Introducing Chuo-ku's seasonal information by sightseeing volunteer members who passed the Chuo-ku Tourism Association's Chuo-ku Tourism Certification and registered as correspondents.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. The other day, when I took a walk in Kodemmacho, I stopped by Minobu Betsuin. The Nichiren Shonin seated statue (Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo) whose eyes are made of crystals is famous. Actually, there are a lot of other interesting things. Therefore, I would like to introduce the charm of Minobu Betsuin, which makes you want to stop by in two separate sessions.
This time, I'll cover "Daikokuten Oil Spilling". At the Flower Festival, sweet tea is poured into Historical Buddha, and you are here in Daikokuten, where you can oil anytime throughout the year.... I was worried about it, and looked it up
[I say] ※There are various theories. In Fushimi, Kyoto, there is a town called "Aburake Town", which in the past, an oil merchant accidentally poured oil on a stone statue on the roadside. Since then, there has been a legend that business has prospered greatly. Mrs. Shige of Showa's famous actor Kazuo Hasegawa from Fushimi is deeply dependent on Shinto and Buddha. Shortly after the war, I accidentally dreamed of this oiled Tenjin as a dream. I was told by patron saint of academics that I would worship in Tokyo and connect with many people. head priest Nichijo Fujii of Minobu Betsuin at the time. I decided to worship at Minobu Betsuin.
[Losss] Prosperity of business, good luck, safe delivery
There are not many shrines and temples that worship the oiled Daikokuten even when viewed nationwide. When you come near, why don't you pray for Daikokuten with oil?

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. During the New Year holidays, I went to Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city in Chuo-ku. When it comes to Higashine City, it's still "snow" and "cherries"! This time, focusing on the two, we will introduce the exchange between Chuo-ku and Higashine City.
The opportunity for the exchange between these two cities goes back to 1988. Higashine City learned that the city is promoting greening at a cherry exhibition held in Chuo-ku. On June 14, we donated a cherry Wakagi with red fruits.
On the day of the event, in the fine weather, with the attendance of many mayors including Mayor Yada and Mayor Nasu Higashine, representatives of the ward assembly, cherry daughter (Mis Higashine), local town council officials, and children from Kyobashi Kindergarten attended. A tree-planting ceremony was held at Kameibashi Park (on the west highway of the ward office), and after the ceremony, the cherry daughter handed freshly picked cherries to children and those who were watching the tree planting. You can see the situation at that time on the YouTube channel of Chuo-ku government office.
(16 minutes and 56 seconds-: The state of the "Cherry Donation Ceremony" at Kameibashi Park is recorded.)
Higashine City donated 15 cherry trees. To thank you, in 1989, we gave 25 willows, including a willow that was 6m long on the sidewalk of Ginza 2-chome in Chuo-ku.
There are now six willows in Ginza in front of the city hall government building at Higashine City Hall and 13 in the adjacent "Citizen's Square".
(The willows in Ginza seen in the shadow also have a taste.)
Here's one of them! In winter, even in Higashine City, where there is always snow, it grew robustly.
If you look at the base, you will find a monument buried in snow! It is engraved with "Ginza's willow Government Building Completion Commemorative Tree Planting Donation" August 18, 1989, Chuo-ku, Tokyo". Over 30 years in Higashine City...Even if you leave your hometown, if you look at the cheerful willow in Ginza, you will get mysterious and energetic.
I want to go to see you again when you have lush leaves and cool in the wind.
Also, as you can see from the photos, there is quite a lot of snow in Higashine City. Chuo-ku does not have much connection with snow, but once every two years snow is carried from Higashine City. "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" is being held.
Mayor Higashine's New Year's message states, "At the Chuo-ku Snow Festival held in February this year, along with the gift of 200 tons of snow, the taste of the city's winter, such as potato boiled and tamakonjac. I will prepare it. " I'm very excited from now on. In 1989, when the exchange through this snow began, the Nihonbashi Snow Festival was held as a gift for 10 heavy-duty trucks. It is said that about 1,300 children gathered. Therefore, isn't the "Chuo-ku Snow Festival" a winter event that can not be overlooked especially for those with children?
And in June, the annual “Cherry Seed Flying Tournament” was also held. I think that the characteristics and goodness of Higashine City have deepened exchanges and have become known to more people. .
In addition, special products of Higashine City may be sold at events held in Chuo-ku. I can't keep an eye on the exchange with Higashine City again this year.
Why don't you visit Higashine City, which can be enjoyed both in the snowy season and in the cherry season?

