The 5th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification

[Mido] February 4, 2013 12:54

I have taken the 5th Chuo-ku Tourism Test.
You can choose the Royal Park Hotel and the Ginza Tobu Hotel as the test site.
I can do it, but I received it in the former.
Candidates are literally like men and women of all ages, and you guys.
I was doing the final check of the study with a nervous face.

I will answer 100 questions (four choices) in 90 minutes, so I will carefully answer the questions.
I don't have enough time to read, and I think the ability to read smoothly is also required.
The content of the question is the official text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia for Walking".
If you read the text because most of them are from the beginning, it is generally
As you can see, some of them were quite pinpointed.
Involuntarily, "Wow, will you be asked from such a place?"
There is something that cried in my heart.

・What is the name of Siebold's daughter?
・What is the weight of the door of the large safe in Mitsui Main Building?
・What is the number of national treasures at the Mitsui Memorial Museum?
・What was the Tokugawa shogun who liked pickles?
・"The Story of Love in Ginza", Yujiro Ishihara's duet?


I've studied past problems for three years, but I've been studying the past.
Things and trends were the same. However, this time we ask the numbers.
The problem of filling up the gap between Haiku and poetry is conspicuous.
I think it was better to be memorized.
In addition, questions from photographs and illustrations posted in the text are past.
I think it was a little more difficult than the one, so I will take the exam next time.
If you are thinking, it is better to keep this area firmly.
That's right.

It is said that memory decreases when you get older, but as a brain training.
I think it's a good idea to take a look at the exam. Study when you were a student
I didn't like it, but recently it's fun to know what I don't know.
I've come to think about it.
Everyone interested in Chuo-ku, I definitely tried the sightseeing test.
I hope you can do it.

How to study the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification

[Mido] January 15, 2013 09:00

For those who have applied for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Examination but have not studied yet.
I will teach you an effective learning method.
Of course, the text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia that can be seen on foot" and
Please prepare a collection of past problems at hand.

If you're going to study, first read the text diagonally and give an overview.
I'll do it. You don't have to try to remember it here, so you know the whole image.
Next, let's try the collection of past problems intensively. Probably about 50%
You don't have to worry about it, but you don't have to worry.
If you solve past problems for three years, there is a general tendency to ask questions.
I think you'll understand. Some are easy, some are quite maniac.
There are various things, but there is a nuance of whether the question will be asked from such a place.
I will be able to understand it somehow.

For example, "the origin of ...", "the person related to ...", "the author of ..."
"The predecessor of ..., old name, alias, current name" is given every time.
"Number" is also easy to make a problem, so remember the points related to numbers.
The filling of Haiku and Kawayanagi is also often questioned.
And rivers and bridges always come out, so it's better to study the details.

If you understand the general tendency of questions like this, I will write the text this time.
I'll read it carefully. Mark this place where you think it's going to come out
Read the text repeatedly.
Make sure you have a good image of the photos in the text.
Let's do it.

In addition, you can earn points if you remember the events and news that were in the year.
For example, in the fourth exam, there was a problem related to the movie "Kirin's Tsubasa".
Teskito alone is enough, but if you can afford it, go to the tourist association site.
If you check this correspondent blog, it's better.

The pass line is 75 points, so we do not aim for 100 points, but target 80 points.
In other words, there is a feeling that you don't have to do 20 points.
Please stay calm and do your best.

Please refer to this about 2012 (the fifth) Chuo-ku sightseeing certification.

Yokoyamacho and Bakurocho wholesale district

[Mido] December 28, 2012 09:00

I don't think any further explanation is needed now, but Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho and Bakurocho are Japan.
It's the biggest cash wholesale district. It is surrounded by Edo-dori St., Kiyosubashi-dori and Yasukuni Dori.
The triangular zone is always crowded with shoppers.
In particular, I say "nothing is not" for clothing, textiles, and clothing.
I think it's going to be.

