The city is full of illuminations now.

 

There is also a cute tree illumination at Hakozaki Park near Suitengu Station (Exit 2).

 

On the ground, the convenience store on the right and the T-CAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal) on the left.

Above all, Hakozaki Junction boasts the highest rankings known to those who know it. Wow, it's always cool.

 

Along the convenience store, pass in front of the flower shop, and if you walk a little, you will see the Suitengu Pit in the corner of your left hand.

(Suitengu Pit was originally a high school school building and is now a stage performance place.)

And next to the Suitengu Pit is Hakozaki Park.

 

The illuminations of the tree are beautiful from the evening, but don't forget to see the statue of Shoin Yoshida.

This statue was born in 1937, when it was still Hakozaki Hirone Elementary School in Tokyo.

It was made by the will of a sixth grader girl who died of illness (depending on the origin board). 

By the way, a lot of carp streamers are swimming in the sky in May.

 

Nearby there is Takao Inari Shrine (which enshrines Dayu Takao), where enshrined deity is rare.

If you walk toward the Sumida River, you will find yourself in a grove near Toyomi Bridge.

You can read the information board of "Takao Inari Engi no Land" where the original company was located.

It can be seen that this was the place where the Bank of Japan was founded in the Meiji era.

 

If you cross the bridge, Eitai-dori St., the left hand is Monzennakacho, the right hand is Kayabacho, and the way back is preferable.

The story of Kayabacho Past and Present

[I want to see] 16:00 on October 4, 2015

Exit 8 of Kayabacho and go to the ground of a certain hall.

 

In the cab of the hall facing the street, there is a MAP of Kayabacho Konjaku.

One corner of the alley is Sanno Hie-jinja Shrine (auxiliary shrine) and the other.

The residence at the corner is Chisen-in, which is famous for its "near Yakushido hall in Minami Kayabacho".

The corner is Enomoto (later Takarai), a poet from the Edo period, whose representative works is "Echigo-ya Kinusaku sound and clothing (Koromogae)". There is also a stone monument of the site (died here).

 

By the way, what is the first MAP?

"I see! It means Kayabacho Konjaku MAP.

  

Old maps and current maps are arranged, and you can literally compare the present and the past, see changes after the Great Kanto Earthquake and subsequent changes, reconstruction after the war, and the bustle of Kayabacho.

 

Once you've finished reading this, let's go one step from the automatic door to the hall.

On the left cover, there is a watercolor painting of 100 views of Nihonbashi Kayaba-cho, and you can be healed just by looking at it.

 

And another place, there is a place (bank) that displays this hundred views!

Walk along the intersection of Kayabacho toward Hatchobori, and if you see the drugstore on the right side, it is the bank next to it.

It is also on display in this lobby to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the branch.

However, unfortunately, this is a bank, so you can only see it during business hours on business days.

However, there are places nearby selling postcards and Pochi bags for this watercolor painting.

(The types of watercolors include the Daiichi National Bank of Meiji period, the Tokyo Stock Exchange around 1945, and the Nisshokan.)

 

When I walk around Kayabacho, there are various discoveries.

Be sure to take a walk

 

 

Sake♪

[I want to see] August 13, 2015 18:00

In my father's days, sake was called "special sake, first-class sake, second-class sake", but it was called "special sake, first-class sake".

In the Heisei era, they have finally become memories of the past.

Nowadays, there are various kinds of sake, and I'm wondering what to choose.

honjozo, Ginjo, daiginjo, special, pure rice, etc. 

It's good news for those who think daiginjo looks delicious, but the price is ...

 

Why don't you go to Kochi antenna shop "Marugoto Kochi"?

 

Take Exit 3 of Ginza 1-chome Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and head toward the expressway.

"RYOMA-san" welcomes you at the corner.

 

When you go down the basement, you will find sake!

"What shall I do?"

 

Some of them are Daiginjo sake from Mr. Kuramoto, a family-run company, and they seem to be gentle on your wallet.

And most of all, the most enjoyable thing is the tasteta-Im

 

You can taste "Select Beauty Sake" of the shop.

A cup of 200 yenya from 12:00 noon to 19:00 at night (18:00 on Saturday)

There are also 3 cups plus tidbits (Today's tidbits) 650 yenya.

 

Of course, if you like it, you can buy that liquor and tidbits in the store.

Listen to the shop, talk with the tasters, and talk with each other.

I feel like a little drinking party.

 

A little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a way home from a business trip, a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a way home from shopping.

Oh~~~~~~

 

It's a fun place.

 

 

One of today!

[I want to see] July 27, 2015 14:00

It's a line that I heard somewhere, but it's like I've heard somewhere.

 

Time is "Meiji", a piece by Kiyochika Kobayashi, "Shipping Bridge Daiichi Bank (Yukinaka)".

 

Just imagine it.

 

On a snowy day, a woman walking toward the bridge.

An umbrella is placed on the red belt, and the umbrella is the letters of Ginza / Kishida.

On the right hand of the woman is a willow tree.

And on the left side of the bridge is the first "Daiichi National Bank", a splendid architecture of Japanese and Western eclectic.

 

By the way, the above-mentioned Daiichi National Bank is

It is said to be the highest peak in wooden frame stone and pseudo-Western style architecture designed and constructed by Shimizu Gumi Nidai Kisuke Shimizu.

Also, isn't the letter of Kishida Ginka Kishida's Rakuzendo (Medicine Seisui)?

  

However, today's leading role is actually the bridge of this Nishiki-e.

 

That said, as of the Heisei era, there is no longer this "sea shipping bridge" anymore.

Unfortunately, the Momijigawa River, which flows below, was reclaimed in 1962.

There are only two main pillars left.

 

When you enter Kabuto-cho from Showa-dori, you will find a parking lot underground and a highway on the ground.

It was engraved with "Kayunhashi" in a space that is too small to call it a square at the end of such a road.

The main pillars of Ishibashi exist quietly over time.

 

If you look to the right, you will find another one buried in the trees.

You can barely read "Create", "Five Years", and "Sea". (= June 2,535 BC)

 

Beyond the narrow road, the place at the time was changed, but the bank ...

 

On the wall of the lottery counter, there is a map of the Kaedegawa period.

From left to left, you can read the history of the building of the bank.

 

As we move forward,

At the end of the day is "Nisshokan" (Eiichi Shibusawa House in the Meiji era), and on the left is "Kabuto Shrine".

If you walk to the right, you can cross the "Armor Bridge" (it was a "armor handing" until 1872).

 

You can find a signboard on your left hand after crossing the armor bridge.

"Maison Kono no Nest", the first cafe in Tokyo)

 

 

One of today! And the story flowed.

I miss the old days (?) Why don't you enjoy a walk?
