 An exhibition and sale event that also serves as a city PR in Tokyo, sponsored by the Tokyo Marathon 2016, is being held.

On February 27, I went to Tokyo Big Sight.

On this day, Shiho Shingu, the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo, greeted me with a smile.

I was able to take a commemorative two-shot, but unfortunately both photos show the faces of ordinary customers clearly and cannot be announced.

The upper sidewalk of the Tokyo Marathon 2016 Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is not allowed <Emergency Information>

[Silver] February 24, 2016 18:00

 Everyone who is looking forward to supporting and watching the Tokyo Marathon 2016

The upstream sidewalk of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is undergoing seismic work on the bridge, and the iron bridge from Minato 3-chome side to the bridge has been removed.

 

On February 24, we were just working on sending concrete with a pump truck.

1456285702923.jpg

 For support and watching on Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, please use the overpass that rises from the Akashicho side.

Just above, there is a stud at 36km point, but it is the upstream side where it cannot pass.

This point is a little slope, and it is the most difficult passing point for runners.

(Refer to the cat's blog on the slope, which was reported before.)

 

If you arrive on the upstream side by mistake, please see the "Tsukuda Island Ferry Monument" and use the pedestrian bridge on the downstream side.

I hope you will have a good support and watch the game. Silver

※It is said that this construction will continue until March 31. Please note that those who stroll around Tsukiji, Tsukuda, and Tsukishima.

 

 

 

Tsukishima Walk Tsukuda Island Battery Ruins, History of Nishinakabashi, etc.

[Silver] February 6, 2016 09:00

 You can take a walk on Tsukishima and experience the history of Tsukishima from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. 

Tsukishima was reclaimed in 1887.

I would like to introduce two information boards that will tell you about such things.

 

 The first is an explanation version of the "Tsukudajima Battery Ruins" installed around 1-14 Tsukishima. In that explanation,

1454057423288.jpg

At the end of the Edo period, this place, located south of Tsukuda Island, was built with a sea defense facility called "turret" to cope with the arrival of foreign ships.
 The battery was built as part of the Edo defense and maritime defense measures, in June 1853, U.S. East India Fleet Commander Perry arrived in Uraga with four warships, opening Japan and opening a trading port. It was triggered by an event that asked for the opening of a port.

Two months after Perry's arrival, in August of the same year, the Shogunate began building a daiba (turret) for defense of Edo off Shinagawa in preparation for an emergency, and in the short period until November of the following year, "First to Third, Fifth, Sixth, Goten Yamashita "(Shinagawa Daiba) have been completed.
The battery was built south of Tsukuda Island in 1864 (1864), about 10 years after the construction of Shinagawa Daiba.

The triggers for the construction of the battery were events such as the Satsuhide that broke out in 1863 (1863) and the Shimonoseki bombardment by the Shikoku (UK, United States, France, and Orchid) Union Fleet in 1864. .

The Shogunate planned to install a new coastal battery between Shinagawa and Ecchu Island in order to establish a stronger Edo Bay defense posture, and the Tsukuda Island Battery was also built as one of them.
 According to "Tokyo Tsushi" in the "Tokyo City History Report", the size of the Tsukuda Island Battery is "Minami Marine Niari on the southern tip of Tsukuda Island, Kyobashi-ku". Approximately 70 meters from east to west, approximately 70 meters from north to south, approximately 72 meters from east to west, approximately 1,377 tsubo. The first year of the first year of the first year of the era, the construction of the Koshi shogunate, the repair of the Meiji era, the Ministry of Army Ni genus ".
 In the Meiji era, it became a battery under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Army, but during the construction of Tsukishima, which began in 1887 (1887), the Tsukishima No. 1 landfill (currently Tsukishima 1-4 chome) was based on the Tsukudajima Battery. Landfill was advanced, and it disappeared during the construction process.

       March 2011 (date of installation of information boards)

 

Also, if you walk from Nishinakadori Shopping Street toward Kachidoki, you will find Nishinakabashi.

The article about the replacement of this bridge is also interesting, so I would like to introduce it.

1454057466013.jpg

The current Nishinakabashi was replaced in March 2014 (2014).

Before the rebuilding, Nishinakabashi was bridged in 1956 (1956), and a total of 70 wooden stakes (Yonematsu) were used as the basis for piers and abutments.

This wooden stake is taken out of the Tsukishima River at the current Nishinakabashi Bridge and exhibited, and is also reused as a bench. In addition, the masonry in front of the abutment of Nishinakabashi used to be reused as retaining walls and planting.

That's an explanation.

 The foundations and bridges of buildings from Meiji period to Showa were used a lot of American and Canadian pine trees.

While thinking about such things, I sat on a reusable bench and enjoyed a walk on Tsukishima.
