"Chari Walk" along Nihonbashi River (1)

[Kenken] September 25, 2014 09:00

The other day, as a "boat sightseeing," I had a small cruise on the Nihonbashi River starting from Nihonbashi, returning from the Sumida River to the Kanda River and the Nihonbashi River to Nihonbashi.

 

The scenery seen from the water and the boat was certainly new and fun, but I thought, "Let's see various spots around the river", so after a long absence I took an "early walk"

The start of this day is from Toyomi Bridge. Toyomi Bashi.JPGThe shop you care about at the foot of the bridge is Mile Post (Shinkawa 1-29-6). A number of beautiful bicycles through the window. Yes, I'm worried. I'd like to ask you slowly next time.

It is said that the next Mile Post Cafe is currently closed. I would like to ask you when this is also reopened.

There is a little green on the left side of Toyomi Bridge across the Hakozakicho River. There was a notice here that there was a thing called Takao Inarisha (10-7, Nihonbashi-Hakozakicho). Now there is a small torii, worship hall, about 100 meters northwest of here.

Takao Jinja.JPGThe history of this shrine is ruined.

A prostitute named "Dayu Takao" tried to pile up a lot of money and make it his own (although the name is also specified in the guide of the shrine.)...As a result of rejecting the invitation, he was killed in the Sumida River and moved to Kawanaka. A few days later, a monk who had a hermitage nearby buried the body launched on the riverbank, and people who knew the background built the shrine and worshiped it. The stop is amazing that the body (skull) is worshiped as a god of worship.

 

Next is Minato Bridge. Rather than a photo of Minato Bridge itself, Toyomi Bridge, which also took pictures of Mizkan's large building from Minato Bridge, might be better.

Mitsukan and Toyomibashi.JPGOn the way to Kayaba Bridge, you will pass through the Kirin Nihonbashi Building (2-5 Nihonbashi Koamicho). It seems that there is a "Draft Masters School" here.

I'd like to go to Kirin Beer, but it seems to be for restaurants....(laughs).

In the opposite direction, there is also a big building of Pentel (7-2 Nihonbashi Koamicho). (I forgot to take a picture)

Well, it might be better for Pentel to say that it is under the next armor bridge than Kayaba Bridge.

When you cross the armor bridge, you will see a magnificent building of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in front of you.

From the viewpoint of the exchange, Kabuto Shrine (Nihonbashi Kabutocho 1-12) is located on the river side.

The building itself seems to be new in 1971, but the "Kabutoiwa" in the precincts dates back to the role of the previous nine years (1050), and the name of the town is also This rock It looks like a very deep shrine that was named after it.

When I came to the next Edobashi and the monument of "the birthplace of mail" in front of it, and the Nihonbashi Post Office with the statue of "Maejima Mitsu", this time is out of time.

Next time, let's start around Edobashi and Nihonbashi.
