Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　As you all know, there is a large population difference between day and night in Chuo-ku. However, the population of the ward is steadily increasing.

The latest data released every month exceeds 140,000.

　On the last Sunday of May, I visited the Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi) for the first time in a long time, and found the '12th Eco at Akatsuki Park nearby.

I encountered a festival and a flea market.

　

Akatsuki Park, famous for its Siebold bust, has a space where children can grow and play and play equipment.

It is a place where families can participate in the event with peace of mind. As an aside, I accidentally encountered the snow festival in February.

I did it.

　Many environmental perforations were exhibited under the theme of "Let's know" and "Let's do it, we can do it".

The central community bus "Edo Bus" also attracted children's interest with the catchphrase of sitting in the driver's seat.

The flea market held at the same time was also exhibited by young people, and it was lively and lively.

I asked Tenmonkan to recognize the old Chuo-ku, but I never expected to meet people who live now.

Tsukiji is a great success with domestic and foreign tourists every day, but the children I met at Akatsuki Park from St. Luke Street and Tsukiji River Park.

I was able to get a lot of 'ki' in the lively voice and movement.

Everybody went out and something.

Would you like to see it?

By the way, a flea market will be held in Hamacho Park in November.

The exhibition period has been low (until May 28), but at the Ota Memorial Museum, a museum specializing in Ukiyo-e.

The exhibition "Hiroshige and Kiyochika" is currently being held.

(The Ota Memorial Museum is located in Shibuya Ward, but it was an exhibition related to Chuo-ku, so I will introduce it.)

　

　Hiroshige and Kiyochika were born in samurai in the Edo and Meiji eras, and Kiyochika was influenced by Hiroshige.

I'll keep it.

　

　In his later years, Hiroshige's paintings, who lived in Kyobashi, can be seen everywhere when walking around the city of Chuo-ku.

"Nihonbashi" of 'Tokaido Gojusanji'--everyone has seen a picture of Feudal lord's procession and fish shops on the riverbank that depart early in the morning

I think there is something.

　When I was a child, it was commonly known as Hiroshige Ando, but the real name and the issue are strange, and now Hiroshige Utagawa (1797).

It is called ~ 1858). Kiyochika Kobayashi (1847-1915), the Kiyochika (Kiyochika), was called 'Hiroshige of the Meiji era'.

Yes. He was born in the head office and his tomb are also in Taito Ward, and there is nothing special to mention with Chuo-ku. However, he returned to Hiroshige

For this reason, we have left many scenery of Chuo-ku.

　

　It was a great success even on weekdays, but I was able to enjoy Japan's proud ukiyo-e.

　

Needless to say, I took a walk along the Sumida River the next day. In particular, wooden structures before turning into steel frames at the end of the Meiji era.

I imagined Shin-ohashi Bridge.

　

You can take a walk while comparing the Chuo-ku depicted in Ukiyo-e with the current Chuo-ku.

If you are interested, please go out.

Old map 

　

Current map

　

I have an old map at hand.　The old one on the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Map.

In his father's stiff character, "This map is valuable and has been kept in a safe place because it contains the old place name."

There is an appendix.

　Looking at the page of Chuo-ku, there is no notation of Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Sumida River Ohashi, and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge on the bridge over the Sumida River.

There is the Tsukuda River between Tsukishima and Tsukuda Island, and there is no Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, so "Tsukuda Shimanoto" and Tsukudacho and Minatomachi are dotted lines.

You can see Ginza Nishi, Higashi, Echizen digging, Honishi-cho, etc., which have disappeared now.

　

　The first festival in the city, Teppozu Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival, began on the 2nd. I wanted to take pictures of all the mikoshi participating in the festival.
I was invited by the weather to execute it for 2 days.

When I asked about the location that I couldn't find portable shrine in the dark clouds, the Minato Sanmachime sacred wine office wrote the town map red to Irifune, Shintomi and Akashicho. Thank you very much for your kindness.

　After that, I was able to completely conquer 14 locations from Ginza 8-chome in Ginza to portable shrine, the first town in Ginza in Kyobashi Park.

　

　

In the vicinity of Shimbashi Enbujo, I unexpectedly met the portable shrine line east of Ginza 6.7-chome, and in Ginza 4-chome, I received 'Seven Lucky Gods Aarare'.

　

　

On the way back, I made a famous macaron on the second floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, Ginza 4-chome as a souvenir. On Saturday, Chuo-ku, where the whirlpools, oldness and newness of each person mixed with customers and generations from overseas are alive. It was a day while tilting my heart to the people who lived in the old place name.

　

 

 

　A new year has begun, and annual events held in Chuo-ku are being held one after another.

I recently visited the Nihonbashi Festival, one of them, the 22nd Spring Festival. Despite the unfortunate rain, the cherry blossoms have calmed me even though the full bloom has passed. In particular, the splendid appearance of 35 famous old cars from the front yard of the main building of the Bank of Japan to Nihonbashi Bridge and Edo Sakura-dori St., combined with the old and new landscapes, was wonderful.

　

　

I think the people who come and go over Nihonbashi also felt more gorgeous than usual.

　

　Nevertheless, the highway above the bridge, even though the umbrella is replaced to protect famous cars from rain only on this day, the sky looks good on the bridge. I signed the Nihonbashi Scenic Reconstruction Movement under the bridge, saying, "Blue in Nihonbashi and Light in Nihonbashi River." When I answered the person in charge, "I live in another prefecture now, but my permanent residence is Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku," I was impressed that I had a smile more than thank you for signing.

　After this, I saw a long line of Anjin-dori = Tendon's 'Kaneko Hannosuke', which is now a famous shop, and crossed Showa-dori and walked back to Koami Shrine and Ningyocho.

　

　

On the way, I found a notice of Ningyocho "Hojinchokai Festival"!

It was written that there was a festival at Sugimori Shrine.

　

As you all know, Sugimori Shrine was a place where the Edo period lottery was held. There is also a "Tomizuka Monument" on the grounds to commemorate it.

　

It seems to be the first festival in three years, so please go out.

　

　I'm sorry, but the newcomer from this month is the wind on all sides. I would like to tell you about Chuo-ku, which is deeply thoughtful.

Thank you very much.
