Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

2nd year of correspondent. I'm going to post it soon.

There is something that I've been wondering for a long time as the row of cherry trees continues.

If you walk toward Showa-dori with Shin-ohashi-dori St. behind, you will find Takashimaya ahead of it.

It's a pump in front of the building. No explanation, just "I can't drink this water."

There's only a bill on it. But water doesn't come out of the pump.

It's a strange sight. If you have any questions, please let me know.

This year, I would like to send out the charm of Chuo-ku with the theme of unexpected sights.

It's been a long time. Here are some of the shops that I have been worried about before I was in the neighborhood.

The name of the shop is "Karaya" and "Glassya".

I was wondering what I could do after the construction started, and I thought it was a yakitori shop because the signboard was made as "Karaya".

It's a bird's feather that expresses "O". It's quite fashionable.

It opened in February of this year, and it was renovated after the "Yoshikawa Glass Store", which was originally run by my father-in-law.

Mr. Yoshikawa, his father-in-law, had served as chairman of the ward association and was a celebrity of the ward. Mr. Yoshikawa, the owner, said he was particular about putting "glass" in the name of the shop.

It is a building next to Akimasa Elementary School under construction. It often stands out in the corner.

Glass products, wood products, skin and cloth products, etc., are carefully selected items that the shop owner has walked and searched.

Order-made is also OK.

You can see the inside of the store well from outside, so it is very easy to enter. The owner, Yoshikawa, is a very friendly person and can shop while having fun chatting.　Please drop in at once.

The end of the public bath in Chuo-ku is nearing the end. There are four more places.

This time, we will introduce Kotobuki-yu in Tsukiji and Kachidoki-yu in Kachidoki.

Kotobukiyu is located in Tsukiji 6-chome, close to Ginza and Tsukiji Market, not only local people but also nearby.

I felt like some of the workers were coming.

Next is Kachidoki Yu. It is located underground in the apartment, and the entrance and front are rather than a public bath.

It looks like a spa, but the bathroom is a regular public bath except for the sauna and cold water bath.

I feel like it. The tiles have a decoration reminiscent of a ship window and are stylish. Temperature of bath

It was 41°C, but it was summer, so I felt hot.

Two more places are Minato-yu and Hinode-yu. Please enjoy visiting the public bath for summer memories.

Please.

August 11 was a fun day with the Reitaisai festival in Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine and the Fire Festival in Tokyo Bay.

I wanted to see it nearby without going to Harumi, so I saw it from the Sumida River Terrace, but the high rise of Kachidoki.

I was blocked by the apartment, and only half could be seen. I'm going to go to Harumi next year.

I did it.

August 11-12 was Reitaisai festival once every three years (maybe). I was able to see it for the first time.

Preparation began more than a month ago, and I was looking forward to what kind of festival it was.

The area around my home (Akimasa Elementary School) is a lunch break place, and it was usually filled with people in places where there were not so many people.

Even so, I didn't know that the shrine parishioner area of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine in Koto-ku was in Chuo-ku. Also, Tsukuda Island has a festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, and I thought it would be very interesting that the portable shrine carrying was different just by separating one road.

Next time I really wanted to carry portable shrine.

It's been a long time. The wind on the way back from the public bath is comfortable. At a public bath to escape from the steamy heat

It's really nice to take a bath.

Today, I would like to introduce "Irifuneyu" in Irifune and "Asahiyu" in Tsukuda.

"Irifuneyu" is located in the building. Originally, it might have been a public bath in the same place.

The inside is very beautiful and looks like an oasis in the city.

Next is "Asahiyu". There were many locals who felt like a traditional public bath.

There was also a picture of the fixed Mount Fuji and a stand, and the scent of Showa was felt. It seems that this year is open all year round.

Why don't you go around the public bath during summer vacation?
