Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　Blessed with good weather for the first time in a long time, I participated in a tour of "Chuo-ku's boat cruise and Nihonbashi Long-established Tour" from Nihonbashi Pier.

The lion of Nihonbashi is the guardian of the capital Tokyo. There are four north-south corners and pillars in the middle of the two arches, a lion head of 4 × 6 and a bridge, respectively.

So how many lions are there?　Lion = 16!　

The correct answer is 32.　　　And in the center of the balustrade of the bridge, Kirin has two wings and two branched corners. He said he hoped for a great leap in Tokyo. It's a wonderful figure.

The cruise has begun. Scent of river wind and tide in pleasant ship shaking.

 

Well, what is the illusion of the eyes?

Large giraffes in Tsukishima's warehouses

　　

 It seems to be a cafe that uses a warehouse. Let's go out next time by train with a little child.

 It doesn't work, but it's as big as the real thing. 2 corners

　When I looked at the real giraffe at the zoo, I remembered that there were two or three corners and the stripes were different one by one. They actually have five horns

 

　The trace of the fun cruising goes around the long-established store, after tasting and shopping, and says, "Today the distance is long but I do not walk 10,000 steps a day."

 

　Well, at the corner of Yaesu Street

This is the crown giraffe as you all know. The crown shines at night.

 

　The number of steps taken at home today is 10,506 steps.

　There was a single corner of Kirin in the refrigerator.

It was a fun day.

 

 

　"It's been a long time!　How are you?"

I met Mr. Old Rose, an acquaintance, in a conference room in a skyscraper building at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.

She is Fresh Woman, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. (I'm sophmore!?) ）

On the day of the event, there was a lecture of the boating guide workshop.

　　

The lecturer is a teacher of the NPO "Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association".

　

From the Nihonbashi dock, go down the Nihonbashi River to the Sumida River. Look at Eitai Bridge poorly, go a little back up the Sumida River, and go upstream from Yanagibashi to Kanda River.

Then cross the Ochanomizu Valley, enter the Nihonbashi River again in front of Iidabashi, and return to the Nihonbashi Pier. ～

　

　The course time is one and a half hours. There was a break on the way, but the flowing commentary seemed like I was on a boat.

　

　Two days later, I got on a boat from Nihonbashi Pier on a hands-on experience. Mr. Old Rose and I have one flight.

 

　After boarding, wear a life jacket. My heart is excited.

　The teacher at the time of the classroom is the guide. It was a beautiful commentary on the desk, but the actual boat is quiet without noise in the city. The sound of the ship and the sound of the waves

The voice of the guide was a pleasant rhythm, and it was 1 hour and 20 minutes in no time.

　From the fact that Komura of Musashi Country became a world town that is strong in defense called "Edo Castle Sosei", and after the Meiji Restoration until the early Meiji era

It is clear that the mainstream of logistics was boat transportation.

　It's not a gondola, so it doesn't shake. If it starts to rain on the way, a white rain feather (!?) Will be distributed to everyone and will not get wet.

 There are many rivers and diggings in Tokyo, such as the Kamejima River, Onagi River, and Tate River, and it's like Venice! ?　I didn't know it.

　

　Tokyo, seen from the river, is a view that cannot be seen in everyday life.

　Looking at the passing of the Shinkansen, Shohei Bridge near Akihabara.

Look at the red brick marchecut to the left and see the stone wall of outer moat Edo Castle. And Nihonbashi.

　

　I had a relaxing time.

　

　After disembarking, we have lunch with Mr. Old Rose. I waited a little side by side outside the tempura meal "Kaneko Hannosuke", but as soon as I was talking about the boating guide, my turn came.

Freshly fried tempura and all-you-can-eat squid, kinpira, and pickled chopsticks. The volume and taste are perfect. It was a shop worthy of line. Another sister store I went to after dinner. It was a long line.

　

At the entrance of the Mitsukoshi Main Store, we greeted the robot Pepper, and after purchasing a cute Pochi bag and Japanese paper tape with the newly renovated Japanese paper "Haibara", I returned home with a silver brush.
