I went to Tsukiji Market!

[Hikoharu Co., Ltd.] Nov. 27, 2017 12:00

I went to Tsukiji Market. "Tsukiji" is a land that reclaims the sea and swamps, as everyone knows. Due to the great fire of the Meiryaku era in 1657, the Edo Asakusa Gobo in Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho disappeared, and the land that reclaimed the sea of Hatchobori was subtracted by the Shogunate as an alternative land. It is the beginning of Tsukiji. To put it simply, Tsukiji was converted to Teramachi / Samurai residence ⇒ Naval ⇒ Central Wholesale Market.

 

And now, "TSUKIJI" is famous as a market city in the world. This time, it was a city walk to search for rare information in such a city.

 

It is famous that Tsukiji was home to Japan's first hotel, Tsukiji Hotel Building, but surprisingly unknown is that there are currently accommodations in Tsukiji Market. Its name is Tsukiji Market Welfare Hall. The location is located on the right side of the Fish Extension Center Museum in Kachidoki Kadoguchi. It seems that there are many people who participate, such as tours of tuna auctions.

This photo shows the in-house market. Enter the seafood Hashikado and aim for Yokocho. The first thing I would like to introduce is "Shigerusuke Dango". It is a shop that became the model of the nursery rhyme "Dango Three Brothers". It is a dumpling shop that is favored by Masahiko Sato, a media creator who wrote the lyrics.

The photo on the right is Yoshinoya Tsukiji No. 1 store that everyone knows well. Founded in 1899 on the fish shore of Nihonbashi. It is said that the name "Yoshinoya" was named after Yoshino-cho, Osaka, the birthplace of the founder Eikichi Matsuda.

In the market, there are not only bookstores but also library rooms. In addition, there were clinics and dental clinics, and I was a little surprised.

And speaking of the on-site market, it is a lively view of freight vehicles and tarre running. Trucks, forklifts, and tarle are running narrowly in the hall. In a sense, it is really dangerous, so you need to pay more attention. After all, the most noticeable thing is the turret track known as turret truck. This tarre makes a small turn, and can be rotated even in a small space. It seems that the maximum loading capacity is 1000kg. At present, most turrets are powered by rechargeable motors, and the sound is very quiet. Of course, if you register as a small special vehicle, you can run on public roads. This time, I was able to take a photo of the aligned Tale charging. (The wiring is connected to each tarle from the pillar and charged.) In addition, the photo at the bottom is a found bulletin board next to the main gate. (Today's lost items were listed as telephones, raw oysters, and whale bacon. Did you drop the ingredients you just purchased when you carry them with tarre? This is a story unique to Tsukiji Market. What's more strange is the phone. Did you take the child machine used in the office outside and drop it? Yes, that's the only thing!

In addition, there is a bus stop in Tsukiji. That's why the bus is running on the same road as the truck, Tale. The bus is from JR Shimbashi Station to Tsukiji Chuo Market (circulation) city 01. On weekdays, the first train departing at Shimbashi Station is as early as 5:02, but it is important to note that the last Tsukiji Market is also 23 wards in Tokyo, but it is fast at 17:20. And there is no Sunday or public holiday service. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a bus dedicated to customers and related parties using the Tsukiji Market.

Aside from that, at the same time as the opening of the Tsukiji Market in 1935, a freight line opened between Shiodome Station and Tokyo Ichiba Station. It is a well-known fact that the Tsukiji Market is fan-shaped to secure a long railway platform on the premises. I've also seen railroad crossings, which are evidence of the draw line. It seems that this will be Ginza 8-chome by address.

The photo on the right shows the street next to the Asahi Shimbun, where there was a drop-in line from Seikamon in Tsukiji Market. The railroad crossing is ahead.

And the last one is the weeping ginkgo that has begun to turn red at Namiki Shrine.

It will surely be more beautiful yellow by the time of the third rooster.