According to historical literature, there were 19 wholesalers in 1792.
After that, in 1827, it became 62 houses and developed as a wholesale district.
I think it was.
Yokoyamacho has been a wholesale district since the Edo period, but Bakurocho was a town of inn at that time.
To stay in Bakurocho and carefully select items in the wholesale district of Yokoyamacho.
It seems that it was a good idea.

Because it is a wholesale district, sometimes "I refuse amateurs" and "I do not retail"
I see the posters I wrote at the entrance, but at most shops, I also sell them to individuals.
I'll give you it. The price is surprisingly low, for example,
・3 ties 1050 yen
・4 socks 525 yen
・Leather belt 300 yen
・Sweater 680 yen
・All items in the store 400 yen

It's not only cheap, but also good things and good for the common people.
It's a wholesale district. If you're looking for clothing, textiles, or clothing, you'll definitely want to do it.
I think it's a spot I want to stop by.

Soup curry

[Mido] Nov. 28, 2012 08:15

This time's recommendation is La Bettlapeltti (Bar L)
It's a soup curry.
This Italian restaurant is located on the 1st basement floor of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower.
It's a name that seems to bite your tongue, but it's for office workers and OLs.
It's a popular shop.
The word "I don't care" written on the blackboard is attractive and unintentionally.
I was guided to the store.

The curry that doesn't serve is chicken roast, tomato curry and vegetable grig.
There are two types of bone soup curry, white rice is 800 yen and 16 grain rice.
It's 900 yen. (Photo: 16 grain rice)

I'm making curry in the counter, and it's just "many"
I feel like that.
About 10 minutes after ordering, the dishes on the tray were brought.
Curry soup has a smooth taste with no sticky feeling.
All the vegetables seemed to melt in their mouths.
It feels like curry and vegetables are just in harmony.

I didn't like smoking OK at lunchtime, but I didn't like it.
I was satisfied with the "soup curry" itself.

"Katsuo Kakuni Man"

[Mido] October 30, 2012 08:22

It is sold at the long-established "Ninben" main store in the Choredo Muromachi Building.
"Katsuo Kakuniman" is recommended.
The appearance is Chinese bun, but the ingredients inside are "Katsuo Kakuni".
Japanese-style and refreshing food.
It is packed with sweet and spicy soy sauce flavored bonito and onions, and bonito soup stock.
The aroma and taste of this product are exquisitely delicious. The secret ingredient seems to be ginger.
As expected, I think it is a dish that feels the history of the long-established "Ninben".
The price is 200 yen per piece and the price is reasonable. This is my lunch these days
One coin with 2 "Katsuo Kakuni Man" and dashi soup (100 yen) of bonito flakes.
500 yen course.

They also sold frozen items for souvenirs. (800 yen for 4 pieces)
When warming, you can't do it in a microwave oven, but you can't do it.
There is no doubt that steamed in a steamer is more delicious.

"Katsuo Kakuniman" is said to be limited to the season, but it is for shoppers.
I heard that until next year's Golden Week.
It is said that it's a good idea.
Why don't you try it when you drop in nearby?

Do you know the Nihonbashi Highball? Local area of Nihonbashi area
It was offered as a high ball in July this year.
Nihonbashi's "wa" and "glamorousness" highballs supported by a wide range of generations.
One of the local menus in the Nihonbashi area that was arranged with the image of the image.
I joined it.
Uses "Hakushu" which is perfect for highballs with a refreshing taste.
In addition, "Hanaho Shiso" of Edo vegetables that create a refreshing scent is added.
It is said that it expresses the "smart" of Edo Nihonbashi.


"Nihonbashi Highball" is supported by Suntory as a whole restaurant in Nihonbashi.
It is said that it will be released and provided as part of regional revitalization.
The price is a little high at 1,260 yen, but once you drink it, you can find it.
It's a refreshing feeling that it's going to be.

Nowadays, when autumn is deepening, Edo Tokyo vegetable snack "Hojiso" is a snack of vegetables.
With the gorgeousness of the blue Shiso and the refreshing highball of Edo Nihonbashi, "Iki"
Why don't you feel it?
