The cherry blossom viewing season has come again.

The cherry blossom festival at amazake Yokocho will be held at Hamacho Ryokudo Park from 11:00 to 13:00 on March 28.

The place is around the Benkei statue. amazake seems to be available.

Also, it seems that you can draw lots when you shop in the shopping street.

Today (20th), I looked for about one flowering, but I was disappointed.

But the buds were red and seemed to bloom now.

You can also enter the green road from Shin-ohashi-dori St.

This is more convenient from Suitengu Station.

This green road is the former Hamacho River. I think there are many people who remember it.

Please drop in when you come to Ningyocho.

There is Wanwan Square on the downstream terrace of the Sumida River from Shinohashi Nishizume.

The name is "Hamacho Park (Wanwan Square)".

Usage time is from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM

Saturday, Sunday and public holidays are from 3:30 to 8:30.

The permitted area is 369,43 m2.　

 17 precautions for use are posted.

Until recently, I didn't know that there was such a wonderful dog playground on the Sumida River Terrace.

But there was such a poster on the wall.　"If you bark, leave."

　Speaking of the temples and shrines in Higashinihombashi, Yakken-dori Fudoin is the most famous. However, the shrine is hiding behind a tour of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

　I'm going around such a minor Inari today.

First of all, from "Kawakami Inari Shrine", which stands quietly on the left alley at the entrance of the Industrial Hall Street, west of Ryogokubashi.

　Founded in 1628 Boshin July (1628)

Located on the boarding point of the former Shogunate, Shiga moved the sanctuary to this area in April 1869 and honors Takashi. There is an explanation that it became a concurrent company of Kanda-jinja Shrine in January 1873, burned by the war in 1945, and rebuilt as a memorial to the 360th anniversary of 1988.

　Next, we will go to "Yanoko Inari" on the back street of Yagenbori Fudoin.

　According to Engi

In 1645, the Shogunate built Yonekura near here, and was called Tanino Kura and Yanozo. In the garden, we worshiped Sansha Inari Shrine, which combined three shrines as the gods of Mikura. It consisted of Tanino Kura Inari in the center, Fukutomi Inari on the left, and Shinzaemon Inari on the right. In Genroku 11 (1698), the warehouse was relocated to the gunshot, and these three shrines Inari were also moved together, but Shinzaemon Inari was relocated in 1873, and Fukutomi Inari was relocated to "Hatsune Mori Shrine", and the current location of Tanino Tazo was changed to the location of Inari. The name was "Yanoko Inari" from some time ago.

　Let's go to "Hatsune Mori Shrine" in "Yanoko Inari" Engi.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Asakusabashi Minami, Nihonbashi Ryogoku Post Office.

According to history

The shrine was called Hatsune no Sato along the Oshu Kaido during the Genko era (around 1330).

Astronomical 20 (1551) Baba was called Deki Hatsune Baba in front of the company.

In the Edo era, half of the precincts were cut down during the construction of the Asakusa Mitsukemon gate, and after the great fire of the Meiryaku era (1657), it became the Kanto-gun Daishiki, and moved to Sumida-ku. In 1948, a shrine was built in a part of the historic site.

　At this shrine, you can get a modern translation of "Musashi Abumi", which describes the devastation of the great fire of the Meiryaku era.

　Also, beside the entrance, you can see the "Asakusa Gomon gate pillar" discovered in the soil in 1961.

　Finally, there is "Tamao Inari Shrine" in the valley of the building near Kiyosubashi-dori, Higashi Nihonbashi 3-chome.

　As mentioned above, I met four Inari-san in Higashi-Nihonbashi-cho.

From December 27 to 29, the annual payment year-old city will be held around Kawasaki Daishi Tokyo Besin Yaken Dori Fudoin along Kiyosugi-dori, Higashi Nihonbashi Station.　(From 12:00 to 20:00 every day)

It is a “Notoshinoichi” that serves as the delivery of Toshinoichi in Tokyo, and is lined with about 150 stalls such as New Year's goods, clothing, bags, and miscellaneous goods.

There is a gate at the entrance of the approach from the main street, and you can see many Japanese lantern.

A sign stands quietly in the planting of Shin-ohashi-dori St., right opposite Hamacho Building, Hamacho 2-chome, Tornale Hamacho Building. According to the description

　The Tokiwa-kai was established in 1883 in 1883 by the Hisamatsu family of Matsuyama feudal lord in Iyokuni (now Ehime Prefecture) to support the former clansman children in Tokyo.

　The Hisamatsu family set up a mansion in this area after the Meiji Restoration, and the Tokiwa-kai was set up in this mansion.

Among the 10 first payees in 1884, there was a poet Shiki Masaoka. Shiki moved to Tokyo alone from his hometown of Matsuyama in June 1883 to the student's room at Hisamatsu's house, and states that being selected as a payee the following year is one of the joys of half-life.

　Tokiwa-kai founded a dormitory at the site of Shoyo Tsubouchi in Masago-cho, Hongo in 1887, and Shiki spent his time as a student from September 1888 to the end of 24. 

This Hisamatsu residence has been met many times in the clouds above the slope of Ryotaro Shiba.

The Akiyama brothers are also from Iyomatsuyama, and when their older brother Yoshiko moved to Tokyo, they are told, "If you arrive in Tokyo, go to a mansion on the banks of Nihonbashihamacho." It is a small annex that was said to be "Hamacho's Imperial House" during the former Makuhaku period, and is still owned by the former feudal lord Hisamatsu family, and the Hisamatsu family used it as a dormitory when the former clansman moved to Tokyo and entered school.

When he moved to Tokyo, Shiki said, "As soon as he arrived, he would greet the former feudal lord residence," so he took a rickshaw from the station (Shimbashi) to Hisamatsu residence in Hamacho, Nihonbashi-ku. Yes, there is.

After this, the younger brother of the Akiyama brothers, Masayuki, also moved to Tokyo and sent youth with Shiki.

A few years later, Hekigodo Kawahigashi also moved to Tokyo to enter the dormitory of Tokiwa-kai to take the first high exam.

In 1889, Shiki was in the Tokiwa-kai dormitory in Hongo and was hit by the first sputum blood.

On November 7, two towers were completed in Ningyocho.

Construction began in May last year, and the main street was renewed.

It will delight the eyes of visitors.

In addition, the annual doll festival will begin on November 9, 10, 11 and 3 days.

It will bring more and more lively.
