◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (9th)◎
"Always thank you, always rewarding" "No prosperity without gathering people"!
/ Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative
A number of long-established stores have been newly added, and we visited the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative, which currently has 206 members, and interviewed Vice President Minamitani.
Ningyocho Shopping Street has a long history, and in 1908, a union organization called "Shoseikai" was formed ahead of the world, and based on the "always thanks, always rewarding" of the merchant soul inherited from the Edo era, Founded a union in 1956. The philosophy of the shopping street is that there is no prosperity without gathering people, and while preserving the culture and traditions of Edo so that many people can gather, they always think and implement new things. One of the reasons why the shopping district is lively is that the young organization is solid, and the Sansuikai was formed in 1974, and about 70 people are currently planning and executing events. At the age of 50, it seems that he will not be a member and will be a supporter, but since Edokko with a personality-in-law are playing a lot, many events such as Setono City, Tenten Festival and Ningyo Market will be exciting I think.
Among the many long-established stores, Hatsune of the sweet shop has been running since the Edo period of Tempo 8 (1837), and as with the shop of Vice President Minamitani, there are many long-established stores in Meiji period that have been founded, and the kind hospitality and delicious taste that have been passed down from generation to generation, make it a nostalgic and relieved that you can never come. Ningyocho-dori, where the shopping street is located, was maintained last year, and the sidewalk expanded by 30 cm, making it a non-slip and easy-to-walk granite. The history of Ningyocho Shopping Street and the nostalgic streets of the past can be listed in "New Edition Nihonbashi Ningyocho", so if you are interested, please purchase it at a bookstore. (3,500 yen)
After the “newcomers” set in Ningyocho was broadcast nationwide, many families and young people from all over Japan will visit the “newcomers location tour” to stroll around the shops they saw on TV. It seems that you will see it. The "shopping map", which is convenient for first-time visitors, is distributed free of charge at member stores and can be downloaded from the website, so please use it. http://www.ningyocho.or.jp/
Many people are waiting for an hour to see both of the two Karakuri towers on Ningyocho-dori, so recently, every 30 minutes in addition to just the time from 11:00 to 19:00 It seems that the mechanism is moving. The Karakuri Ogura is also perfect for the atmosphere of Ningyocho, but I think that the worries of such shopping streets are also a story like Ningyocho. The town fire extinguisher tower can be seen by ladder rides and makiage while listening to tree singing songs in the costumes and wear of the "Hagumi" under the jurisdiction. The Edo Rakugo Ogura is a live voice of Danyuki Tachikawa, where the creative story "The Origin of Ningyocho" flows for about 2 minutes, and you can see the streets of Edo and the townspeople. Please take a look when you come to Ningyocho.
In the coming season, Ningyogai Shopping Street is full of fun events. Children from nearby elementary schools can also participate in the event together, connect the shopping street and the children through the day experience of the shop, etc., and the children who will carry the next era can enjoy Edo culture and tradition I think that it is the uniqueness of downtown that you can get used to it. The main events are as follows, and I'm looking forward to it every year. For details, please refer to the website of Ningyocho Shopping Street.

For the future of the shopping district, "newcomers" were very popular on national broadcasting, so we are considering tours from all over Japan, so after sightseeing such as Sky Trees, shopping and eating in Ningyocho When realized, this seems to be a big hit.
In addition, the homepage is already available in English, Korean and Chinese so that many foreigners can come, and a shopping map is being created. Ningyocho has the Toei Asakusa Line and Hakozaki Interchange, so access to Haneda Airport and Narita Airport is very convenient.
It is close to Ginza and Asakusa, which are very popular with foreigners, so I think people all over the world can feel the Edo atmosphere.
I've been a newcomer for five years since I moved to this city, but I love Ningyocho, which is convenient, safe and very cozy. There are many purposes to come, such as shopping and dining, events such as Setonoichi and Ningyoichi, theater at Meijiza, visiting Suitengu, visiting Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, visiting newcomer locations, and so on. Ningyocho Shopping Street has 206 member stores, so anyone can always find their favorite shops, so please come by all means.
