Today (February 3), the day of Setsubun, I participated in the 11th Chuo-ku Tourism Test. It was a warm day of the week. I took the 7th and 8th exams, but I was thinking about stopping it anymore, and recently I'm busy, but I've never taken the exam after a long absence.
This test should be used as an opportunity to carefully read "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" for several days a year while walking around the city while being interested in history, etc., and should continue to take it every year if possible. Will be.
I've been taking the exam for the first time in a long time, but I felt that the questions were well devised. There are some small parts to say that it is fine, but should you think that it is necessary to walk around the ward on a daily basis and pay attention to the details and read the text carefully?
For example, the question of photography problems. It is 42, but indeed, this photo is listed on page 3 of the text as "Edo Sakura-dori St.". However, there is also a photo of "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St." just above, so it is quite difficult to distinguish the building that serves as a landmark, and it is impossible to distinguish it only by photographs. I answered "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St.."
However, if I walked through this area, I would have been able to easily find the correct answer in the part of the question sentence "I photographed the road from Nihonbashi Honishi-cho to Nihonbashi Honmachi". The map of "Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Area" on page 192 of the text clearly shows "Edo Sakura-dori St." and "Sakura-dori St.".