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. When you hear the Tohoku region, do you think of any relevance to Chuo-ku? After all, many people think of Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a friendship city. This time, apart from Higashine City, we will introduce places related to the historic sites of Chuo-ku that I found when visiting the Tohoku region.
[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture x Tsukuda] Kaikaikan Kaikaikan, a Kappo cuisine inn where cultural figures from the Meiji and Taisho eras stayed. It was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake, and now only information boards remain in Tsukuda. In fact, the building of this ryokan was relocated from Sendai City. At that time, it was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay. It is said that Toson Shimazaki, Kaoru Osanai, Mokutaro Kinoshita, Rofu Miki, Isamu Yoshii, Manjiro Kubota, Yumeji Takehisa, and Ginnosuke Nisutsu also visited.
(I'm sorry for the evening photo.)
[Yamagata Prefecture x Nihonbashi Honmachi] Mt. Haguro At the beginning of the Edo period, the benevolent bamboo became the lower daughter of the Sakuma family in Otemmacho. One day, the conductor of Mt. Haguro in Dewa told him that he was an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai. Later, it is said that many people in the city who heard the story came to worship.
There is a stone monument called "Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido Ruins" at the site of the well she used now.
[Nakoso, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture x Nihonbashikabutocho] Yoshiie Minamotono During the Heian period, Yoshiie Minamotono headed for the attack on Oshu, suffered a storm near the current armor bridge. When I threw a piece of armor into the sea and prayed to Ryujin, I was able to cross safely.
(Currently, there is an information board for the remains of armor.)
You can see the Yoshiya appearing here at Nakoso Seki and Nakoso Station in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
Photographed at Nakoso Seki. I'm sorry to rude again with the night picture.
On the monument at Nakoso no Seki, it is engraved that "the Heian period is nearing the end of the Gosannen War, the Mutsu Mamoru Genyoshi will go here on the way down to Oshu for its peace." Then, just as we approached Nakoso, Yoshie stopped pieces and wrote such a phrase on the cherry blossoms flying on the warlord's iron clothing as if we had the spring to go. "Is yamazakura?" ("Senjo Wakashu") Bulse: It's Nakoso's Seki, named "I'm coming," so I don't think there's a blowing wind, but yamazakura's flowers are scattered enough to block the road.
Photographed at Nakoso Station.
Some of the historical sites in Chuo-ku are linked to Tohoku and all over the country. You can also think about history by connecting historical sites while traveling. And when I find a connection with my hometown, I'm sure it's not the only one who makes it even more fun to see historic sites.
There are some signboards that are not very noticeable and tend to spend time. When walking around the town, be sure to check the information boards of these historic sites.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. Continuing from the last time, it is Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures route edition.
③Route name and station name of Tokyo Metro There are 6 Tokyo Metro lines that pass through Chuo-ku! Ginza Line: Mitsukoshimae Station, Nihombashi Station, Kyobashi Station, Ginza Station Tozai Line: Nihombashi Station, Kayabacho Station Hanzomon Line: Mitsukoshimae Station, Suitengumae Station Hibiya Line: Kodemmacho Station, Ningyocho Station, Kayabacho Station, Hatchobori Station, Tsukiji Station, Higashiginza Station, Ginza Station Marunouchi Line: Ginza Station Yurakucho Line: Ginza 1-chome Station, Shintomicho Station, Tsukishima Station The Chiyoda Line, the Namboku Line, and the Fukutoshin Line are not available.
Please refer to (1) for the Hanes-style countermeasures for route problems. For routes with a large number of stations, such as the Hibiya Line, you can feel like a game like a Yamanote Line game. If you pronounce while clapping, you can enjoy learning. You can do it alone, with test takers and their families, so how about a break time?
④Year of opening When multiple subway stations are completed, such as Tsukishima, access becomes better and bustle is created. When and how many stations have been completed can also be a hint when answering. [In the case of Tsukishima area] Completed Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line in 1998 Completed Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line in 2000
With this time, the last article on the route and this year's Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures will be the last. The countermeasures vary from person to person, but it is also a good study to output what you have input. A little more until the test day! Let's do our best for each other.
※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this. If you learn the contents written here, you will not be able to pass it. Please include it in advance.
Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. Everyone planning to take the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, is your study progressing smoothly? When it gets cold, it's hard to walk around the town. In my case, on a warm day, I don't hesitate to visit historical sites and unfamiliar areas in the city.
By the way, the other day, we sent a river / bridge, Haiku / Kawayanagi, song / catchphrase as a measure for sightseeing certification in Chuo-ku. From this time, I will introduce the route edition in two parts!
