On New Year's Day, I went around Nihonbashi "Seven Lucky Gods". Perhaps the nature of the land, the gods of performing arts, business, fortune, and school work are in line. The biggest crowd is Suitengu. January 1 The Dog's Day and the birth rush overlap, and it seems to be very crowded. We visited the four companies that prefer elderly people.

On the left ↓ The photo shows Koami Shrine, which was enshrined about 550 years ago at the headquarters of protection against misfortune for good luck, and on the right ↓ The Chanogi Shrine, which is said to be the god of fire because there was no fire in nearby towns.

The left ↓ is "Suehiro Shrine", which has been worshiped for 400 years as a god who gives luck and avoids disasters, and the right ↓ is "Kasama Inari Shrine" Tokyo Bessha, longevity (Kotobuki Oigami), guidance, good luck God.

Last year 2018 was the year when a catastrophe struck, but what about this year? On New Year's Day, we met Yurikamome on the calm Sumida River, and at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, light was shining under the blue sky. According to the temple's manners, I visited the shrine for the first time and received a card of New Year's book [Hikari], General Manager Yasunaga.

Head to "Namishi Inari Shrine" outside Tsukiji. A god that protects the Tsukiji area as a wave-removal Inari, founded about 350 years ago, which was difficult to reclaim the entire Tsukiji area. It was a long line. It is a 15-minute walk from the Sumida River Terrace from here, founded in the Heian period, and is the god of the Kyobashi district, Gunsu Shrine. At the Asama Shrine subsidiary shrine in Fujizuka, which was said to have been a place of worship for Fuji in Edo (right ↓).

About 90 years since it was built with land as the fourth land of Tsukishima....Harumi's history has created a period of growth in Japan and has been at the forefront. For many years, Ginza and Tsukiji were places of work, but Harumi was in a distant view. Today is Koharu weather. Explore [Harumi], which was named after "Always being a town overlooking the clear sea." ↑ From Asashio Ohashi Hashigami, see the Asashio Canal in the direction of Tokyo Bay. The right bank is the scenery of Tsukishima, Kachidoki, and Toyomi-cho, behind Tsukuda Suimon, Tsukuda's cityscape, Aioi Bridge. Well, the left bank area is [Harumi].

[Transformation of Harumi] Completed construction of Harumi housing complex in 1955. Completed Harumi Wharf and passenger ship terminal in 1959 (to be abolished and dismantled).

After the tournament, it seems that the company plans to renovate it into rental and condominiums and build a new super-high-rise house. ↑ The scenery of the construction site is from the 2 Harumi 5-chome intersection and the passenger ship terminal.

[Walking along the canal along the 8-bridge cherry blossom promenade]　　About 2.5 km from Asashio Ohashi to Reimei Ohashi...It seems to be the Canal Renaissance Promotion Area (including Tsukishima and Shintsuki Shimakawa). ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Please go down the “Asashio Ohashi completed in 1989” and pass the Harumi Junior High School Sidewalk to see a cherry blossom promenade....From the north, "Asashiobashi" ...

On October 6, the Tsukiji Market ended its 83-year history. On the 7th of the following day, the “approximately 23ha Tsukiji Hall” is moving from the observation lobby of the Caretta Shiodome Dentsu Headquarters Building....Completed in 2015, the "Tsukiji Ohashi Bridge" where the relocation work vehicle finally comes to go....In the photo, I saw "40.7ha Toyosu Market" on the opposite side of the Sumida River, which will open from October 11 (about 900 businesses).

　

　

October 7 Outside Tsukiji Temple!　　An esophagus music town lined with about 400 stores...　Today it is crowded with tourists because of the weather, consecutive holidays, and relocation inside the venue. See the website of Tsukiji Outer Market! That's right.

The Kofunecho Tenno Festival was held from September 13 to September 15. When I was in elementary school, my father's parents' house was a big portable shrine! I was surprised by the bustle of the streets and neighborhoods. News that the population of Chuo-ku this year exceeds 160,000 for the first time in 59 years. However, as commercial buildings have progressed, it seems that population growth is not expected here in Kobuna-cho. Officers of the festival ... "The vitality of the area is getting weaker, there are few local bearers."...You look lonely....It's Cultural Heritage that lasts 340 years~

　

The origin of the Kofunecho Tenno Festival ... This year is the first festival in five years.

One of the three major festivals in Edo, along with the Kanda festival Sanno Festival. Three shrines on the grounds of Kanda Myojin, which was regarded as the guardian angel of Edo, began to be entrusted to the town of village headman in 1616 by the Shogunate, and the Tenno Festival was inherited 340 years ago by Kodemmacho.

The Kobunamachi Tenno Festival, which usually goes back once every four years, and a large portable shrine (resting place of portable shrines) was built in the nearby Horidome Children's Park, which took three years to complete the production in 1932 (portable shrine was destroyed by the Great East Japan Earthquake).

　

　

　

On the first day of the festival, "relocation ceremony" was held on the first day. On the 8th of the following day, portable shrine, led by chief priest, took a trolley around Kofune-cho, where the company leader carrying of miniature shrines was held in the evening.

　

　

"The old days of Kofune-cho" was the gateway to Nihonbashi wholesaler district....It is a 5-minute walk from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi in the direction of Ningyocho. Filling the old Shakujii River and making it urbanized. Kofune-cho and Horiecho (transferred to Kofune-cho in the early Showa era), which border the two east and west moats left, are Edo Minato from the Edo era to the early Showa era. A logistics center with a wide variety of wholesalers in the city across the road. It is said that there were many shoppers in Horie-cho. The Nishiboriru River was buried in 1929 (1929) due to the pottery of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the Higashiboriru River was reclaimed in 1949 (1949) by the disposal of surplus soil from the war, and became Horidome Children's Park. . In addition, Kofune-cho is the place where Zenjiro Yasuda, the founder of Yasuda Zaibatsu, opened a currency exchange business. It is also the place where the oil businessman Tsunekichi Ogura started the business.

　

The origin of Senso-ji Temple's "Obunamachi Japanese lantern".

In 1684-87, a merchant in Kofune-cho, who made a fortune by handling fresh fish and bonito flakes, expressed his spirit of faith, and dedicated the large Japanese lantern (3.75m high, 400kg weight), which wrote the name of Kofune-cho in Senso-ji Temple (now Hozomon) for more than 350 years....(From Kobunamachi's bookmark)
