Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

It's wind on all sides.

　

I wanted to walk around Ginza because I didn't have any intention, so I walked from 1-chome to 8-chome with GINZAMAP (Ginza Subway Entrance Guide Map).

　

Because what I brought was the 2015 edition, the number of red pen writing on the map increased while watching the number of changes such as buildings to be renovated, new stores, and relocation of stores. The site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Blue Market and the monument of the birthplace of Edo Kabuki are under construction, and the Okuno Building will be renovated until the end of January.

Ginza is a city that advances the times, and this change is Ginza's GINZA.

　

However, the alleyway that passes Hodo Inari from Matsuya-dori to the back of Tensho-do, and from Kojunsha-dori, the alley that opens and closes several coffee shops automatic doors and passes through Toyo Iwaine cargo, and the extreme is the daytime dark alley of Kinharukoji, It is still unrelated to the hustle and bustle. I'll post photos of day and night.

　

Christmas season is gorgeous all day long. Everyone, please walk around Ginza. There may be Ginza that will disappear in the age of next year.

　On September 17, an event was held around Nihonbashi, where I served as a guide, as the typhoon hit the Japanese Islands in a row and the weather continued unseasonable day. Contrary to the forecast on this day, there were clouds, but the weather was fine and three hours passed quickly. The highlight of the event is "Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store", which was designated as an Important Cultural Property this year.

　

The name guide of the female manager known to the people in the know began with the history of Mitsukoshi, a memorable day from those who participated in a series of things they did not know, such as pipe organ performances, the scenery of the large hall with a blowout, fossils of huge ammonites, etc. I told you. Why don't you go to the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, which has been designated as an Important Cultural Property again?

Note) In-store tours are available on the second Saturday of every month from 11:30 to 14:30 to 2 times free of charge Lion Entrance Information Center

　

This time, I would like to introduce "Nihonbashimurocho Honen Manpuku" who was used as a lunch place for this event.

　

　Did the storehouse built facing the Nihonbashi River use the motif of the storehouses on the fish shore that were in the land of the river? The atmosphere is good from the entrance and the mood is uplifting.

We went up to the second floor and had lunch on the terrace seat along the river. There was a giboshi on the stairs. I'm sure.

Combined with a cruising boat traveling around the river, it was a meal while enjoying the Nihonbashi brand.

　

Word of mouth information is often used to know the shop. In Chuo-ku, information from correspondent blogs will be added further.

When I decided on a lunch place, I was worried about where to set a restaurant that would accept a large number of 20 people on Saturday, but Mr. Manfuku Toyoto was introduced.　The event on this day broke up after meals.

I tried an interview to recover the inferior students provided by blogs on a daily basis. The interview is on the first floor with impressive oriental lamp-style lighting.

　

　And I was surprised.　The manager came to a seat and started talking, "I have a study session today."

　

When I heard the story, it was called "Honen Manfuku Juku" once a month, and a study session was held with 30 people with instructors for each theme, and this is the 32nd time this time.　In addition, once every three months, irregularly, 100 people gather from 7:30 am to 1 o'clock in the morning to hold a study session while making food using seasonal ingredients from all over the country. This was implemented 12 times, and the next time it was considered for the end of the year.

　

It seems that he is working with an organization based in Nihonbashi.

Before I asked, "What is a popular menu?", I decided to ask about the aspirations of the shop.

　

Manfuku Toyoto aims to be a restaurant that transmits cultural information through Japanese food while using not only some long-established ingredients in Nihonbashi but also ingredients that are thoughtful from producers nationwide.

From 7:30 in the early morning to 100 people, including those before commuting, can't help but feel a passionate feeling. Inside the store, there is also a corner where you can sell natural fermented products (soy sauce, miso, etc.) and long-established products from Nihonbashi.　

　

The shop is open from 11:30.

　

It was a shop that hoped that Nihonbashi, the starting point of Gokaido and the starting point of Asia Highway, will continue to send a lot of news.

　It's wind on all sides.

Posting for the second year of correspondent will begin with the topic of the Nihonbashi Festival just like last year.

