Walk from the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Toshin Yaezu Street for 300 meters, and you will see the familiar statue of Kirin.
Cross the pedestrian crossing to the south, see the monument of Jan Jooss Ten, which was set up to commemorate the first anniversary of the Declaration of Peace City, which stands out, and proceed in front of the Bridgestone Museum under construction. I will soon reach Kuyasu Bridge.
Kuyasu Bridge was built in front of the residence of Matsudaira Ecchu Mamoru during the Edo period and was called "Ecchu Bridge", but in 1868 (1868), the name "Ecchu", a remnant of Edo shogunate, was named "Kuyasu Bridge". The name of "Kuyasubashi" is said to be due to the fact that there was a place of worship for Gosha Kuyasu in this area in the past. The current bridge is a reconstruction project following the Great Kanto Earthquake, and its construction was rebuilt in March 1930 along with the construction of Yaesu Street.
I will explain "Matsudaira Ecchu Mamoru Kamiyashiki", which was the basis of the name "Ecchu Bridge".
Matsudaira Etsuchumori is the Matsudaira family of the Kuwana clan in late Tokugawa shogunate. The last feudal lord of the Kuwana Domain was Sadaaki Matsudaira and the younger brother of Katamori Matsudaira, the guardian of Kyoto, Aizu feudal lord. (One of the four Takasu brothers)
By the way, the building at the side of Kuyasu Bridge is under construction, and I felt that the panels surrounding it were excellent. There are about 12 panels in total, but in the Edo period, Nihonbashi and Kyobashi districts were towns where artisans lived.
During the Edo period, many craftsmen lived in this area, and it is said that the name of the town was given from the work of the craftsmen. In the vicinity of the current Yaesu and Kyobashi, there are a variety of monozukuri craftsmen from artisan towns such as Ogamachi, Motozaimokucho and Minamidaikumachi, which handle construction materials, to Okemachi, Tatami-cho, and Guashi-cho, which handle the daily necessities of samurai and common people. It was a town where Takumi lives. " By the way, the place where the current Kyobashi Edgran is located was Tatami-cho in the Edo period, and the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center confirmed it.
From here, if you are taking a walk in the direction of Hatchobori, a panel explaining about Hatchobori concentric will be interesting.
He said that his power was called "husband" and his wife was called "wife".
How about taking a walk with your husband and wife? There are two Japanese sweets shops on Suzuran Street, where you can also buy delicious souvenirs.
In front of Keika Square, you can see an explanation monument about Hatchobori's power and concentric mansion.
By the way, when you go to Kameshima Bridge, you will find a monument about Basho's stone monument, Ino Tadataka and Sharaku Toshusai. On the opposite side of the bridge, there is an explanation monument that Yasubee Horibe lived.
The real thing is
Please take a look at these monuments and monuments at Kameshima Bridge.
Also, the explanation about manners of hospitality was interesting.
buddhist cuisine's takuan only gave out one piece (sufficient), three pieces (sufficient) and four pieces (sufficient), and the heart of hospitality was explained as manners. It's interesting to take part in the experiment.
It's a refreshing autumn climate, so please have a pleasant walk.
