Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Every year, I participated in a nearby summer festival held on the same day as the Sumida River fireworks. Chuo-ku is a city, but when it comes to festivals due to the Edo atmosphere, it is crowded with many people, from elderly people wearing yukata to children.

When you purchase a cool-down fun ticket from the town council, you will have juice, takoyaki, oden, yakisoba, ice cream, Frankfurt, quoits, putter golf, and super bowl scooping. It is a very homey festival because neighbors bake yakisoba etc.

Even with this alone, there is a sense of value at 800 yen, but the lottery tournament is exciting every year. Two bicycles are annual, but this year there was also an eel meal ticket and a total of about 50 prizes. raffle was too busy with the joyful faces of the children who hit them, and the children who had a close number. I used to win 1 million yen in lotteries before, and the lottery is good, so I applied a fan at this festival three years ago, but this year all the three people who participated have been removed.

The Bon Odori after the raffle will soon make a big circle and cheer up just by watching the people who hit the drums well. Ama watermelon was distributed on the way, but I think it is unique to this neighborhood where there are many cheap and delicious greengrocers.

One of the attractions of Chuo-ku is that the festival in the neighborhood is lively, lively and fun.

 The summer tradition, Setomono Market, will be held from August 3 (Mon) to 5 (Wed) from 9:00 to 20:00. The place is on both sidewalks of Ningyocho-dori from the Suitengu intersection to Ningyocho intersection. You can walk many round trips while thinking about what to buy, eat and shop at a long-established store in Ningyocho Shopping Street, and enjoy all day long. After noon is crowded with quite a few people, so the time I recommend is morning or evening.

It can be found in many bargains such as Edo Kiriko, ceramics, vases, lacquer vessels and chopsticks. I think the reason why it is popular is that you can buy good things at a conscience price.

We recommend the corner where you can experience an electric potter's wheel that can be enjoyed by adults and children. There are people who teach me one by one, so even beginners like me can make something they like very much.

If you write a sending slip regardless of color, the work will be delivered to your house in a few weeks. It is unique to the cheapest city, which is about 1000 yen including mailing cost. Why don't you try shopping and try to create a work? It's so fun.