　Fortunately, the cherry blossoms that have been enjoyed for a long time since the flowering declaration were in full bloom, and the 23rd spring famous bridge "Nihonbashi" festival was held on the 3rd.

Unfortunately, it was raining like last year. The highway has played the role of an umbrella again.

Today's Ishibashi celebrates its 105th anniversary and is not only a symbol of Chuo-ku, but also literally the origin of Japanese bridges, and it is about 140,000 km to Turkey.

It is also the original sign of the Asia Highway that extends to Japan.

In line with the festival, Hashigami, where cars come and go on a daily basis, was closed, and I was able to see the "Japan Road Mark" plate below.

As an event of this day, where famous cars of the past ran on many roads and accumulated history, the gathering on the bridge greatly excites the place.

Thank you very much. (From 9 o'clock, the entire company is lined up under the cherry blossoms at Edo Sakura-dori St. in front of the main building of the Bank of Japan, and the red Porsche, which was the car of the late Ken Takakura's favorite car.

It was one of them.

The bridge spans the river. Nihonbashi docks have been built on the Nihonbashi River, and the number of people enjoying cruising is increasing. I, too, last year

He was one of the people who enjoyed the fun.

Mr. Nakamura, Chairman of the Nihonbashi Preservation Society, also talked about the opening of the festival, but on March 30, the number of users reached 300,000.

That's right. Looking at Nihonbashi from the ship may be a step toward increasing the number of supporters approaching the realization of "blue sky in Nihonbashi and light in Nihonbashi River".

　Muromachi Sakura Festival street decoration

Chuo-ku is said to be a waterside city. In the ward where there is no difference in height, there are still rivers,

It was the Nihonbashi Festival that I wanted to take a walk again, imagining those that existed not only for bridges but also for them.

　　　　The scenery is wonderful. Please enjoy the cherry blossoms before the construction.

 

 

 

　It's wind on all sides.

It will be my first post in a long time. Half a month has passed at the earliest. As a personal matter, this month is the birth month, so I will get one year old early in the new year.

　

By the way, my town walk in Chuo-ku began on January 5 with the first visit to Tsukiji, which was the last year of this year, and a visit to Suitengu, which was full of first dogs on the day.

The article at the beginning of the year was not the 5th, but the cold bathing tournament (Kannaka Misogi), the ultimate event of the New Year in Chuo-ku, held on January 10 at Tepposhu, not on the 5th.

I will write it. This year, the 61st time since 1955, it was held at the adjacent gunpow park instead of the shrine grounds for shrine renovation work.

　This year is said to be a warm winter, but the day was also blessed with fine weather, and it seems that it was quicker to melt the large icicicles in advance in the aquarium.

During the cold bathing is an event to pray for sound health by bathing in cold water in front of the shrine. Not only those who are actually bathing, but also those who are watching.

I wished you.

　Following the greetings of the Chairman of the shrine parishioner Association, Miyaji Tepposhu Shrine, and Mayor of Chuo-ku, the progress of the day was prepared as a preparatory exercise under the guidance of Itabashi Hikawa Shrine.

It started with running around the shrine.　Along with a waka that sings along with the gesture of crumbling the boat, "When pulling" Aetsu "

It echoed strongly in the blue sky of the New Year. After this, we completed some events that dispel the evils below the soul, and performed a deep breath operation called Kibuki.

Finally, the cold misogi started with the shout of "A!" Hold your hands up and down as if wrapping your egg in front of your chest, and look forward without closing your eyes.

It was chanted as "Araito Okami, Araito Okami". Many participants were divided into two groups, but the participation of young women and foreigners was impressive.

It's left. At the end of the bath, the first movement was repeated, and the event ended.

 

　It was a day when I was able to witness traditional events and get energy.

　　

　

　　

 

 

　It's wind on all sides.

In the midsummer, I have posted for the first time in a long time since I made an article about the town walking tour "Asahi Shimbun Tour".

　In September, we will talk about "Hamarikyu Onshi Garden", which is written by some correspondents.

