Society and Director Oga were also visible.

　

　　

　　

 

 

This is an introduction of an exhibition that also serves as an advertisement.　After retirement, I draw watercolors using pens as a hobby.　I go out to the suburbs of Tokyo once a month with less than 20 people, and once a year I have an exhibition of everyone at the gallery in Kyobashi.

　

This is a gallery near "Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center" (@ Kyobashi Edgran). Please take a peek at the foot that has stopped by the center.　The event will be held from Monday, February 25 to March 3 (Sun).

　

　

 

 

Happy New Year. On January 3, I went to support the annual Hakone Ekiden and return route. Every year we support in front of Mitsukoshi. It was full of people who supported me again this year. Aoyama Gakuin University was desperately pursuing Tokai University, but in front of Mitsukoshi, Tokai University won the victory. I was watching until the end, but the TOP Group's running seemed to be tired at all. The figure of the player is also blurred in the picture. After that, he visited Fukutoku Shrine for the first time. There was also a line here. I have been praying for a safe and healthy year at home.

 

 

The other day, the Chuo-ku Tourism Association announced that it was recruiting a "Sewerage Infrastructure Tour", and since it was elected, I participated with my wife on December 14. Meet at Tachikawa Station on the day. 21 participants and the public relations staff of the Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau also traveled by bus. Go to Kitatama No. 2 Water Reclamation Center in Mazu Kunitachi City, go down about 11m by elevator and walk along the tunnel (about 1km) where communication pipes are laid to see the Asakawa Water Reclamation Center. Attach a pamphlet from the center and a photo of the tunnel on the day. It is said that the diameter is 3.5m after construction using machines used for subway construction and tunnel excavation.

　　

　

This is the director of the center who explained it.　

　

The tunnel passes under the Tama River. The pipes on the left and right of the tunnel are connected to both water reclamation centers so that sewage can be sent to each other (backup when one is damaged). At the Asakawa Water Reclamation Center, we received an explanation of sewage treatment and saw the actual treatment equipment. In the facility, there is no odor, and it is confirmed that the sewage becomes clear water. It was really beautiful. It is released into the river in that state.

This is a photo of the lid of the sewage manhole. The real thing is not colored, but the pink cherry blossoms, yellow ginkgo leaves, and the surrounding area are represented by a black Yurikamome. (Everyone is a symbol of the city?)

　

I didn't notice until now, but if you walk with caution, you can see this manhole everywhere.

After that, we moved by bus and observed the construction of a huge reservoir currently under construction. "Second Tagara River Trunk Line Part 2 Construction" Walk 18m and see a huge tunnel under construction. 40,000 cubic meters of rice (how many cups of 25m pool?) It is said that there is a water storage capacity. Please take a look at the photo. Concrete segments and steel segments are used properly, and curves and other areas are made of steel and finished with concrete later. Drilling work is underway at the end of this tunnel. The rails are used for trolleys to carry out excavated soil.

　

　

　

Both the Water Reclamation Center and the Tagara River Main Line are major civil engineering work. However, it is easy to study if you visit facilities for sewage treatment and flood control that are not very familiar in this way. The participant's throat was mentioned, but it was an "adult social studies tour". I hope you will join us once if you have the opportunity. The next time is January 12, but the number of applications seems to be four times. It seems that it was double this time.

 

 

I went to see Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reisai Festival (Tsukuda Festival) in Tsukuda. This year, it is held at the main festival from August 3 to 6. The lanterns of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine were protected to enter the palace of portable shrine.　

　

I was able to see the octagonal portable shrine nearby.

　

　

　

The lion's head was also displayed. After that, I stopped by Tianan and bought Tsukudani.

The right of the eel is clam tsukudani on the left. I'll have it with hot rice tonight.

　

　

　

　　　

After a long time, I saw the Tsukuda Festival and the city of Tsukuda. There was still a remnants of the good old days in the alley. It was a hot day festival.　

　

 

 

Inspired by a correspondent's blog, "Sam"'s Hamarikyu Garden "Yaeguro Ryuto" departed on April 14 and "Jimney" departed on April 15, inspired by a correspondent's blog, and "Jimney" departed on April 15. ☆I saw cricket "Wisteria at Tsukiji River Kameibashi Park" on April 16th.

Both were blooming beautifully. I saw Yae no Fuji for the first time. It was a very large flower. I heard that wisteria flowers bloom from May to June, but this year the cherry blossoms bloomed early, so is the wisteria flowers bloom early?　Do you want to see the cherry blossoms? ？ ？
