■From May 25 (Monday), a 50m pedestrian paradise in Nihonbashi started on a trial basis from 11am to 8pm.

If there is no problem after conducting it for a few months, it seems that it will continue as it is.

The location of the pedestrian paradise is the road between "Cored Muromachi" and "Cored Muromachi 2". It is a section that also serves as the approach to Fukutoku Shrine.

 

 

■On May 16 (Saturday), we participated in the “NPO Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association” “Kawakaze and Music Evening” (sponsored by Chuo-ku, Chuo-ku Tourism Association).

□The ship is Asakusabashi / Miuraya "Ikijinmaru" (conducting houseboat Tokyo Cooperative).

"Ikijinmaru", which can pass under a low bridge girder at high tide, has arrived at Nihonbashi Pier.

□DR.Ozawa plays cornets and others.

When passing under the bridge, the sound echoed was more wonderful.

 

□He listened not only to musical instruments but also to singing voices.

 

□The course departs from the Nihonbashi Pier. Sumida River from Nihonbashi River. U-turn in front of Basho-an Historic Site Observation Garden at the mouth of the Onagi River. Returning off the coast of Tsukuda, going up the Nihonbashi River, U-turn in front of Jobanbashi, an hour course to Nihonbashi Pier.

 

□People who were eating on the terrace facing the waterside around Nihonbashi were able to wave their hands with a smile.

 

■While the wind on the river surface at dusk was comfortable, the instruments such as cornets played by DR.Ozawa and the bitter singing voice made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

The fact that I realized the splendor of Edo and Tokyo, the capital of water, was reflected in the smiles of the participants when descending the ship.

 

 

 

■I happened to see the "2015 Fire Fighting Pageant" held on Sunday, May 24 being held near the Harumi Passenger Terminal on the 16th (Sat).

　

 □Fire boats

A few fire boats were gathered.

　

□Water discharge

 The practice of running water discharge has begun.

 

□Water discharge of colored water

 There was also a practice to carry out water discharge with colored water.

The weather is not good today, and the color is not good in the image, but I was able to see a beautiful color with the naked eye.

If the day is fine on the 24th, you will be able to see a wonderful sight.

 

   

■The "Firefighting Pageant of Water" will be held on the 24th (Sun) from 10:30 to 11:45 (planned) at L quay (in front of Harumi Passenger Terminal) at 5-7 Harumi, Chuo-ku. Please come and visit the venue.

 

 

■I was invited cheerfully and strolled around Muromachi in spring.

□Magnolia kobus, a street tree starting from 3-chome Muromachi, was in full bloom.

 

 

　

□A large yellow tulip in the flower bed at the corner of the intersection was swaying in the wind.

 

　

□The buildings in the redevelopment area at the corner of Muromachi 3-chome have begun demolition work.

 

　

■You can meet in a small spring in various places in the city.

 

 

■The Ueno Tokyo Line is finally open on March 14 (although the Hokuriku Shinkansen).

I think there will be more new customers in Chuo-ku, such as Nihonbashi and Ginza.

Tokyo Station is not in Chuo-ku, but I visited the site two days before opening.

 

□JR brochure.

　

□Timetable during construction of the central passage.

　

□Information display of stairs to platform 7.8 where the train going north comes.

　

□View from the north end of platform 7.8.

　

□A track that curves continuously and a track that goes up to an overpass.

　

□Information display on platform 7.

　

□Information display on Platform 8 where you can easily read characters under the seal.

□The upper sticker part of the `` Shinagawa / Yokohama / Odawara / Atami area '' on the information display of Platforms 7 and 8 is `` Ueno / Omiya / Utsunomiya / Takasaki / Mito area limited express '', and the upper part of the `` Tokaido Line '' The seal part was "Ueno Tokyo Line (Utsunomiya / Takasaki / Joban Line)".

　

□Information on stairs to platform 9/10 where the train going south comes.

　

□9.10.

　

□Information display for Platforms 9 and 10.

□There was "(Ueno Tokyo Line)" at the sticker below the information display "Tokaido Line" on platform 9 and 10.

■There were only a few places with stickers, but I realized that it would be difficult to fix all the information signs on the station premises the eve (probably) before opening.

 

 

■The first day festival is the festival of Inari Shrine held on the first afternoon of February. This year, February 11 was the first noon. The second afternoon festival is February twenty-third. During that time, I came to Inari in Ginza.

■Ginza 1-chome, Ko Inari Shrine
I was surprised that the location of the shrine had changed from before. Because it was located a little from Namiki-dori St., an information board was installed on Namiki-dori St.

■Ginza 3-chome Asahi Inari Shrine
This time, I also visited main hall on the roof of the Ohiro Asahi Building. During the shooting, there were two people visiting the worship hall on the first floor of the building.

■Ginza 3-chome, Hoju Inari Shrine
I was glad that there was a lantern that flourished during the Edo period (jiguchi: a folk proverb, slang, etc., with another word similar to the same sound or voice, expressing a different meaning). There were some people who came here too.

■Ginza 4-chome, Hodo Inari Shrine
The offer was supposed to be placed in the mailbox of the "Japanese syllabary" (pencil museum) on the opposite side of Inari if offertory box was not placed.

■Azuma Inari Shrine, Ginza 5-chome
The shrine is located in Miharakoji, where the atmosphere is good. There were some people who came here too.

■I photographed at the five Inari Shrines from noon on weekdays to about 2 o'clock. There were a total of four people visiting at the time of shooting. I was able to understand that Inari is rooted in the community.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　           　　　　　　　　　　　　Above