When unraveling the history of Chuo-ku, it is impossible to surpass the 270 years of Tokugawa period after Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo.

Hamarikyu was originally the residence of Matsudaira Tsunashige, a brother of the fifth shogun Tsunayoshi, and was in Tsunayoshi.

Since there was no succession and Tsunashige died earlier, his child, Tsunataka, became the sixth general (name changed to Ienori).

The name has also been promoted from the mansion to the palace. Even though it is a garden, it is used for falconry, and the 11th generation family Yoshichiko is the 12th generation family.

He seems to have been hunting many times.

　The site of about 500m square (approximately 76,000 tsubo) is from Edo to Meiji Taisho Showa and Heisei to become a park.

I did it. In the meantime, it seems that there was a danger of natural disasters and turning into a fish market, but now there is a danger of changing to a fish market.

It is one of the important cultural properties of the city and a special historic site of the country.

(Address display is also Zubari, Chuo-ku, 1-1 Hamarikyu Garden)

　It is a peaceful garden with a pond that allows you to enjoy flowers throughout the four seasons and draws in seawater.

However, sometimes it was a naval base in Edo shogunate. I've noticed this lately.

　The other day, a crew from the Nihonbashi River to the Sumida River Asashio Canal and the Kamejima River was organized by the NPO Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association.

I participated in the meeting. The Sumida River, which branches off from Arakawa, ends at Tsukiji Market. From there, it will be Tokyo Bay.

A few hundred meters from Takeshiba Pier are lined with embankments, and Hamarikyu is inside it. Ships enter and exit at the Tsukiji River sluice gate.

It is tasteful to sound a whistle to inform you of safety. There is also a water bus, but there is a dock from Tsukiji.

There is not enough stone walls along the sea. This time, the ship steered and proceeded to the left of the cove (Fujimiyama in the garden)

(Direction) I was able to see the stone wall well.

　It's called Edo Sosei. The stone walls on the ground of the garden do not match the garden enclosure, but they also mean as castle.

Isn't it coincidence?

　When you change your perspective, you can see something new. Chuo-ku, where oldness and newness coexist, will continue to be various.

I would like to introduce it from an angle.

 

 

　Awesome days continue. It's a full-fledged summer. As if I had been waiting for it

From July, the Chuo-ku Tourism Association's annual “Town Walking Tour” has started.

This event is an opportunity for as many people as possible to know the charms that Chuo-ku has a lot.

It looks like it is. However, I have heard that it is difficult to do so without going through a high magnification competition.

 　

　Luckily, there are a total of 13 children and Tsukiji, from the upper 80s to the lower 1-digit children.

I participated in the Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Head Office as one of the leaders entitled 'Until the Newspaper is completed'.

　Move in an air-conditioned room, guide the commentator well, just printed (actually moist)

A tour of about 2 hours with a number of souvenirs, including the evening edition of the day.

It was enough to ask a few questions about being a leader.　

　

　I am not currently living in Tokyo. I lived in Tokyo until 1960.

At that time, there were several newspaper companies in Yurakucho.

I told the guide that there was a characteristic landscape.

　I think there are some people who remember it.

It's a flock of pigeons flying over the building.

At that time, a bishore pigeon sent an article about the reporter to the company.

According to today's explanation, one reporter brought at least three pigeons.

I'm surprised. It might be a good idea to imagine a pigeon flying over Marion.

　

　In addition, on this tour, you can enjoy the view from the 16th floor, the top floor of the head office building, as a privilege.

I was able to do it.

　Tsukiji Market, Hamarikyu Intestinal Garden below, and if you raise your eyes, Harumi High-rise Condominium and Rainbow

I was able to see bridges, etc. On this day, Tsukiji Market, which will move to Toyosu in November next year.

The news told me that the countdown started.

　As I remembered the old pigeons in Yurakucho, several children looked at Tsukiji Market on this day.

You may get used to it someday.

　

　I was able to take this opportunity while helping the tourist association.

Why don't you try a correspondent from next year and touch a lot of new Chuo-ku?
