No. 1 and Halloween

[Satoken] October 26, 2015 14:00

On the day when the tree wilt No. 1 blows, I took a look at Happy Halloween on Tsukishima Monja Street.

 

Children dressed in various fashions carry large bags, go around each shop to get sweets and starters.

 

I was receiving a stamp from the poppy. Some adults and others were disguised.

 

Spiderman, princess, turtles, etc.

 

On the way back, a group of high-rise apartments looked up from the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge column towered in the sky without clouds.

 

The signboard of a long-established Tsukudaniya on Tsukuda Island was also reflected, and I felt the contrast between modern and history.

 

It's my favorite scenery.

[Satoken] August 17, 2015 14:00

On August 16th, the imperial procession of Ninomiya portable shrine in Reitaisai festival, Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, was held on the last day of the Bon Festival holiday.

 

As portable shrine approached, there was a sudden crowd of people along the road. Water was poured from here and there.

 

I was there. The fire department also seemed to enjoy the water discharge. Show a further excitement for the next year's main festival

 

I was there.

Walk around Tsukuda Island

[Satoken] July 30, 2015 18:00

Soon we took a walk around Tsukuda Island, where the Reitaisai festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine is located.

 

As you may know this time, I would like to introduce Tsukuda Tendai guardian of children and travelers.

 

The entrance is a narrow alley, where you may pass by inadvertently.

 

Yes, there is. It is famous for its ginkgo tree that runs through the roof.

It was well-cleaned, protected by the beliefs of the locals.

Nearby, there is also a museum decorated with mikoshi, where you can study the history of Tsukuda Island.

By the way, Reitaisai festival began on July 31, followed by a lion head shrine on August 1 and a boat imperial procession on August 2.

Will be done.

 

 

The pump I found after a long time

[Satoken] May 10, 2015 18:00

When I became a correspondent and started blogging, the street going straight from Shin-ohashi-dori St. toward Takashimaya (Sakura-dori St.?) Along the road

I found a pump beside the apartment and wrote it in an article. Even though it is not used in the city center, there are pumps.

It was fresh. Two or three years have passed since then, and during this GW, I was walking around Brabra as usual, and pumped for the first time in a long time.

I found it. I was looking forward to discovering rare things in the city, so I will introduce the pump.

This time it seemed to be actually used for fire prevention.

The place is just ahead of the alley in front of Nihonbashi Library, which I often go to. There is a temple next to it.

If you are interested, please refer to this article.

New Famous Spots in Sakamotocho Park

[Satoken] April 7, 2015 18:00

When I was walking around Sakamotocho Park on a sunny day at the end of March, I saw a new building.

 

When I went into the park with wonders, there was a white glass-covered building on the small side of Sakamoto, and some of them were used for festivals.

 

The floats were on display. It is used by a nearby town council, and the size and decoration are different and compare.

 

It was interesting. I couldn't see it from the very close, so it was a great study.

 

You should definitely go to Sakamotocho Park to see it.

Cherry-blossom viewing (Echizenbori Park)

[Satoken] April 6, 2015 19:00

At this time, there are many articles about cherry blossoms.

 

I'm just looking for local stories recently, but on April 4 (Saturday), the annual cherry blossom viewing at Echizenbori Park was held.

 

The cherry blossoms were already in full bloom and began to fall, but it was held as scheduled with some weather.

 

Hosted by the surrounding town council, there are also tents for each town council that provide Yakisoba, Frankfurt, cotton candy, etc.

 

It was so busy that I could think where such people came out. There are many apartments in the surrounding area.

 

There are many people who have lived for a long time, and it is a corner where you can feel the connection with people. I'm looking forward to next year.
