Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The annual Betara City began to coincide with the festival of Ebisu Shrine at Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Otemmacho.

There are many shops on the 19th and 20th, and it is very busy.

 

More Better market begins

 

This time, I will walk from Ryogokubashi to Shinohashi, the eastern end of Chuo-ku.

First of all, it is the Sumida River terrace from Ryogoku Bridge.

Flowers of the four seasons are planted and maintained beautifully.

It's the perfect place for walking and jogging.

 

More Around the banks of Hamacho (from Ryogokubashi to Shinohashi)

 

Last time, I walked along the river from Kanda River Kawaguchi to Yanagibashi and Asakusabashi.　Today, I will walk "Saemonbashi", the border between Chuo-ku and Chiyoda-ku. (Saemon Bridge is also the border of Taito Ward.)                                   This is a photo from Asakusabashi Bridge.

The main street running left and right is Yasukuni Dori. If you cross the Ryogoku Bridge on the left, your name will change to Keiyo Road.

The front is Edo-dori St. It is a highway that runs from Asakusa Gomon to Oshu Kaido during the Edo period.

The area along the Kanda River on the right side was the place where the Edo period Gundai mansion was located, and an explanation board stands beside the police box.

 

                                                                  At present, you can see Yanagihara-dori on the Kanda River side and Ma 2 Naka-dori on the Yasukuni Dori side. Nihonbashi Jogakukan Junior and Senior High Schools, which are undergoing rebuilding, occupy this corner, but it seems that the Baba in Hatsune, where Hatsune Mori Shrine, which was introduced last time, was located, was also around the Edo period.

 

                                                                                                                                             This is the current Yanagihara street. The right is the building of Nihonbashi Jogakukan, which is under construction.

Willows are planted on both sides to remind you of the row of willow trees on the bank of Yanagihara in the Edo period.

The border between the center and Chiyoda is thought to be Saemonbashi Street, and along the Kanda River west side of the bridge is Chiyoda-ku, and about two blocks south of Chuo-ku penetrates Chiyoda-ku.

 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The right side of the photo is Higashi-Kamida 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, and the left side is Bakurocho 2-chome, Chuo-ku.

If you look closely at the trees of the street trees, you can see that this is the boundary.

　It is said that the Yanagihara embankment was a street where many used clothes shops gathered in the Edo period, but now a clothing wholesale district is formed at Bakurocho 1-chome.

Today, I noticed a sticker of KAMISM SUMMER SALE (Washi) from Kawashima Planning and Sales Co., Ltd., a kimono and obi recycling shop called Warakuan.

 

 

　On August 21 (Fri), the annual Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival was held at Hamacho Park.

Each town council has elaborated mock shops and it is very lively.

 

       This is the main gate.

                             　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　            This is the Meijiza side gate.

 　                                                  List of venues and schedules.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　            It was just a wonderful performance of Taisho Koto.

 Last time, we described this area as a departure from the north of Chuo-ku, but the terrain sandwiched between the Sumida River and the Kanda River reminds me of a cape. After the great fire of the Meiryaku era, a fire protection area was set up, and a lot of ballaque-style show huts were lined up, and it was a great prime place. There is a stone monument near the intersection, but if you feel the history, is it about a restaurant such as "Toriyasu" and "Kameseiro" across the Kanda River and "Yakuken Dori Fudoin"? On the other hand, the placent smell is now in both Sumida-ku countries.

　

If you walk along a narrow alley along the Kanda River from Ryogoku Bridge, you will see Yanagibashi.

 There is a monument derived from the bridge and a monument of reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

 

 If you walk along a narrow road along the river, you will reach Edo-dori St. from Asakusa to Nihonbashi.

There are lodgings between Yanagibashi and Asakusabashi, and you can see many houseboats connected to the Kanda River.

You can also buy seasonal tsukudani at the inn.

There is a single street between Yasukuni Dori, opposite this road. (It seems that the name Hatsune Mori-dori has recently been named.) Everyone will not step in much, but you can see a building with an interesting name.

1. Sock House　　　　2. Tokyo Soukei Kaikan　　　　　3. Fuji Light Carpet (Crupet Hall)　　　　　　　　

　You will also be surprised at the building with a red shrine torii in front of the post office at the exit of this street (called Ryogoku Post Office).

This shrine is called Hatsune Mori Shrine, and it seems that it was located on the west side of the current Asakusabashi, a shrine built around 1330, but moved to Sumida-ku after the great fire of the Meiryaku era, and built a temple here in 1973 . An old book with the great fire of the Meiryaku era written

The print of "Musashi Abumi" introduced the terrible state of the fire.

　

 

More From Nihonbashi Ryogoku to the Kanda River

 

 Chuo-ku is elongated from north to south, and looks like a pattern of clothes when you look at the outline.

I would like to introduce the city north of this neck to the shoulder.

　The Sumida River to the east, the Kanda River to the north, the Kanda River is the northern end, and the right end that flows into the Sumida River of this river is the northernmost end of Chuo-ku, and now Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome.

The bridge over the mouth of the Kanda River is Yanagibashi, and the opposite bridge is Taito Ward.

 In addition, Ryogoku Bridge is a large bridge on the Sumida River side near the tip, and this name is said to be a bridge connecting Musashi no Kuni (here side) and Shimousa no Kuni (there side, now Sumida-ku). It is said that it was given.

　The west side of Hashizume (this side) is the so-called Nihonbashi Ryogoku, and it is also the place where Ryogoku Hirokoji was established as a fire protection area after the great fire of the Meiryaku era. It seems that it has been very popular as a prime place since the middle of the Edo period, but now buildings are lined up as a business district and condominium district.

　It is a minor place where many people do not visit, but I would like to walk slowly from the next time.