As with the river and bridge edition, for those who are not from Tokyo and do not use public transportation very much, this is the case. I think it's a type of problem that makes you feel weak. But don't worry! If you hold the points, if you are not afraid of the route, you will be able to laugh and enter the test.
There are four points to keep in mind. ①JR East Line name and station name ②Toei Subway Line and Station Name ③Route name and station name of Tokyo Metro ④Year of opening The route section (1) explains 1 and 2, and the route section (2) explains 3 and 4.
①JR East Line name and station name There are only 2 JR lines that pass Chuo-ku, and only 3 JR stations! JR Sobu Line: Bakurocho Station, Shin-Nihonbashi Station JR Keiyo Line: Hatchobori Station
How about it? If you divide this way, don't you feel like you can learn the route?
②Toei Subway Line and Station Name There are only threeToei Subway lines that pass through Chuo-ku! That is the Toei Shinjuku Line, Toei Oedo Line, Toei Asakusa Line The number of stations on each line is 2, 3, and 5 in order. Toei Shinjuku Line: Hamacho Station, Bakuro-Yokoyama Station Toei Oedo Line: Tsukishima Station, Kachidoki Station, Tsukiji Market Station Toei Asakusa Line: Higashi Nihonbashi Station, Ningyocho Station, Nihombashi Station, Takaracho Station, Higashi-Ginza Station
The Toei Asakusa Line runs to the station with Higashi in Chuo-ku. By the way, the Toei Asakusa Line is also used when going to Haneda Airport.
I'm too good at route problems, so I challenged with no mark in last year's certification. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the answer to the route problem that was questioned, and I was inadvertently wrong. For this reason, this year we are taking measures for routes using the methods introduced in the future.
①Paste the route map in places you usually see (refrigerator, washroom, etc.) ②Look at the route map during commuting (because the transfer route information is often displayed) ③Memorize the announcement in the car (input "● Line changes to the line") ④One person who is not a Yamanote Line game ●● Play a line game (effective for routes with a large number of stations!) ⑤Actually use the station (regardless of whether or not you have a ride) ⑥Make a word card (station name on the front, line name on the back)
If you keep the tips on the route and remember it, think it's not scary, so let's survive!

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes. I think many people living in Tokyo bought souvenirs when they returned home at the end of the year. I was one of them, and thought, "I want to buy New Year's souvenirs in Chuo-ku!" I bought some souvenirs in Tsukiji, Ginza.
■"Hishi Hanabira," This is a product of Shiga Taneya, not Ginza, but it is a product of Shiga Taneya. Shops that can be purchased nationwide are limited, and there are three locations in the center: Ginza Mitsukoshi store, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi store, and Nihonbashi Takashimaya store. When purchased at the Ginza Mitsukoshi store, the packaging says "Ginza Mitsukoshi store" and "Ginsan", which is said to have been purchased at Ginza (Chuo-ku).
And on the inner hanging paper, it is written in seal engraving that "Is it as a noodle." It is a sign of the Taneya Group with the meaning of "expressing using the words of the year ring and Laozi and expressing the continuation of the relationship", and it seems that it was written by calligraphers. In addition to the packaging with rice ears, the paper is also auspicious and has a good appearance, so it is perfect for New Year's Day.
The most important thing is that it looks like this. In addition, I also purchased "Yukiharu Enfuku Fukumi Tenpyo", but all were elegant and gorgeous, and were very satisfied Japanese sweets.
■Coffee (* This is not a souvenir that is conscious of the New Year.) There are many coffee shops and coffee shops in Chuo-ku, but there are many coffee shops and coffee shops. When it comes to coffee like Chuo-ku that can be mailed and lasted for a long time, isn't it easy to come up with something like this? So, what I recommend is the No.1 "City Blend" drip bag of Tsukiji Yonemoto Coffee's unsellable savourable No.1 "City Blend" drip bag. It has a deep and fragrant taste that cannot be reckoned even if it is a drip.
There are other coffee shops only in Chuo-ku where you can buy coffee beans, etc. There are not many things on the package that you can see the uniqueness of Chuo-ku in Japanese and English. How about souvenirs from Chuo-ku and gifts to acquaintances overseas?
In Chuo-ku, there are plenty of long-established products that can only be obtained here, store-limited products, and seasonal products. It's easy to worry about choosing a souvenir, but you'll surely be happy to give it and you'll find a nice item to get it.
" and "cherries

The Chiyoda Line, the Namboku Line, and the Fukutoshin Line are not available.
