Nihonbashi Festival

[Wind in all directions] April 7, 2016 09:00

 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".

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.
