Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　Recently, I've been busy with my personal affairs, and I've never been posting blog posts.　I received an e-mail from an American woman who took care of me last year, and at the end of May, I was invited to visit Tsukiji Market again this year.

　The meeting is at the entrance of Tsukiji Honganji. First of all, look at the auditorium and restroom time.

After that, we toured a little inside the newly built Tsukiji Uogashi building.

In addition, after a little bit of an out-of-market market, we will go to the in-market market.

The party then went from Tsukiji Market Station to Ryogoku Station. After lunch in both countries, they will see the sumo wrestling. I had a goodbye after seeing me off to Ryogoku Station.

From April 28, 2017 (Friday), the Geographical Survey Institute's web map "Geographical Institute Map" ^※Above, pre-war aerial photographs of the 23 wards of Tokyo around 1936 (Showa 11) have come to be seen overlaid with current maps and aerial photographs of each age.
　
The Geographical Survey Institute (GSI) has released 519 aerial photographs in the 23 wards of Tokyo (excluding a part of Setagaya-ku), which had been released on Friday, April 28 on a single-sheet basis on the Geographical Survey Institute site. Has been released from the Geographical Survey Institute Map so that the position does not shift from the current map. The aerial photograph to be released this time is the oldest aerial photograph owned by the Geographical Survey Institute and whose shooting time is known.
This is the first time that you can see such a large pre-war aerial photograph on a web map of Japan, and it is expected to be used in situations such as surveying old land and school education in the future.
In some cases, aerial photographs are painted in white or black, and there are parts where the situation is unknown, but this is derived from the original aerial photographs taken before the war.

　On April 26, the Yomiuri Shimbun Tokyo area reported about the rebuilding of the 47-year-old and aging Chuo-ku government office building. . In order to rebuild to the current address, it is necessary to move twice in conjunction with the relocation to the temporary government building, and the cost is high, so the plan to relocate to the current Brossam site is also influential. However, the current location is the historic site of the Tsukiji House of the Tosa Domain, and it is said that there are voices that will spare the relocation.

　According to Monoshiri Encyclopedia, "This area was the place where the Tosa clan Yamauchi family worshiped in 1826 (1826), and there was a clan residence here. It is said that the Yamauchi family used it as a Nakayashiki or Shimoyashiki. Toyoshige Yamanouchi, the 15th generation of feudal lord during the late Tokugawa shogunate period, is known to have led the Meiji Restoration along with Satsuma and Choshu. It is said that Sakamoto Ryoma, the Shishi of late Tokugawa shogunate, went to a dojo in Sadakichi Chiba while staying at this clan residence. There is an explanation board next to the annex of Chuo-ku government office. "It is said.
