Hello!
Today, I would like to jump out of Chuo-ku and deliver it from Tokyo International Airport (Hada Airport).
In this "Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent blog", in principle, information about Chuo-ku is to be sent.
Why did you pick up Haneda Airport in Ota-ku?
That's because there is a replica of Nihonbashi, one of Chuo-ku's identity, in Haneda Airport.
The name is "Haneda Nihonbashi". It is located in the International Terminal Building, which started operation in 2010.
After arriving at the international terminal by train, monorail, or bus, you will arrive at the departure lobby on the third floor.
You can see something like that in the direction of the left back. Go up to the 4th floor by escalator and go in that direction ...
You can see "Haneda Nihonbashi". Under the bridge, tables and chairs are placed to create a rest space.
The replica of Nihonbashi is modeled on a wooden Nihonbashi in the late Edo period and the first half of the 19th century, instead of the stone-built Nihonbashi that is currently built, and cypress from Yoshino is used. (By the way, Nihonbashi in the late Edo period seems to have been using cypress and zelkova.)
The width and length are reproduced in about half the size (4m x 25m).
You can use stairs and elevators to climb on the bridge.
Wooden lanterns are also placed, creating a Japanese atmosphere in a modern design terminal building.
"The departure has been in Nihonbashi for a long time and now."...It is a word that I want to keep in mind as a sightseeing correspondent in Chuo-ku
One side of the bridge is a wall, and a replica of the huge "Edo Figure Screen" is displayed.
The main towns of Edo during the establishment period are depicted, including Nihonbashi, Kyobashi / Shimbashi, Hatchobori / Tsukiji, and many towns in the current Chuo-ku. .
The photo is a part of Nihonbashi.
The opposite side of the "Edo-zu folding screen" has a good view, and you can see the departure lobby of the International Terminal Building.
Of course, it is far from the actual scenery seen from Nihonbashi....Laugh
You can enjoy the feeling of having slipped in time!
In addition, the "giboshi" shaped like an onion and the "hoju pillar" supporting it are reproduced in actual size.
By the way, the way from the departure lobby to "Haneda Nihonbashi" is called "Edokoji".
It is a shopping area inspired by the streets of the Edo period.
By the way, in addition to the "Haneda Nihonbashi" introduced this time, the "Edo Tokyo Museum" in Sumida-ku also has a replica of Nihonbashi from the Edo period, but all of them are reproduced only half in length....
The actual scale of Nihonbashi can only be experienced locally!
From Haneda Airport to Nihonbashi, you can take a direct train from Keikyu Line to Toei Asakusa Line without having to change trains.
Experience the texture of Nihonbashi in the Edo period at "Haneda Nihonbashi", think about the scenery of Chuo-ku in the Edo period with "Edo Figure Screen", and then stand on Nihonbashi....Such a trip may be interesting!
